The New Year

Ah and its so fast that the year has come and gone, it feels like only yesterday when i last said those words 'Happy New Year'. But you know the older i get the more boring the new year has become. I think this new year would be the most boring new year i've ever had in Malaysia, the most boring was when i was in NY sometime back. I actually spend the new years alone in my apartment reading magazines that i bought. Hell i remember i didn't even know it was new years until i heard lotsa noise from a distance, probably the celebration down at times square. But just because i was in a foreign country for new years i think the experience would still beat this years dullness.

But seriously new years have now been just like any other day already to me, its strange because i remember back in the day it was a day of celebration where a bunch of friends and me would make our way down to the city to party. Of course there were some new years where we had our countdown in the car, after all everyone is just going to the city anyway. But i guess due to age i just couldn't be bothered about going through the hassle. Besides getting out of my house right now will prove to be a challenge, i heard theres a massive jam because of the new year celebration thats going on in 1U and The Curve. Hrm, actually if i feel like it i probably could just walk there to see whats going on and maybe...just maybe i'll celebrate right there. But thats so highly ulikely, old already la....after all today, tomorrow, whatever day la...its just like any other day.

King Kong...Extended Version!!!

The time now is 5.55AM on a Wednesday morning...ala, just blardee make it 6 in the morning la easier. Now i guess many of you are wondering what in tarnation am i doing up at this hour blogging considering that i've been a lazy ass bum and not blogging, or too busy (like some of you might have complained :P, hehehe) for that matter. Well you see i thought i'd share something really interesting with all of you la while its still fresh in my head.

I actually just got back from the movies, watching king kong...Well for those of you that already saw the show, well i only have one thing to say to you guys....SUCKA!!! Why leh, well because my show started at 12.30am and it finished at about 5am. Mwahahahaha!!! we all got some uncut extended version playing for us, along with a toilet break to boot!!! While the rest of the world had to sit on their sorry asses watching a three hour movie without a toilet break. I can imagine your bladder bursting for holding back for so long (if you did hold back that is), oh gawd it sucks to be you, hahahaha. Anyway i'm really too goddamn tired to blog about it, so i'll continue about this extended version tomorrow or something...if i remember that is, hahaha.

The Night Before Christmas

And once again its that time of the year...and it was the night before christmas and no one was stirring, not even a mouse (hrm, did i get that right? Oh well, who cares). Yeah yeah i know i know i haven't been blogging....been kinda busy lately. So busy you couldn't even imagine, but seriously not busy with WoW, well i mean got la WoW just that that isn't really whats taking my time away from blogging la. After all it is the holiday season and i just have a whole lot of things to do, people to see...places to go, programs to write, blah blah blah, Oh i'm sure you get the picture. Anyways This is just a short post to wish everyone a very very merry christmas!!!

Getting my ass up.

I can attribute my staying at home and playing games whole day and night to the lack of money to go out and have a good time everyday. So in my quest to look for more money my uncle (not blood related) has came up with a proposition for me, and all i probably need to do is just a little programming. Dammit and i swore i'll never touch programming for the rest of my life ever again, oh well...i guess i'll have to do something to get some money right. Keep in mind that i'm not exactly looking for a job, so i think this is a perfect opportunity for me to get some extra cash. I was told that it is an easy program and to what i have gathered i could probably finish the first part of the program in 5 minutes, yes it is that simple....however i'm a little concern over the second part. It kinda sounds very complicating...how complicating??? Well it sounded to me like i had to code a search algorithm, sigh...already giving me a headache. Anyways i'll be looking more into that this coming week. Hope all goes well, and that i'll get some rewards at the end of the day.

You know i really can't see myself working in my current state of mind. I'm afraid i'd start to skip work, don't do work properly and yada yada yada...so i guess thats why i'm not really looking for a job yet. Why leh i'm like this right now? I guess WoW is such a big distraction to me right now, besides that most of my friends are like playing and half of them are working while the other half are just playing. I'm guessing that if everyone was working then i'd feel pressured to work as well, like trying to fit in la. Funny isn't it. Anyway i'm still on course of hitting my target in game, but seeing how things are moving i doubt that i can reach it though...my daily progress has really started to slow down and i'm feeling a little bit of burn out. Maybe a holiday to somewhere for awhile would freshen my mind up and put me back into the mood of getting things going again, i don't know...oh well, like i always said just take a one step at a time and eventually you'll reach you're destination...Have a great weekend.

My life is a bore.

I just don't know what to blog about anymore these days, i guess that explains the lack of updating over the week. The main reason is mainly because i don't do much but play WoW, and thats really just about it. Yes i have degenerated to a no life computer game playing dork who sits on his ass everyday and every possible hour in front of the computer doing nothing but playing games so that one day he will be the strongest character on his server (yeah right). And you know what? It really is quite boring its just the satisfaction of getting stronger and stronger as you progess that drives me to sit here day after day and hour after hour to continuosly play the game.

I guess in many ways its like how we humans are in the first place, we always strive to be more then we are. However in this case what happens is we just transfer all those into a virtual character. Now that i'm actually blogging about it, i feel that i'm rather sad...as in a sad case, cause i really don't have much of a life. I mean for the past few months my life has been revolving around a game. Although i don't think i'll put the blame on the game and my friends who are playing it, after all can you really blame me for playing so much since i'm paying monthly access fees that are ridiculously pricey for someone who doesn't work.

Nothing but WoW

I've been so busy playing so much WoW recently that i have totally neglected updating my blog...well i'm sure that all of you who come here everyday would have realised that, duh!!! Mainly its because i met two people in the game and we quickly became friends, questing together running things together and killing people together as well. Like a team, and we suprisingly worked very well together...So we decided to stick to this winning formula of ours and just stay as a team working and helping each other with quests and stuff. However these two new friends are from all the way across the globe from where i am, so that would mean that the playing time would be very different. Since i have absolutely nothing to do at the moment besides takei everyday...i decided to tag along, and it sorta became a routine...so right now my timing is so totally fucked that if i were to live in canada i would fit in just nice.

Needless to say due to the recent commitments that i've made to the game, as well as setting objectives and goals to achieve i don't really have much time for anything else. Although i do have to admit i am spending and awful lot of time going out for drinks, which could be used to spend otherwise. Oh well i don't think its that much of a concern anyway, well not until i get a job that is...Which i need to mind you. You know if you really think about it my life for the past two months or so have become very dull, i do the same thing over and over without a care in the world what tomorrow would bring. I have to admit that it worries me sometimes but i just don't want to bother about it till whatever needs my attention comes around...to translate that into one single word...Comfortable. Yes i am comfortable with my current situation, and i don't intend to do much about it. I think that i'll just continue to do whatever it is that i do every day for as long as i feel happy about it before i take on new challenges for the next chapter of my life to unfold.

Convocation

Sigh its so sad when i visit some of my daily readings, to be more specific the some happens to fall to all those APIIT'ians that have already graduated. I'm not sad by the fact that they graduated earlier then me, that has been a fact ever since i was still in Uni so it doesn't change much. I'm sad because our convocation is on the same day...Now i'd bet that you're wonderin how can i possibly be sad when the convocation happens to fall on the same day, after all its a good time to meet up with old friends and fellow seniors that were once my classmates, on top of that its suppose to be a happy day since this happens to be a once in a life time event....a milestone even.

Well to cut the story short due to my slacking during the last two to three months of uni, i unfortunately have to re-do some stuff before i can be awarded my degree. So therefore my convocation would be postponed till next year, if i'm not wrong should be somewhere around march...I think. What could possibly be so bad its just a few months only what right??? Yeah well that may be true la but the thing is i don't really know anyone from that batch...wait let me take that back, i DON'T know anyone from that batch, hrm...yeah that sounds more like it. So with that said, how can i not be sad....who gonna happy happy with me during the damn convo. Makes me don't wanna go, but its a once in a life time thing!!! Oh well, not like my parents would be free to attend with me anyway.

You know what fuck it, doesn't really make a damn difference if i go or not....either way i'll still get the most important thing. If you really think about it right, the only thing i don't get is the damn picture of myself with the gown, lol. The brightside would be i get to save money, no need to pay for the gown, no need to pay for whatever that needs to be paid...and i couldn't be bothered to shake hands with people i hardly know. So yeah i guess its settled then i'll just stay at home and don't go...and with all that money saved i think i'd rather use that money to get myself a scrumptious meal now that my friends is what i call a plan!!! hahaha!!!

The Backstroke of the West

Ok this damn thing is pretty old, but for those of you that don't know about it yet you should really check it out its absolutely hilarious. So what is this 'the backstroke of the west"? Well its actually Star Wars : Revenge of the Sith, "the backstroke of the west" happens to be the translation from chinese to english thats on the dvd. Now i bet you're wondering how or what in heavens name has backstroke of the west got anything to do with star wars...well you see i'm guessing that some fool decided to let a moron do the subtitles for the dvd, and i'm pretty sure that the script was in chinese or something. So the moron (being a moron that he is) translated the chinese dialogue into english directly...Yup directly.

Don't ask me to explain to you how he got backstroke of the west though cause my mandarin really ain't that good, hell i guess its even suffice to say that i don't know mandarin. So anyway, i thought that watching movies here in malaysia were hilarious with the titles being translated into BM (national language), but damn!!! these chinese people sure showed me, i can't remember laughing so loud in a long time. Star wars ep 3 was like a total action movie but with this i'd say it made a complete 360 turn and became a comedy instead...of course if you read it the show won't make sense whatsoever, but nevertheless its still funny as hell. If you speak mandarin try translating it back and i'd probably sound right...so without further ado you can check it out at Star Wars III: The Backstroke of The West!!!

Starbucks

Bleh nothing much happening mostly just sat at home to rot my ass off since its maintenance day, thats what people who play WoW call tuesdays. But for all those hardcore players its really the only day and time they can actually do something else besides sit on their asses in from on a pc playing the whole day...Damn sounds almost like me :P

Anyways i had my coffee cravings from last week quenched at last, after all since there wasn't anything to do and there is a new starbucks that opened near the area we thought that it'd be a good idea to go visit the place. It turned out to be unexpectedly packed but besides that i think the open air area is kinda small. Ah doesn't really matter i'm just there to satisfy some cravings.

You know the one thing i really hate about going to starbucks is every single time i drop by, the visit will always burn my wallet. Not that i'm really complaining or anything but considering that if this was the US it would be a hell a lot cheaper to drink the same damn thing over there then it is over here...dollar for dollar that is. And then there was the case of them abolishing the loyalty card system, now it really sucks to go there...but i can't help myself la, i just love my macchiato. Oh well i wonder if i'll get more cravings this week...after all i only satisfied last weeks cravings.

Woot!!! Line is ok again!!!

I missed the weekend and yesterdays posts because my line is finally back to its good old self, hardly an excuse for not blogging right, hahaha!!! Well since my line started operating at what it used to be (if not slightly better) i immediately took it upon myself to kick it up a notch in WoW. So yeah i've been playing WoW, not as much as you think i'm playing but i would definately say more then i used to before i stopped. And again its all to make up for lost time, anyway i think i'll start to play even more this coming few weeks because this time around i have set a target for myself to achieve....in the game la anyway. And that is to achieve the max level by end of the month, its actually not very far off but considering how i so damn love to procrastinate i think it would pose to be quite a challenge really. On top of that christmas and new year celebrations would be coming soon and those two occasions would definately hinder my goals. The main reason why i have set this goal to achieve for myself is because i intend to start looking for a job after the new year. Yes yes i know...by the time i actually would get a job it gonna be like two to three months after i started looking which would give me plenty of time to achieve whatever it is i wanted right....well technically thats correct, but you see getting all them levels in WoW just doesn't cut it, you need to farm for items get this and get that and blah blah blah blah....so those two to three months would be the time i would use to do all those stuff...Neat huh?? Its like i got it all planned out, of course i'm pretty sure life as bitchy as it is would love to throw some unexpected turn of events at me. As a matter of fact i can see them coming already, heres just to name a few...next week might head down to singapore for zouk fest (might), then the following week i might be going to PD for the weekend with some friends then finally near christmas or after christmas might be going for another trip somewhere that i don't know where yet. Besides those that i have just said there'd probably be more, i'm just hoping right now that it doesn't really distract me too much.

Unwanted thoughts.

About two years ago i met someone that really captured my heart, but as cruel as life is an unfortunate twist of events had caused me to loose that someone special to me. A few post ago i was mentioning about how two friends of mine who just broke up with their respective significant others are affecting me right? Well its affecting me in a sense that i started to think about this particular girl again. But that has got to be like last week to three weeks ago, how could i have possibly not overcome it yet? Well its simple really, i got my hands on some MTV by M-Flo and there is a girl in two of the MTVs that looks similar to her. Hell she even danced similar to her, so right now i'm suffering from something i'd like to call the L syndrome (don't wanna put name, so L will do :P). Worst part is the song damn nice and i can't help watching the damn MTV, i probably should just delete it or something. But i don't want!!!! so how, how!!!??? This unwanted thoughts have really put me in a fix...oh well, i'm sure it'll pass, hahaha!!!

Earlier today a friend pop by my place slightly after dinner to borrow some cds from me, and he asked me to show him these MTVs that i was talking about la. I tell you that guy is sick man, Boa he no reaction, but when it came to that girl he was like 'Wah!!!' then he went and take a pillow and covered his groin area!!! When i started to give him the 'WTF are you doing look' he cheekily smiled and took another pillow to cover the same area. Knowing the whacko that he is i told him to stop fantasizing about the girl la, but the fella i tell you he even had the cheek to ask me to pinjam him my toilet for 10 minutes!!! Sicko man!!! gawd i can't believe i know such an evil creature!!! if you could even call him that. I think the next time i'm gonna be meeting him i should bring out a crucifix to ward him from me incase something happens...you can't be too sure la right, better be safe then sorry. Lol.

Slacking in all departments

I need to do more catching up with whats going on in the real world, seems to me that i've been slacking off in every single department. I haven't played WoW for the past month or so and now almost everyone has overtaken me, which is bad news because i won't have anyone to partner with. I'm sitting on my ass at home everyday complaining of boredom, and i couldn't be bothered to look for a job as of yet mainly because i still have things to settle in Uni and therefore i'll only grad next year. Great another year wasted before i start working. I haven't attempted to go to the next phase of cleaning my room so its still pretty much in a mess, although there are less junk lying around. Then theres also the issue of reading, i suddenly realised that i haven't been visiting the blogs that i used to read daily and i haven't updated myself on technology in a long time. All knowledge that i posses right now regarding PCs are so damn outdated that if i were to spec a PC for you it'll probably be something of the past generations of PC or something. Kinda realised this when i was flipping through this PC mag and i noticed that ATI came up with a technology that utilizes two cards which is similar to NVidias SLi technology. I haven't read about it though but i think i really should, hell i didn't even know that those two GPU manufacturers have a new product lineup...Gawd i'm such a slacker, better do something about....Erm, after i wake up that is, hahaha!!!
