Schedule

Just felt a bit busy suddenly. Wasnt something that's too unfamiliar with me but sometimes when busyness sets in loneliness sets in also. It's hard to explain i guess but there's this emptiness when we're taking a break from all these routines that we're doing.

Whining a bit because i guess there's not much time to do so in this current semester. Just take a look at the timetable. ZZZ

Cloverfield

Cloverfield is suppose to be some giant monster lurking around and suddenly on one fine night decided to emerge on New York City and rip off the head of the statue of Liberty. And also deal a hell lot of damage to the other buildings. The idea of filming with the videocam really makes you hate it or love it. For me it's the former, unfortunately. But i must say that this is a GREAT improvement from the previously budget hit Blair Witch Project. At least you can see some action and of course.. the monster. At the end of the day, i'd just like to own the webcam that they are using. It's indestructible. 6/10

World In Conflict

So tell me. How many of you think that Command & Conquer Tiberium War was good? Good aye? This baby here that i've just finished will blow your mind away if you think C&C is good. We were just looking at the graphics itself, and you can hear what the pilots of the Apache was talking when you zoomed in all the way from the aerial view to the chopper in real time. Not to mention intense gameplay and a superb storyline. 9.5/10

My Handphone

Recently, i've been hanging out with very different people across all different ages so i've got to witness some very different mentalities towards the little things in life. Particularly about handphones, because i've met these 2 little boys who just had their first handphones in their life, so it kinda reminded me when i got mine like what... 6 years back?

It's kinda funny when they keep playing songs from their phones over and over again and try to save each others nicknames instead of their real names in the contact list. Man when i had my first handphone, it didnt even last 2 weeks and it got lost on the bus. i cant even view colour pictures from it but at that time, it was such a cool phone! and i kinda get screwed coz it was not exactly cheap (even though it was 2nd hand) and i was using a Hi-Card, which means all the credits inside is lost and i have to change my number and etc etc..

Yeap this is the phone that got lost 6 years back on a bus going towards Whitley Road.

by the way, i still know of ppl NOW who are still using the same Hi-Card from 6 years back. But i digress. The way the boys' faces lit up when they talk about their phones makes me wonder whether there's anything that makes me do that anymore. Oh well, maybe i've really grown up. How time flies :)

Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End

Finally. After a long and arduous wait, i've got to catch this fantastic film. Not that i didnt want to watch it at the cinema but it was released at the time when i was stuck at Deutschland and unfortunately on the day that we wanted to go and watch it, i fell sick. So i ended up missing the whole show until today. Hmm, i must say, this is a very long show. BUT, it is a very nice and long show and thus i think, it is comparable to the first one which was nothing but fantastic. 9/10

Achmed

Boy this is really something to laugh about... haa haa!! SILENCE! I KILL U!

I Am Legend

Contrary to what others find it, i actually find this film quite interesting... and exciting.. maybe because i'm not watching it in a theatre and spending my money.. and of course there is the fact that i'm craving for some movies to watch. So i chose this one and to be honest, i find it better than other post apocalyptic shows (28 days later, 28 months later, 28 years later? 28 etc etc etc) where virus infection has spread through and killed everyboday. And of course, will smith is a good actor :) 8/10

Flying on Wheels

Sadly, i wasnt able to do that today because of gloomy weather and intermittent rains. But recently i've picked up this hobby (recently = few months back) and i'm very happy to say that finally, after falling down a few times and inujuring myself a few times, i can blade. And it's more fun than cycling... haha. at least for now.

There you see it. It's my beloved bumblebee :D

Crysis

Finally, i got to finish this game after intermittent gameplays and busy schedule. Guess this period is the only time that i can breathe and do without practice for a while and thus, play games to kill some of my time. What else can be said about Crysis? Hmm.. if not for the few bugs that i encountered at the end it would have been perfect.. and there's going to be a sequel to it, or maybe more so stay tuned :) At the end of the day, this is a fantastic game. Not as engaging as COD4, but more like Commando and single-handedly destroying everything. haa haa. 9.5/10

Wedding Day

is busy day. And of course, it is a tremendously joyous occasion so here i am, wishing Mr and Mrs Lim a blissful marriage ahead of them and may they have many babies to come. Even though Mrs Lim likes to suan me a lot, i shall hereby overlook that point for one day and wish them a very happy honeymoon at NZ :D how nice i am. HAA HAA.

So here are some pictures from the big day...

There you go. What a lovely couple. I think Jason was trying to communicate with me and that's why it resulted in his cheeky look above.

As you all can see, it was David and May's turn last year and this year, they've brought a little addition with his pong pong cheeks to the wedding! Hi baby Declan!

Well other than wedding day, had some audition in the afternoon as well, and surprisingly, it didnt take very long. With Shili's superb directional skills, i managed to get lost in Bugis before finding Tim and make my way to the meeting point.

Us after the audition. Humidity was soaring and that's why everyone look so uh... tired and wet.

And of course, how could we forget the fabulous wedding night. This year, i have the honor to be the MC again and decided to wear something special. (actually, it's because i dont have any other suit to wear after that afternoon's sweaty intervention at Music Garage)

What an eventful day. I was snoozing even before i got home. Once again, i would like to congratulate Mr and Mrs Lim on their big day and finally, Jason dont have to sleep on the floor.

Movie Mania

Due to recent travelling and busy schedule, the blog has been a little inactive. But it doesnt mean i am, and some ppl requested that i post some more pics but i'm just lazy larh.. maybe sooner... or later... haha depending on my mood...

Just got a com for Christmas so havent really showed it yet but have been busy playing games and of course watching movies so i shall now talk more about the recent shows that i've caught.. not really a good blockbuster new year i would say..

Alvin and the Chipmunks!

First up is the best of the lot i think, and i just love the way the chipmunks sing and well, i find myself singing to their songs after a while.. Theodore is really cute.. But of course, there is the predictable storyline, the lack of realism (but it's acceptable and very cute) and so forth.. but overall, i think the music really rox.. well, if you can talk in chipmunk voice.. 7/10

Alien Vs Predator 2

Next up, is the crappiest of the lot. Watched the first one but i dunno what got me to watch the second one because it is really something that tries to be very tense but turns out to be like a joke. Please larh. 4/10

National Treasure 2

This one is quite exciting actually. Just watched it this afternoon and well, if it aint the movie craze that i have in KL now.. haha.. cheap tix.. It's a bit exaggerated.. and well 'a bit' is if you can imagine yourself kidnapping the President of US of A and get away with it.. yeap. that's how real the show is, but it's really quite exhilirating. 6/10

Merry Christmas everybody!!!

yeap the title says it all!! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYBODAY!!!

this year is really quite happy for me.. got a looooottt of christmas presents and yeap, hope that everyone have their share too!!!

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

After an arduous semester of crappy modules and tough eggs to crack, finally i get to play some games.. serious games i mean... and today i shall talk about non other than COD4, which is a major hit in the gaming industry as it is just fantastic. Yes it is damn chio and the gameplay, even though a bit short, it really is something that is very intriguing and engaging that you will just kept glued to your screen for HOURS... and i mean it.. it got me into troubles.. so here's the score for it.. 9/10

I feel GOOD!!!

and yes indeed i do, for obvious reasons... exams ended (even though it has undoubtedly taken a huge toll on me) and the church camp's coming, and i'm going home!!!! WOOHOO!!! it just feels good when there's no exams to take and nothing to not-look-forward-to.

so i've decided to cheer everybody up by putting one of my favourite cartoons of all time. Even though it's only one picture, larson has never failed to make me laugh at his Far Side comics and here are just some which i found on the net and i had some good time LMAO-ing.

Enjoy :)




Yup. Exam sure kills me.

Console vs PC?

Lately, it has been very stressful. With exams and all coming to you like deathrows, it feels kinda tight and suffocated. Well anyways, that's why i'm here to post this. In a way, i always feel that great revelations occur together. I mean, if you study science, you'll know that a certain someone once discovered a certain something independently with another certain someone at different place at about the same time. It's true. there has been endless accounts of people discovering stuff only to realise that he's maybe 1 day or 2 days later than the other guy who's like 30,000 miles away or something. Makes you wonder if we humans are destined to know these certain truths at a certain time.

But i digress. Looking at 2007, it has been a great year. Especially for the gaming industry. With the arrival of many consoles such as PS3, XBOX 360, Wii... More a marketting gimick than some divine revelation as in science, gone are the good ol' days when the very first Playstation rule the world, with very puny resistance from the likes of Sega Dreamcast (huh?? what is that?? exactly.) In fact, there's so many to choose from, you'd probably have to own all 3 in order to play all your favourite games.

PC used to be the most zai gaming platform ever. There was the first RTS ever, and i even remembered playing the very first Doom on a 486 computer. That was when Nintendo was firing away with their Mario Bros. Over the years, games has evolved of course. Now the graphics, gameply, control and more recently, the online features are all something which a game needs to sell big. In fact, it has evolved so much that the government has step in (not only about piracy, of course) to put their foot down.

Mass Effect, an XBOX 360 game which was initially banned by MDA in Singapore but later rated as M18.

So the big question remains - is our grand old daddy gamin' platform PC going down the drain? With so much firepower from the graphics of PS3, the online features of XBOX 360 live and heck the tiring (very tiring actually) control of the Wii, is the PC going to be outdated to become merely a word processing machine?

The answer is NO. Not in a million years. Quite simply, the consoles can never beat the PC. With the development of hardwares and most notably the graphics card, the gaming industry has always centralised around developing games for the PC, albeit some fantastic ones from Sony. Well only some. In terms of graphics, PC is waaaaaaaaaayyyyy beyond that of the consoles. Even if it's not, it will be in maybe a couple of months after the console is launched? Which is like now if you consider PS3 being launched a few months ago.

Crysis, the most demanding game of 2007. PS3's engine will probably cry before it can load the menu screen.

Well, that's just the graphics. What about gameplay and replayability? Ahh.. so have you heard of any game still being played competitively after it's been released for more than 10 years? No? you're wrong. Of course there is and it's none other than the Korean national sport - on a PC.

If you dont know this game, you shouldnt be wasting time reading this.

Simply put, PC just beats the consoles hands down. We dont even venture into the online features or the controls (playing FPS on an analog controller just stinks - however you look at it). So there you are, the grand ol daddy of gaming. *salutes*

I'm bored. Exams are driving me nuts.

Giving Thanks

OHHHHH KAAAYYYY :D since i havent been blogging for quite a while, so here's a post dedicated to a very special someone again, and to give thanks to God for His grace in my life. Pun intended. LOL.

Lack of Updates

Hi ppl!! the apparent lack of updates is due to nothing more but the oncoming exams which is in about 20 days time? that is NOT a good thing considering i havent really started studying. It just totally kills your mood to do anything and the worse thing is, the construction at the back is really just being anal. and i mean it. they should just go and die.

anyways, here's a happy video for all to enjoy and hope that it will cheer you up somehow. since i dont have my camera with me, i'd have to settle with posting more interesting vids online... haa haa... very bored.

DUDE!!!!!!!!

nothing much to say... DUDE!!!!!

Top Gear

My fellow friends and acquaintances, if you live on a planet call Earth and you call yourself an autophile BUT you have never, ever watch this series before. you ought to be shot.

have to catch it fast though.. youtube and BBC is trying to nick everything that's uploaded on youtube about top gear. season 10 is back and my, my.. it's exhilirating :D

Initial D?!

so you think Initial D is not real? think again. It looks just like Akagi from the arcade.
