Programming

2009-10-26T19:37:00.001+08:00

Damn that Delphi. It makes everything look so confusing. I thought programming was supposed to be easier!

Anyway, I managed to understand enough to make a radian to degree converter and vice versa. All thanks to copy and paste. =)

Also, File 710 is now out.

Cheers.

OK!

2009-10-19T01:31:00.003+08:00

Finally, my boredness got hold of me and I am now updating my blog again, with useless things. Weee....

Had a trip to Belgium yesterday. Hated the weatherand cramped bus space, but overall the trip was quite nice. Managed to get some chocolates but no choc-liquer at all. Why didn't I follow the other group?

Met a whole lot of Malaysians here at Imperial College. But still there are more that I haven't known yet it seems. They often like to get together and cook to fill time (or just to evade homework like me). Also met quite a number of Singaporeans, including army scholars. Sounds nicer than government scholars. Haha. On a serious note, Singaporeans are really studious.They even managed to finish a few problem sheets (homework) even before the study group.

On to other things, DCTP has finally released Movie 13, the only other movie to show heavy involvement of the Black Org. To get the link, go Google DCTP. Also, the mangas have been quite updated since my last post. The latest file is File 709, featuring Eri in a hot spot again. Again, head over to the DCTP website to get the latest file.

You just gotta love DCTP and their releases!

10 Fruits

2009-07-10T08:16:00.001+08:00

Bigger is not always better as shown in this joke.

Three guys get captured. The bandits that caught them tell the guys that they are going to kill them. The guys beg for their lives, so the bandits tell them if they want to live they must go into the forest and pick out 10 fruit each. The 10 fruits has to be the same. The bandits swear they will release them if they do. Obviously wanting to live, they set out.

10 minutes later the first guy returns with 10 apples. The bandits smile and tell him that he has to stick the apples up his ass one by one or they kill him. If he makes any sound or shows pain he dies. He starts...gets in 1...2...3...4..5 and then can't help it, laughs and they shoot him.

5 minutes later, the second guy comes back with 10 berries. The bandits tell him he has to shove it up his ass or they kill him. If he shows any kind of pain or makes a sound, then he dies.He starts...gets in 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9! And on the 9th one he bursts out laughing suddenly and they shoot him.

The APPLE guy meets the BERRIES guy in heaven.
The apple guy says, "Dude, you had 1 more to go, why would you get yourself killed?"
The berry guy replies, "I couldn't help it. I saw the last guy...and he was coming with 10 pineapples.

Anyway, I think I'm gonna get a break from posting on this blog.

File 699

2009-07-09T07:36:00.000+08:00

Just one step away from the anticipated File 700. Its been a long time since I ever saw a 1-part case.

Here is > File 699

Ting-a-ling Goes The Bell

2009-07-09T07:35:00.000+08:00

Three young candidates for the priesthood are told by the Monsignor they have to pass one more test: The Celibacy Test. The Monsignor leads them into a room, and tells them to undress, and a small bell is tied to each man's penis.

In comes a beautiful woman, wearing a sexy belly-dancer costume. She begins to dance sensually around the first candidate. Even before she has begun to remove her veils: *Ting-a-ling* goes the little bell...

"Oh Patrick," says the Monsignor, "I am so disappointed in your complete lack of self-control. Go take a long, cold shower and pray about your carnal weakness."

As Patrick leaves, the dancer then continues, slowly dancing around the second candidate and peeling off her layers of veils. As the last veil drops: *Ting-a-ling* goes the bell...

"Joseph, Joseph," sighs the Monsignor. "You too are unable to withstand your carnal desires. Go take a long, cold shower and pray for forgiveness."

The dancer then proceeds to dance her sensuous dance around the third candidate. Slowly around him she dances, now devoid of all of her veils, but the third candidate remains unmoved.

"James, my son, I am truly proud of you," says the Monsignor. "Only you have the true strength of character needed to become a great priest. Now, go and join your weaker brethren in the shower."

*Ting-a-ling* goes the bell

Lucky (Joke)

2009-07-08T17:31:00.003+08:00

I was happy. My girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married. My parents helped us in every way, my friends encouraged me, and my girlfriend? She was a dream! There was only one thing bothering me, very much indeed, and that one thing was her younger sister.

My prospective sister-in-law was twenty years of age, wore tight mini skirts and low cut blouses. She would regularly bend down when quite near me and I got many a pleasant view of her underwear. It had to be deliberate. She never did it when she was near anyone else.

One day little sister called and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived. She whispered to me that soon I was to be married, and she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome and didn't really want to overcome. She told me that she wanted to make love to me just once before I got married and committed my life to her sister. I was in total shock and couldn't say a word. She said, "I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want to go ahead with it, just come up and get me." I was stunned. I was frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs.

When she reached the top she pulled down her panties and threw them down the stairs at me. I stood there for a moment, then turned and went straight to the front door. I opened the door and stepped out of the house. I walked straight towards my car. My future father-in-law was standing outside. With tears in his eyes he hugged me and said, "We are very happy that you have passed our little test. We couldn't ask for better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family."

The lesson? Always keep your condoms in the car.

Again another extract from somewhere online.

These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.

Top 20 Homicides In The World

2009-07-06T17:46:00.000+08:00

Got this from the internet. So don't ask me if they are real or not. Just laugh and ignore the sillyness.

20. Alex Mijtus, 36 years old, was killed by his wife, armed with a 20 inch long vibrator. Mrs Mijtus had had enough of her husband's strange sex practices and one night during a prolonged period of "fun" she snapped, pushing all 20 inches of the vibrator into Alex's anus until it ruptured several internal organs and caused severe bleeding.

19. Debby Mills-Newbroughton, 99 years old, was killed as she crossed the road. She was to turn 100 the next day but, crossing the road with her daughter to go to her own birthday party, her wheel chair was hit by the truck delivering her birthday cake.

18. Peter Stone, 42 years old, was murdered by his eight year old daughter, who he had just sent to her room with no dinner. Young Samantha Stone felt that if she couldn't have dinner no one should, and she promptly inserted 72 rat poison tablets into her father's coffee as he prepared dinner. The victim took one sip pnd promptly collapsed (Samantha Stone was given a suspended sentence as the judge felt she didn't realise what she was doing, until she tried to poison her mother using the same method one month later).

17. David Danil, 17 years old, was killed by his girlfriend Charla after he attempted to "have his way with her". His unwelcome advances were met with a prompt kick in the chest and then four shots from a doubled barrelled shot gun Charla's father had given to her an hour before the date started, just in case.

16. Javier Halos, 27 years old, was killed by his landlord for failing to pay his rent for eight years (yes, eight years). Landlord Kirk Weston clubbed the victim to death with a toilet seat after he realised just how long it had been since Mr Halos paid his rent.

15. Mary-Lee Cooper, 11 years old, was killed by her one year old sister who climbed on top of her while she was sleeping, suffocating her.

14. Megan Fri, 44 years old, was killed by 14 state troopers after she wandered onto a live firing, fake town simulation. Seeing the troopers all walking slow down the street, Megan jumped out in front of them and yelled, "Boo!" The troopers, thinking she was a pop up target, fired 67 shots between them, over 40 of them hitting their target. "She just looked like a very real looking target," one of the troopers stated in his report.

13. Fiona Given, 17 years old, was killed by a hitman hired by her ex-boyfriend after she broke off their relationship. The hitman was promised to be paid $500,000 for the task. The hitman killed the boyfriend after he found out that a 16 year old high school student, whose father was in jail for rape and whose mother worked as an ironing lady, didn't have access to $500,000.

12. Louis Zaragoza, 68 years old, was killed as he prepared to drive to work. His wife, Lee Zaragoza, had been plotting to kill him for over a year, and had cut the brakes on his car four times previously. On this attempt, Lee was just about to cut the brakes again when Louis snuck up behind her. He grabbed her and spun her around. As he did, she lost her footing and stumbled into him, stabbing him in the lower ventricle of the heart, killing him instantly.

11. Mahmood Foli, 22 years old, was killed by an unknown member of the Russian Mafia after he accidentally took away the gangster's drink too soon at the nightclub he worked in. The gangster was so upset that he forced the waiter to drink over 27 litres of Coca Cola (the drink he had taken away) until Mahmood drowned.

10. Julia Smeeth, 20 years old, was killed by her brother Michael because she talked on the phone too long. Michael clubbed his sister to death with a cordless phone, then stabbed her several times with the broken aerial.

9. Helena Simms, wife of the famous American Nuclear Scientist Harold Simms, was killed by her husband after she had an affair with the neighbour. Over a period of three months, Harold substituted Helena's eye shadow with a uranium composite that was highly radioactive, until she died of radiation poisoning. Although she suffered many symptoms, including total hair loss, skin welts, blindness, extreme nausea and even had an ear lobe drop off, the victim never attended a doctor's surgery or hospital for a check up.

8. Military Sargent John Joe Winter killed his "two timing wife" by loading her car with Trintynitrate explosive (similar to C4). The Ford Taurus she was driving was filled with 750 kilograms of explosive, forming a force twice as powerful as the Oklahoma Bombing. The explosion was witnessed by several persons, some up to 14 kilometres away. No trace of the car or the victim were ever found, only a 55 metre deep crater and 500 metres of missing road.

7. Patty Winter, 35 years old, was killed by her neighbour in the early hours of a Sunday morning. Her neighbour, Falt Hame, for years had a mounted F6 phantom jet engine in his rear yard. He would fire the jet engine, aimed at a empty block at the back of his property. Patty Winter would constantly complain to the local sheriff's officers about the noise and the potential risk of fire. Mr Hame was served with a notice to remove the engine immediately. Not liking this, he invited Miss Winter over "for a cup of coffee and a chat" about the whole situation. What Winter didn't know was that he had changed the position of the engine. As she walked into the yard, he activated it, hitting her with a blast of 5000 degrees, killing her instantly, and forever burning her outline into the driveway.

6. Michael Lewis, angry at his gay boyfriend, used the movie 'Die Hard With a Vengeance' as his inspiration. He drugged his boyfriend, Tony Berry, into an almost catatonic state, then dressed him only in a double sided white board that read "Death to all niggers!" on one side and "God loves the K.K.K." on the other. Lewis then drove the victim to downtown Harlem and dropped him off. Two minutes later Berry was deceased.

5. Jay Newton was killed after a co-worker at Sea World in Florida dropped a 20 tonne killer whale on him. The whale had been hoisted out of his tank by a Master Tonne Crane, when the victim swam underneath to inspect the harness. His colleague, Brian Hartley, released the whale, crushing the victim instantly (and emptying a quarter of the water from the pool).

4. Carl Densinter, 34 years old, was killed by a fellow worker trying to prove a point. The worker, San Amote Pet, disconnected the internal landing gear settings on a Boeing 747 test plane (the plane's gear automatically retracts after take off). But come landing time, the landing gear wouldn't re-engage. The helpless Densinter couldn't do a thing as the plane eventually ran out of fuel. In an attempt at an emergency landing, the 747 exploded and Densinter was killed instantly.

3. Mary Dridely, Joseph Coles and Haven Gillies were killed as they walked past a New York apartment building. David Smee, aged 7, and his 6 year old sister were left alone in their 27th floor hotel room by their parents as they went to the hotel's gaming room. Bored, the kids though it would be fun to try to squish the "ant looking things on the foot path below" (people). They started by throwing fruit, then quickly graduated to chairs, televisions, even the drawers from the bedroom dresser.

2. Conrad Middleton, 26 years old, was killed by his twin brother Brian after a disagreement over who should take the family home after their parents passed away. Conrad had a nasal problem and had no sense of smell. After the argument, Brian stormed out of the house, then snuck back later, and turned on the three gas taps in the house, filling it with gas. He then left out a box of cigars, a lighter and a note saying, "Sorry for the spree, have a puff on me. Brian." Conrad promptly lit a cigar, destroying the house and himself in the process.

1. Gail Queens, 23 years old, was killed by her zookeeper boyfriend Matthew Kellaway after she refused sex. He 'invited her' to the zoo to see the lions feeding, and at feeding time led her into a room that had a large slide away panel. He explained to her that it was a large glass viewing window to watch the lions devour their prey. He 'ducked out for a quick smoke' and locked her in the room. Suddenly the slide away panel opened to reveal many people staring at her. She was just about to yell and tell them that they were on the wrong side of the glass when she realised that it was her on the wrong side. Another panel opened and three hungry lions were let into the pen. Gail survived for two days in hospital before dying of massive internal injuries.

File 698 + OVA 9

2009-07-04T09:06:00.003+08:00

The conclusion to the Gothic Loli case has been released. It wasn't really hard to guess who the killer in this case. Hopefully, the next case will be more exciting. There are also some news about File 700 being a case related to the Black Org. But if File 700 is a new case, I wonder what File 699 would be?

Anyway, check out File 698 and the preview for File 700 below:

Also, its seems that DCTP has released OVA 9. I didn't even knew it existed...

How Martians And Venusians Shower

2009-07-02T12:13:00.001+08:00

HOW MEN AND WOMEN SHOWER DIFFERENTLY . . .

How To Shower Like a Woman:
Take off clothing and place it in sectioned laundry hamper according to lights and darks. Walk to bathroom wearing long dressing gown. If you see husband along the way, cover up any exposed areas. Look at your womanly physique in the mirror - make mental note to do more sit-ups/leg-lifts, etc. Get in the shower. Use face cloth, arm cloth, leg cloth, long loofah, wide loofah and pumice stone. Wash your hair once with cucumber and sage shampoo with 43 added vitamins. Wash your hair again to make sure it's clean. Condition your hair with grapefruit mint conditioner. Wash your face with crushed apricot facial scrub for 10 minutes until red. Wash entire rest of body with ginger nut and jaffa cake body wash. Rinse conditioner off hair. Shave armpits and legs. Turn off shower. Squeegee off all wet surfaces in shower. Get out of shower. Dry with towel the size of a small country. Wrap hair in super absorbent towel. Return to bedroom wearing long dressing gown and towel on head. If you see husband along the way, cover up any exposed areas.

How To Shower Like a Man:
Take off clothes while sitting on the edge of the bed and leave them in a pile. Walk naked to the bathroom. If you see wife along the way, shake wiener at her making the 'woo-woo' sound. Look at your manly physique in the mirror. Admire the size of your wiener and scratch your butt. Get in the shower. Wash your face. Wash your armpits. Blow your nose in your hands and let the water rinse them off. Fart and laugh at how loud it sounds in the shower. Spend majority of time washing privates and surrounding area. Wash your butt, leaving those coarse butt hairs stuck on the soap. Wash your hair. Make a Shampoo Mohawk. Pee. Rinse off and get out of shower. Partially dry off. Fail to notice water on floor because curtain was hanging out of tub the whole time. Admire wiener size in mirror again. Leave shower curtain open, wet mat on floor, light and fan on. Return to bedroom with towel around waist. If you pass wife, pull off towel, shake wiener at her and make the 'woo-woo' sound again. Throw wet towel on bed.

Quick Laughs

2009-07-01T16:37:00.003+08:00

I have just decided to update my blog with jokes and humorous articles that I found on the internet. Most of them are found in forums and emails.

Think Before You Speak!

Here are six reasons why you should think before you speak - the last one is great! Have you ever spoken and wished that you could immediately take the words back.... Here are a few example:

FIRST TESTIMONY:
I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids in tow and asked loudly, 'How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow job?' I turned around and walked back out and never went back. My husband didn't say a word.. he knew better.

SECOND TESTIMONY:
I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of golf balls. I was unhappy with the women's type I had been using. After browsing for several minutes, I was approached by one of the good-looking gentlemen who works at the store. He asked if he could help me. Without thinking, I looked at him and said, 'I think I like playing with men's balls'

THIRD TESTIMONY:
My sister and I were at the mall and passed by a store that sold a variety of candy and nuts. As we were looking at the display case, the boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help.
I replied, 'No, I'm just looking at your nuts.' My sister started to laugh hysterically. The boy grinned, and I turned beet-red and walked away. To this day, my sister has never let me forget.

FOURTH TESTIMONY :
While in line at the bank one afternoon, my toddler decided to release some pent-up energy and ran amok. I was finally able to grab hold of her after receiving looks of disgust and annoyance from other patrons. I told her that if she did not start behaving 'right now' she would be punished. To my horror, she looked me in the eye and said in a voice just as threatening, 'If you don't let me go right now, I will tell Grandma that I saw you kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!'
The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange. Even the tellers stopped what they were doing. I mustered up the last of my dignity and walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow. The last thing I heard when the door closed behind me, were screams of laughter.

FIFTH TESTIMONY:
Have you ever asked your child a question too many times? My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training and I was on him constantly. One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch, in between errands It was very busy, with a full dining room. While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny, so of course I checked my seven-month-old daughter, she was clean. The realized that Danny had not asked to go potty in a while. I asked him if he needed to go, and he said 'No' . I kept thinking 'Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don't have any clothes with me.' Then I said, 'Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident?'
'No,' he replied. I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the smell was getting worse. Soooooo, I asked one more time, 'Danny did you have an accident ? This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over, spread his cheeks and yelled 'SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!' While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing, he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down. An old couple made me feel better, thanking me for the best laugh they'd ever had!

LAST BUT NOT LEAST TESTIMONY:
This had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days and a very embarrassed female news anchor who will, in the future, likely think be fore she speaks. What happens when you predict snow but don't get any! We had a female news anchor that, on the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't, turned to the weatherman and asked: 'So Bob, where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?' Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew did too they were laughing so hard!

Heroes of Newerth

2009-06-27T18:01:00.003+08:00

WTF! Total DotA rip-off!

The heroes (even their skills) and items look so much like DotA. its basically DotA on a different engine. LOL.

Anyway, I have seen the some videos and pictures. On the good side, the graphics are so much more nicer than the graphics of the very old Warcraft 3. But too bad, I don't think they can ever reach the same status as DotA. I think its bound to enter the same category as Demigod and League of Legends, which is the 'tried-but-failed-to-outdo-dota' category.

Hopefully, the much rumoured DotA-type map for Starcraft 2 comes out instead of just being a gamers dream.

Its Over!

2009-06-25T22:13:00.006+08:00

Finally, the exams are over.

I managed to watch Blood : The Last vampire today.

Kind of a disappointment if you ask me. Too much CG's and too little focus on the storyline.

Anyway, its time too enjoy. Haha. Its time to DoTA~!

My Last Test-ament

2009-06-24T08:31:00.003+08:00

Ok! I'm now done with 3 quarters of my exam. Just one last crucifying paper left to do....

PHYSICS

Damn that subject. Its even harder now than during my A-Levels. So many more equations, or as my lecturer likes to say 'animals in the zoo' (Note: He thinks the collection of equations are like a collection of different animals in the zoo), now make the subject more complicated.

I hope to at least reach 75% of the overall score to keep my scholarship. Though its actually quite little if you ask me.

Maybe... just maybe, I'll be able to secure some sort of scholarship to go Imperial College. Then I wouldn't need to care about this exam. But, I'm still pretty much in the dark regarding my scholarship applications.

Haiz... I've always hated zoos.

File 696

2009-06-24T08:22:00.002+08:00

File 696 is out and it features one of the most known culture in Japan, gothic lolita, which is almost similar to cosplay.

One of the things I found interesting was the picture of haibara in goth loli. It could almost become true. =)

Anyway, enjoy the case!

Imperial

2009-06-02T19:48:00.001+08:00

Finally! Imperial has replied to me....

However, they went straight to applying for accommodation instead of giving me an unconditional offer letter. So weird.....

Anyhow, now I must choose from single, double, twin, triple, etc... rooms and even decide on en suite or not. So many choices.... Why can't they ever make things simpler?

Shaman King

Due to lack of internet speed, I have been postponing my downloads and have began reading a new manga series. Most people might have heard of it before. Its called Shaman King. The overall storyline is just ok, but the characters are the ones worth mentioning. Especially Hao. i just can't seem to get enough of him. Too bad he's supposed to be the antagonist in the story. Anyway, I'm currently waiting for the last few chapters to be translated. Hope they hurry on it. =)

File 692 + 693

2009-06-01T18:18:00.002+08:00

The last part of the Haunted Warehouse case, which is File 692 was released a while ago. Took me a while to post about it because I was too busy with projects. Its not really surprising to see Hattori aiding the Detective Boys. After all, he is one of the closest rival Shinichi/Conan has.

The Adventures of John & William

2009-05-05T18:52:00.002+08:00

I found this post in the Dota-Allstars forum, specifically in the Dota Media section. The comics are totally hilarious, as it makes fun of almost everything about Dota and its fans. Anybody that plays Dota should take a look at it. I just hope the creator continues doing what he does best! Link right here:

Yesterday, my bro showed me this website that can be used to trick simple minded people. The way it works is so simple. Unfortunately, the method to make it work is easily found on the web. But, it sure is a lot of fun when used properly. Anyway, this is the website:

By the way, I'm too lazy to explain how it works so you guys have to figure it out yourself.

2009-04-10T14:08:00.002+08:00

Recently, our country has gotten a new PM. This reminded me of something in the Simpson's Movie.

One of the most famous quotes from this movie was "I was elected to lead, not to read". Hopefully, our country's top politician don't do things that way.

A New Case

2009-04-09T12:32:00.002+08:00

A new case , titled Shiratori's Memory is now out! Judging by the the first part, I am inclined to think that it was the girl from Shiratori's past that killed this time. Oh, such a shame his crush turns out to be a murderer.

Anyway, read it now at > File 687

Homework

2009-03-02T12:11:00.002+08:00

Classes have started for me at Monash and I have already got homework on my first day. Haiz...

At least they said that attendance for lectures is not compulsary. This gives me a little bit of hope...

Anyway, the cafeteria here is almost the same with that at Sunway, with the exception of having a few more shops and being a little bit more expensive. Its a good strategy anyway. If you want any cheaper food, you would have to walk quite far just to reach medan.

At any rate, my timetable is now a big mess. They hardly allocated me any of my top preference and now I got classes on everyday, with some of them ending at 6pm.

On the other hand, the facilities provided here are quite top notch and pretty amazing. At least better than anything I have seen before.

Lets hope for now I get to survive the university life.

Unfortunately, I can't post the video here. So, here's the link >>> LEFT4LOL

WTF!

2009-02-17T16:56:00.004+08:00

What a weird day. I wake up early in the morning cause I intend to follow Hilmi to college.

In my spare time, I decided to play DotA. In my second game, my team (Sentinel) managed to push all the way to the Scourge base under 10 min, thanks to a pro spider. Then, everybody except 1 player on the opposing team left. Must be very threatening to be able to push that fast.

Then, I finally reached college. Just when I was about to go cc with Hilmi and Scott, Ms. Helen introduced me to a representative from Waterloo College. I ended up getting an offer on the spot, but had to travel back and forth from the IEC and the Registry just for the offer.

In the end, I finally managed escape. But alas, fate was not on my side. Scott and Hilmi had left the cc and I was left alone. Then, Scott said that he would join me at the cc after his classes. But, he didn't show up at all.

Sick

2009-02-14T11:08:00.005+08:00

Argh...
I'm so sick I completely lost my voice. Must be the cold drinks I had on Friday while celebrating Hilmi's birthday. If anybody intends to communicate with me, kindly SMS me only.

DCTP Manga Releases

2009-02-09T22:07:00.002+08:00

Just for fun, I will now be updating this blog with the latest translated manga from DCTP.

The current latest release from DCTP is File 680 and File 681.
The case is titled A Dangerous Pair.

Note: The releases are not weekly like some manga out there.

L4D

2009-02-06T23:16:00.002+08:00

Left 4 Dead. Wow. Quite an awesome game. I must say that Valve Corporation has done some of the best games in the market such as Half-Life and Team Fortress. Lets see what they come out with next.

I played at least 4 hours non-stop with Hilmi, Scott and Eng Chong. Too bad Eng Chong had to leave early. I enjoyed playing the infected zombies the most. Just like Scott and his Tank.

Anyway, I would highly recommend anyone who has a capable computer or a nearby cybercafe to start playing this game.

Replacements

2009-02-04T12:52:00.003+08:00

Now that Dattebayo is not subbing Naruto Shippuuden anymore, I have found at least 3 groups who are currently subbing it. Though their quality might not be as good, its better than nothing.

The first group, Taka, seems to be the most promising replacement for Dattebayo. However, their files are only obtainable through torrent and IRC, both which I dislike.

The second group, Anime-Bento, is currently my top choice. This is because their files can be played on my DVD player. However, their releases currently lack karaoke for the OP and ED. Lets hope they improve on that. So far, the only direct download I can find for this group is at Sharingan.net

The last group, which I believe is currently the most widely known, is HorribleSubs. Their releases can be found at almost all websites offering direct download. But, as the previous group, there is no karaoke. Unfortunately, I don't think they have their own webpage as well.

So, I wonder how long each of this groups will outlast each other and become the true replacement for Dattebayo.

Happy Chinese New Year

2009-01-25T20:04:00.000+08:00

As the title says, I wish everyone (including the non-chinese) a very prosperous and wonderful Chinese New Year.

Not forgetting, I'd like to thank Hilmi for borrowing me his laptop.

3A

2009-01-21T08:34:00.000+08:00

I am totally elated!

Woohoo!

I managed to pass my test with 50/50. On top of that, i finished it in 15 minutes. Perhaps I could have done it faster if not for the person next to me always asking me questions. In the end, the guy next to me still failed. Haha.

Replay Data Specs:
==================
- "Ban",playerid,heroid: is sent for each time a hero is banned in cm/xl
- "id" packets are sent after the mode phase (supports -sp)
- "GameStart",1: synced to time 0 ingame (creep spawn time)
- "9" packets are now sent each time a hero is picked

Switch:
========
If someone wants to switch player slots with an enemy player or leaver, he
types -switch . If he types -switch without the slot it lists the possible numbers that can be used. After a player uses this command, no one else can attempt a switch for 60 seconds, to prevent confusion. All players are then presented with a command to enter to accept, something like "-switch accept" or "-ok". If 100% of all player agree , then you take the slot of the player you swapped with and both heroes swap positions. Players have until the 60 seconds are over to accept the offer.

Driving Lesson

2009-01-11T14:51:00.002+08:00

Wow...

I don't mind getting up so early in the morning for the lessons but whats the point? I'm there but the stupid instructor is not. I ended up waiting about 3 hours (less than that actually) before the instructor arrived.

In the end, the wait wasn't even worth it. The class was so boring I almost fell asleep 3 times. Thankfully, the toilet was nearby so I managed to stay awake by splashing my face with water.

Finally, I now dread sitting for the exam cause I'm too lazy too study for it. Not too mention doing the question book which has 500 questions.

Oh well.... Thats life.

Yu-Gi-Oh!

2009-01-07T11:28:00.003+08:00

Recently, due to boredom, I have taken up watching a new anime which is Yu-Gi-Oh!. The quality kinda sucks at the beginning but gets better with GX and especially 5D. The storyline is mediocre, but the best parts are the card battles. I haven't played the TCG for quite a while since their last game on the GBA platform, so there are now so many new cards to discover, especially the synchro monsters. The only thing I don't like is the number of episodes which stretches more than 200. Well, nothing is ever perfect.

Damn That Garena !!!

2009-01-02T16:19:00.003+08:00

Haiz... My hard earned exp in Garena is gone! No thanks to the NOT WORKING-STUPID HACK I decided to try. Now, I have to use another account to play. Haiz...

No matter. At least I still got my UCpro account. Ucpro is SO much better than the stupid Garena. At least it has a ban list and less leavers. Too bad i cant hack it. Now, I must train my skills and try not to remain a noob for life.

Too anybody interested in playing at the UCpro server, check out their website and sign up now!

PC Fair

2008-12-15T15:10:00.007+08:00

On Sunday, i went to the pc fair with my friend. It took him only 30 min to find what he wanted and got out of there. As for me, i took my time looking round and round and round.
Finally, after all the walking, my mind decided to buy a 160GB portable hard drive. I know the memory size is quite small, it was my only option with so little money.
Haiz....
Anyway, it's a Western Digital Elements Portable HD
