My Line is down

Ok so i haven't posted in a really long time, as my last post indicated i had some connection problem, it actually got worst in the next day or two. So right now my telephone line has officially been terminated, therefore i can't actually connect at home. As a matter of fact i'm in my friends house (and not to mention my neighbour as well). I decided that i should explain to everyone about my absence of late. I honestly don't know when my phone line will be back up and i honestly wish it would be back as soon as possible. Suddenly i realise how boring it can get once i've been disconnected from the internet...I spend day after day watching movies and anime, a finished watching the movies i have so fast that i have to rewatch them again when i really have nothing to do, sigh...thats like so sad. On the other hand i know that i could always come to my neighbours place to borrow his line, but then i don't feel very nice about it la. Besides carrying my laptop to his place everyday would make me look really suspicious, hahaha....well at least i think so la anyway. So anyways until my telephone line is back up there won't be any new posts.

Goddamn connection!!!

Dammit what the hell is wrong with my damn connection, yesterday like that...today also like that, and i am the only one that seems to be having problems with my goddamn connection. So whats the problem??? Well my line keeps disconnecting, and i really don't know what the hell is wrong...maybe its because i didn't pay my phone bill, well obviously that can't really be the case cause it only started giving problems like yesterday. Of course today is alot worst then yesterday la...mahemz, you would believe how long it took me just to put up this post. I can't get anything done now with the line like this, and because of it i'm bored as hell...now where the hell did all my movies go to??? I have to start getting back all my movies from all those people who borrowed them for situations like this, dammit i spend practically the whole day watching trailers that i have saved into my hdd and pacing around the house. I feel so on the edge right now that just a little nudge might cause me to blow. Now i have to delay 2 more posts that i had planned for another day thanks to my stupid connection...oh well like i've said before malaysian, unreliable at best.

The Evolution of Gaming - Part 2

Due to the introduction of multiplayer modes in games, games soon became competitive where players would challenge each other in the form of deathmatches either in group or on a 1 on 1 basis. I am not too sure but i think it started over the internet rather than LAN, but LAN connections soon became increasingly popular and therefore the emergence of cybercafes...sigh i remember those days as if it were just yesterday, so damn fucking expensive!!! hahahaha. Yeah so anyway here in malaysia our internet connection is like crap...so no point in playing over the internet (now different la of course), so we all played in cybercafes. Very soon cybercafes started openning every where in the klang valley, and in order to promote their new establishment they organize competitions with cash prizes to win. And so my youngsters flock to cybercafes to practice and sharpen their skills...countless hours and money is spent in these establishment, but not only do the winners get to bring back money...they also gain recognition. As the gaming community grew so did the competition and having said that no one can stay at the top forever. But obviously this trend did not start in Malaysia, to my knowledge it started in the good ol US of A. This is the birthplace of what is now termed as 'cyber-athletes' or 'pro-gamers', who actually play games for a living by constantly challenging one another to vie for the top spot of the their respective game. It really became a big thing when 'Thresh' won a ferrari, some of these gamers even quit their jobs to focus on their training as a 'Pro-gamer'. All this eventually evolved even further with the WCG (World Cyber Games) which is basically the Olympics of Games which is held like every year...although i don't keep track of it anymore. The WCG is held in their respective country to determine the finalists that would represent that respective country to battle it out in the finals held in where ever its gonna be la basically. So the winner would be like world champion!!! Cool ain't it...Previously it was just CPL (Cyber Professional League) which was always held somewhere in the US but it eventually opened up to the rest of the world, now i'm not sure also...hahaha. Although right now i think that the scene of pro-gamming has died down a notch since its hype few years ago, but of course its still there i just don't think it is such a big deal as it was back in the day. Some people even achieved 'superstar' status from winning the WCG...i heard that in Korea fans (hot chics :P) actually flock to see their favorite player in action, hahaha!!! Oh well, guess i'm already too old for that...hahaha.

The Evolution of Gaming - Part 1

I was exposed to video games be it computer games, console games, arcade and etc at a relatively young age. Well probably not as young as kids these days but for my time i think it should be quite young la. Although i never actually had a computer or a console till i was pretty much in my teens i did enjoy a fair amount of electronic gaming. I remember can still remember those old games from way back when the graphics was like total crap, dual tone colors...which eventually evolved slowly to what you see today. As games evolved with technology so did the learning curve and difficulty of games, it just got more and more challenging. There was practically no such thing as multiplayer games and there sure as hell wasn't any MMORPG. I can't exactly remember when was the first time i played a multiplayer game over LAN, but it should be around the time when Doom 2 (if i'm not wrong) came out with a multiplayer version...hahaha, i can even remember it was in school. During those days i don't have a PC fast enough to handle something like Doom, so i had to go to my buddy's house after school to play. Ahem....So anyway, one day the school had some sort of LAN party and alot of people brought their comps to school and hook it up using parallel cables (gosh now thats some ancient way of networking pcs). After everything was setup everyone had a share to play Doom (can't remember whether it was against each other or with each other). It was from there that computers started to come with a multiplayer mode, where people can connect via LAN network, TCP/IP or IPX. Games like Warcraft and eventually Red Alert and Quake took the gaming industry by storm and revolutionize the way games are played forever. Ahhh....the good old days.

Repetitions of my daily life

Well i slept early last night and i woke up really early in the morning, so what did i do for the whole day??? Play WoW thats what!! hahaha...my dad has been asking me if i plan to get a job yet and all. I think its a little too fast for me to start working right now, maybe after my character has reached the max level that things would be slower then maybe i'd be in a proper state of mind to work. At least i won't be thinking about trying to level my character right??? But come to think of it that isn't a really long time more, i'm already more then half way there already after all. Looks like i'll be waking up early again tomorrow morning, oh wait its more like later....oh well at least it gives me more time to play without going out too much. Yeah like i've been saying life for me right now is pretty much dead boring, play WoW, eat, more WoW, go out for a drink, WoW again then sleep. Sigh such a carefree lifestyle...on the downside though there isn't any money coming in la, its just going out...and its going out in a moderately fast pace, which is bad la. Gawd life has been so monotonous but surprisingly satisfying...hrm, i'm just wondering when will this end, after all everything has to come to an end. Oh well guess i'll have to deal with it when the time comes la...Speaking of which since i have all the time in the world, i think i should get my lazy ass of my seat and literally rip my hands of the keyboard and mouse and get my room cleaned, Damn is it messy in there...maybe thats why i don't sleep in my room these days, lol. Hrm, i think i'll just deal with that next week or something, hahaha.

Need to sleep.

I am so freaking tired!!! feels like i can just drop dead on my keyboard any moment now...Its kinda strange that i'm tired considering that i'm on this really long holiday that can never end unless i want it to, but nevertheless i'm still tired. Actually tired would be an understatement, i'm physically and mentally drained...hrm, now that sounds better. Why leh cause i have been up for 24 hours already. Its really funny cause i thought that now that i'm on holiday there would be absolutely no need for me to stay up the whole day, its pretty normal i guess when you're studying...usual la have to complete assignments (last minute), studying for exams and what not. Sigh so happens i was in the mood to play WoW i decided to stay up and help friends and myself to level. Oh gawd, i so damn need to level...for someone thats on holiday i really don't seem to be playing all that much, as a matter of fact i don't play much at all, i just hang around in game doing nothing pondering what is the next thing i should do. Anyway i got my motivation today and i pushed myself to the limits. I think in a few more hours then i'll go to sleep...hrm, and if this goes according to plan, that i'll probably wake up in the morning and fix my time....damn!!! lol. Oh yeah and in order to keep myself awake today i kinda drowned myself with coffee, although i think i overdosed on coffee, my stomach is feeling a little funny right now...it has that 'you had too much caffaine' feeling. Hrm, looks like i can't achieve my objective today...oh well, nevermind after all tomorrow is another day. Dammit i really don't feel so good...think i'm gonna get sick, body temperature is definately higher already. Ok ok, i'll go get some rest in about an hour or two.

Network is up.

Kinda overdued post but i finally got the damn wireless router to work so now i can go online with 2 computers at home, mwahahaha!!! Hrm, but considering that i'm the only person in the whole house that uses a computer, why would i need 2 comps that can go online??? Oh well, but it has been one hell of an experience setting up this thing. You could say this was the first time i set up a network on my own, with minimal help from friends or from reading manuals and it was quite an achievement for me at the end of the day so i was very happy when it finally worked. Hahaha, its really funny because before it worked i was constantly running out of my room to the hall and back to the room again constantly testing to see if the connection has been made, tweaking some settings and whatever. After 2 hours i was already having a headache and i swore that i would break something up if it didn't work at the end of the day. Guess i have a strange way of venting my frustrations...lol. Anyway since its up and working my desktop has never been off since, and since my desktop is in the room with only a single table fan which blows either me (when i'm sleepin) or my desktop (when its on) i decided to sleep in the hall. Come to think of it i've never slept in my room since i got the router workin. Hrm, maybe my body has been aching everyday is because of the couch well it is a couch after all, although its really comfy and all it is a little too small to sleep in...Oh well, nevermind i think i'll just leave things be until maybe one day i can get an aircond installed into my room then only i'll consider moving back into my room.

Saturday Night

Damn my whole body feels sore, and thanks to the rain that we've been experiencing (well i'd rather it rained and be cool compared to the scorching sun) my nose is fucked up again. Anyway reason for my body being sore was thanks to saturday night, although looking on the bright side i did have a good time. Saturday was a pre birthday celebration for fever and we had it in 'Passion', so before i get into detail thanks fever for a very enjoyable night at your expense, hehehe. Well firstly the music wasn't that great, and to what i heard the previous week had much better music on compared to last saturday...Dang!!! now why wasn't i there last week??? Oh well...anyways we arrived at approximately 11pm so the place was still pretty quiet but slowly picking up. And i would say about 30 minutes after we sat down one bottle was already finished...damn that was fast, all you fuckin alcoholics!!! hahahaha....wait a minute i think i just condemned myself too, doh!!! But no worries one bottle down and two more to go...damn, this is gonna be a long night, well at least thats what i thought to myself. So roughly about 5 glasses i think i already had my share of the alcohol and decided to make like a leaf and leave...well obviously not leave the club la, more like leave the table and hit the dance floor.

Passion is split in two, upstairs and downstairs...upstairs plays electronica and downstairs caters to those R&B and hip-hop lovers. My personal preference would be downstairs...the only thing i really hate about going downstairs is that its constantly packed!!! And i'm not just talking about packed, i'm talking about packed like fucking sardines packed!!! On top of that i was wearing a turtleneck that i bought in the states during WINTER, so it was really thick...oh gawd, it was so fucking hot i tell you. Well that teaches me to wear a turtleneck huh??? On the upside, in rained quite heavily that night so at least i was kept warm, so no worries over there...better be warm that cold, i might have ended up getting pneumonia or something, hahaha....nah ain't exactly that weak. So anyways met some really old friends from way back over there, and its cool cause we gotta catch up a little bit and get to know what everyone is up to these days. Since its a club well there we're lotsa very hot looking ladies around with a lotta skin to show, too many i'd say. Too bad i didn't summon up enough courage to chat one up...lol!!! Hrm, or maybe i didn't drink enough...well whichever you prefer. I even met some of my classmates from second year, although i don't really know them. But what really made my day was they played some old school rap from back in the days when i first started listening to 'black' music...stuff from 2pac and snoop, sigh those really bring back some memories. Maybe i should dig up my cds and pop it back into my player to relive my past, then again i'm too lazy to look it up...oh well, anyway last saturday was also a personal celebration for finally finishing my goddamn studies so it was all good. So thanks Fever for a memorable night, hope there'll be more to come...hehehe!!!

Eating out

I've been eating out ever single day for the past....darn i can't even remember how long, i'd have to say for at least the last 4 years. And honestly i'm getting sick of the food that i've been eating. Think about it how many places do you think i've actually been to?? Well considering that neither me or my friends are willing to travel far to eat, we visit the same places over and over again. So yeah, i've probably tried everything in all the places that i go to eat...From time to time we make the little effort to go a little further for some grub, but a little further isn't exactly that far anyway la. Sigh, i wish that i got food at home so i don't have to spend so much money eating out. Cook??? Well don't look at me, i'm hopeless in the kitchen...But my sister calls me a professional maggi mee cook, lol. Hrm, come to think of it i think its quite true too. Of course besides travelling to different venues to eat is one problem, another would be budget....i tend to always overspend on food, well not that i'm really complaining or anything (unless the food really sucks) but i really do think that food now a days is really overpriced. So say i go eat something that costs me roughly RM10 for a meal, and if i visit that same place like 3 times in 1 week, then i know that i'll be broke before my next allowance comes in. So any suggestions on a few places for me to visit thats around PJ area???

Routines

I think i've been slacking away far too much for my own good...suppose to wake up early thats what i told my self like 2 days ago, and 2 days running i'm still waking up late. But all in all i'm still happy and content with the amount of time i have on my hands and furthemore this provides me with a good way to relax and recuperate from the mental exhaustion that i got during the last month of my Uni days. Isn't it strange that no matter which phase in life you're in everything always follows a certain routine...Like a few months back (for me), its always waking up, going to class, pick dad from work, dinner, freetime to do whatever, then sleep and then repeat the whole process from the top. But now with all the freetime that i have i would have expected changes within the routine but nooooo....now my routine has evolved to sleep, hrm, not sleep la more like hibernate, then wake up, WoW, dinner, WoW, breakfast, WoW, sleep....hrm, yeah thats about it. Sounds so damn boring. And if you think about it everything we do is a routine, later when i go out to work it'll probably be something like wake up, breakfast, go to work, lunch, continue work, get stuck in jam on the way home, dinner, chill, sleep and take it from the top again.

So now the million dollar question is probably how do we break away from this routine? I think leh we can't, its a never ending vicious cycle where our lives are dictated to doing the same thing over and over again...i guess the only time it changes is during different phases of our lives. Like now that i have officially ended my studying life and so i am taking time off to relax and blah blah blah, so this is my routine....gawd i'm such a pig, lol...oink oink. hahaha. But somehow or another i really dread to start working and shit like that, so its kinda like a dilemma that i'm stuck in right now. Guess its true, you'll only improve when you are uncomfortable...oh well i guess when the time comes then i'll do something about it, as for now....i'll just stick to my routine and be a pig and do whatever the fuck i want whether its productive or not, good for my health or not, well honestly i don't give a flying fuck, let tomorrow be tomorrow and live for today.

Vicious cycle

Did you guys hear??? Bali got bombed again...this time killing some 20+ people. And so the vicious cycle starts over again, sigh...i guess this will never end. I once said that this will never end and because of minor differences between people this cycle will continue to go on forever and ever. Although we as humans are tailored from the same cloth ( at least thats what i'd like to believe and it is true to a certain extent ), there will always be differences and this killing and fighting amongst ourselves will go on. But it is my theory that we can unite together, but only on one condition...now i'd bet you'd wanna know right??? hahahaha....My theory is that if aliens were to come and invade earth with the intention of destroying the human race, then and only then will the human race unite as one to fight of the this new threat. I mean it is only natural what right, in order to preserve our own lives we would do whatever that is necessary....After all it is in our nature, so i'm pretty sure that is the only way that would happen.

I am a big fan of star trek, you know the sci-fi tv series...hrm, i think i've mentioned this before. So anyway it would be great to be living in that age, where there differences are put aside, there is no longer any currency, no use of money, no poverty, everybody is equal and most importantly borders are broken down. That would mean that there is no longer any crap such as my territory or your territory and shit like that. I think its a beautiful world where everyone can live together in total peace and harmony, well of course there is always the problem in space la...hahahaha. Oh well, its never gonna happen la, guess its all just wishful thinking. Well at least its not gonna happen in my lifetime la. Hrm, you know what as a matter of fact i dare say that the world will end before that ever happens...bleh, this goes to show just how selfish we humans are. On a happy note though, i'd like to wish a very happy birthday to Mr. Sum Ting Wong (Not real name by the way), well congratulation and may you have many more birthdays to come.
