When that decission is made, I was very happy as I started to have more time for myself. Guess what happened after day 2 without training? I already started thinking about FIFA and how I can improve myself further. Playing FIFA used to be my hobby, and it turned to be not my hobby due to the buggy version last year. But I think, playing FIFA has become my hobby once again. I will be up for training anytime soon once I am done with my non-gaming issue. WGT is waiting for me and I am not gonna get 2nd anymore. =))Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05662049093699921407noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253445547621033899.post-82410350980537870392008-08-19T20:29:00.000-07:002008-08-19T20:41:24.975-07:00Finally......A Post!It's been like a month since I last update here. To be specific, it's around 6 weeks because my last post is regarding the starting of my internship. I was really busy since July because I need to balance between my gaming time and working time. Weekend is the only time that I can really improve my gaming skills, while weekdays are used to do my usual drills to keep myself in shape. Overall, my achievement for this season is not bad. Getting No.2 in both Celgames and WCG.MY is not really easy and it requires luck as well. To conclude my gaming career so far, I will be looking forward to see whether I can find a way to Germany for WCG or not. While for my internship, things are getting better. More work to do, but still have free time once in a while. Now that I spend less time for gaming, I really hope to update this blog more frequent.Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05662049093699921407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253445547621033899.post-86348042191158513212008-07-10T05:01:00.000-07:002008-07-10T05:28:57.536-07:00Tagged By hunz7 Facts about me:-<br /><ul><li>a serious gamer</li><li>sleep a lot</li><li>love computer hardware</li><li>Liverpool FC fan</li><li>likes Fernando Torres</li><li>Nvidia fanboy</li><li>a family man</li></ul><br />7 things that scare me:-<br /><ul><li>cockroach</li><li>the release of final exam result</li><li>creepy music when the surrounding is dark</li><li>parents when they are angry</li><li>getting stuck in a lift</li><li>watching ghost movie alone in the dark</li><li>bee</li></ul><br />7 songs playing in my mind:-<br /><ul><li>Sugar Ray - Every Morning</li><li>Hinder - Lips of An Angel</li><li>Raymond Lam - Drive of Life (Subtheme)</li><li>Fountain of Wayne - Stacey's Mom</li><li>Linkin Park - What I've Done</li><li>Linkin Park - Leave Out All The Rest</li><li>Buckcherry - Sorry</li></ul><br />7 valuable things in my life:<br /><ul><li>myself</li><li>family</li><li>friends</li><li>my computer</li><li>my gamepad</li><li>my wallet</li><li>my handphone contact</li></ul><br />7 words/things I always say/use:-<br /><ul><li>haloo</li><li>so how</li><li>damn you</li><li>whatever la</li><li>whatever lo<br /></li><li>wassup!</li><li>see ya</li></ul><br />7 friends that I wanna tag:-<br /><ul><li><a href="http://hunz.blogspot.com/">hunz</a></li><li><a href="http://livesyourlife.blogspot.com/">LEX</a></li><li><a href="http://accelerator7.blogspot.com/">Accelerator7</a></li><li><a href="http://www.chapreedagrande.net/blog/upgrading.html">Chapree</a></li><li><a href="http://liangde.wordpress.com/">Lucas</a></li><li><a href="http://kujaboyde.blogs.friendster.com/forza/">Forza</a></li><li><a href="http://wldes.blogspot.com/">Des</a><br /></li></ul>Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05662049093699921407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253445547621033899.post-65036991874272242102008-07-07T04:46:00.000-07:002008-07-07T05:06:33.079-07:00Day 1: Welcome to AMD!Welcome to AMD!<br /><br />That is what the worker there had been saying since 8.00 a.m. for about 4-5 times. I'm not sure whether I'm that welcome or not, but it does sounds nice to me. So, as expected, first day will be an introduction to the company and also a mini tour. AMD Penang is a manufacturing company, so I just go around the production department and see how their make their products. At first the feeling is kinda cool, wearing some protection robe, their ESD shoe and a mask walking around. However this feeling got bored after 3 hours, nothing special but just another uniform. The feeling that still feels great is the feeling going through the air shower. It's pretty cool the air blowing on me, and it will be even cooler if there's some gas spray on me (just jokin'! =p). There is not much to do today besides the tour because my supervisor is kinda busy today. Looking for something special tomorrow as I really bored walking around observing how the produce those processor.Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05662049093699921407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253445547621033899.post-26390198072440909432008-07-02T09:58:00.000-07:002008-07-02T11:15:41.517-07:00AMD!

Before that, I always wanted to own an AMD processor. I like AMD that much simply because it's green and it's not dominating the market that time. But after my WCG pc, I turned into Intel supporter. Enough of background check, let's get into the main story.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">"AMD! Here I Come!"<br /></div><br />From the point of view of common readers, you will think that I am about to go AMD for some mini tour, or some exhibition or maybe.........to work? Yes, I am going to AMD and spend my 3 months of internship there. I feel great, really great. I still haven't stop supporting AMD even though my whole house is full of Intel PC although I did say 'Intel Rawcks!!!'. I will be reporting for duty there on the 7th of July and will keep blogging here every once in a while from now onwards.

Not because my mood is good but because I caught myself in a freaking bad day! Have you ever get trapped in your own toilet before? Sure I have. Not only that, I was alone at home and my housemates will only be back earliest Saturday. If I'm lucky, Mav might come back on Friday.<br /><br />While, when I'm trapped in the stupid toilet, I'm pretty sure that the only way for me to survive is to climb out from the tiny little window which is around 54cm X 60cm located 180cm above the ground. I remember my father told me that, as long as my head can go through a hole, my whole body can go through it also. And I got no choice now but to believe it.<br /><br />The first time I go for it, I failed. My leg barely can go through the window. But I didn't give up, because the only way for me to survive is to climb out from the window. So I go for second try. And this time is a little better. Because after my second try, I figured out that I'm sure I can get out of the toilet. But whether I get my head knocked or not, it's another question. And my leg almost cramp during my second try. So I did some stretching before my last try.<br /><br />On my last try, I managed to get my left leg out. So I slowly moved my body out of the toilet that time and left my right leg this time. This is the second decision that I have to make, that is whether to drop down or to slowly move my right leg out. I choose not to fall cause I'm scared of it. Of course, no one loves falling down where you can't land with two foot. In the end, I managed to get my right leg out with some scratches.<br /><br />I'm really fortunate this time. If not, I will have to survive for 3 days by not eating and drinking toilet water (the worst case). And also I learned a lesson today, that is:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">NEVER LOCK YOUR TOILET DOOR WHEN NO ONE ELSE IS AT HOME!</span><br /><br />Or at least like my friend just told me, 'bring your handphone along to the toilet'.<br /><br />I post this out because I hope no one else will have to die in your own toilet by getting trapped for days. Thanks for reading, this is my first post of 2008. I'll continue posting when I'm free.Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05662049093699921407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253445547621033899.post-35062568000375446782008-01-24T00:13:00.000-08:002008-01-24T00:36:50.008-08:00Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05662049093699921407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253445547621033899.post-7316201843048580052007-03-30T15:31:00.000-07:002007-03-30T15:36:20.873-07:00Review: Command & Conquer 3 - Tiberium Wars<span style="font-weight:bold;">Introduction</span><br /><br />As a fan of Command & Conquer series, I personally glad that I could play this game at the time where it is still new. This is because I never get to play all their series on time. The first C&C comes in before I even have a PC. Then comes Red Alert where that is the time I started playing. That was my first strategy game I ever played and it means a lot to me. Tiberium Sun and Red Alert 2 comes in respectively and I was pretty demotivated in gaming that time, so I didn’t play those. Next is the C&C General and that time I was with my Pentium 3 (500MHz), 64MB RAM, and a piece of Vodoo 3; Definitely I can’t even start my game that time. And now, I can play this version with the highest detail without any problem at all.<br /><br />C&C 3: Tiberium Wars consists of 3 race who they are the GDI, NOD and Scrin. The 3 race are all pretty well balanced. GDI are those good people who don’t abuse the use of tiberium for destruction or any killing purpose. Towards the end of the GDI campaign, you can actually choose to end the game nicely as a good person or you can end it with the abuse of some tiberium super weapon. Of course it takes more effort to win it nicely. While the NOD, with their leader KANE is obviously the race where you use tiberium to destroy or launch super weapons. Scrin, the alien comes into play when you enter GDI and NOD ACT IV of the campaign. This is the new race that never been introduced before throughout the previous C&C series.<br /><br />The story of the Tiberium Wars in the campaign is great. You will start off with either GDI or NOD. After completing both campaign, you will unlocked the Scrin’s campaign. After most of the mission, you will have cinematic. This is what so great about C&C always, they had lots of cinematic to watch. However the cinematic does not get so interesting towards the end of the game. Most of it were mission briefing. It is glad that NOD and GDI had chicks to brief you while the Scrin had some alien briefing you. That is why I conclude that Scrin’s cinematic is worst here. Thank god that it is only 4 missions. The ending of each race is pretty different although they ended in Europe. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Gameplay</span><br /><br />The C&C gameplay is pretty easy to catch, especially in collecting resources. Unlike other RTS, you need to collect two or more resources. While for the C&C, you will only have one which is the tiberium. It makes thing simple and easier to manage. One thing improved here is when you click to drag a group of your units; it will automatically filter out your harvester (worker). It is very irritating if you selected your worker. Because mostly when you drag and select, you attempt to attack and workers don’t attack! This is a good feature there.<br /><br />Units here are hard to control, especially those heavy vehicle. Their respond and movement is slow and you tend to lose them if you are not careful. My favorite Mammoth Tank is one of them. GDI units are mostly heavily armored and a moderately damaging. The NOD is weaker in terms of the unit’s health, even for the heavy units. They rely more on stealth ability. The Scrin is also weaker in their health. But they don’t stealth; they had more unique ability such as mind control or activating protection shield. The strength of air units and ground units is well-balanced as well for all the race. You are not restricted to any unit production limit, so you can produce as many units as you want.<br /><br />Constructing building in C&C is also pretty simple. It is just a few clicks on the right hand side of your bar and your building is out there. Unlike the older version of C&C, this time you have the chance to construct more than one building at once. This gives you the chance to multitask, not only in producing units, but also in constructing building. Overall, I can say that the gameplay is fantastic.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Graphics & Sound</span><br /><br />For a RTS game, this game really has a good graphics. Shadows are everywhere, not only for the buildings and units, but also for the trees around. The game looks bright when you choose the highest detail. The texture for the building, units and terrain are very well done. The graphic on those things are very detailed and it runs smoothly with my system at 1024*768 resolution and the highest detail (except AA - OFF). So I can say that the game is very well optimized as well. The destruction using the super weapon is pretty awesome. It is never bored to be watching it.<br /><br />The sound for Tiberium War is good, but not really tremendous there. Basically, all the gun fire, explosive and destruction are pretty solid. Well, for a RTS game, you can’t really expect much from their sound even on a 5.1 system. At least, the quality of the sound is good and it deserves a full mark in it. I think this is the best on what they can do at the moment.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Conclusion</span><br /><br />If you are looking for a strategy game to play with, this is the one I can really recommend. It has nice stories all the way from the good side until the evil side. This is also a RTS game with fantastic gameplay together with its great graphics. Plus, It is an easy game to learn even for beginners. Hope you guys enjoy playing it! =))<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />System Used</span><br /><br />-Intel Core 2 Duo 6300 (1.86 MHz)<br />-Corsair 1GB Value RAM PC3200<br />-Gigabyte 7600GS<br />-Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music<br />-Logitech X-530 (5.1 Surround)<br />-Philips SHP 805 Headphone (Sometimes)Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05662049093699921407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253445547621033899.post-43518528418520706112007-03-26T11:38:00.000-07:002007-03-26T11:52:46.836-07:00FIFA Gaming ScheduleLazy Lazy Lazy<br /><br />This few weeks I had been very lazy. Schedule of the day is always the same. Wake up, bath, eat, game, sleep, wake up, bath, game and sleep back. Class? Nah, just go if I manage to wake up on time. Plus LYN league is coming, I think I need more time for gaming now. The solution for this is, to come out with a schedule. There is no more 3.00a.m. FIFA everyday for me anymore. Check it out below<br /><br />Monday: FIFA! FIFA! FIFA!<br />Tuesday: No way! Morning class on Wed. Maximum time allowed: 12.00 a.m.<br />Wednesday: FIFA! FIFA! FIFA!<br />Thursday: No way! Morning class on Fri. Maximum time allowed: 12.00 a.m.<br />Friday: FIFA! FIFA! FIFA!<br />Saturday: FIFA! FIFA! FIFA!<br />Sunday: No way! Morning class on Mon. Maximum time allowed: 12.00 a.m.<br /><br />So my FIFA mates, you can message me for FIFA during 3a.m. for any FIFA day there :)<br /><br />**This is mainly for the LYN League players, so let's settle our match on the right time and deadline.Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05662049093699921407noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253445547621033899.post-56193184311698067112007-03-25T06:37:00.000-07:002007-03-25T08:15:31.066-07:00One Post A Week !!!Recently, I had been slacking in Blogging. Three months just passed without any post. My bro just reminded me that my last post was last year......how embarrassing. I think I'm not disciplined enough to keep on blogging. Well, to me, this is a healthy event and it has to be continued. Today onwards, I announce that every Sunday is My Blogging Day. Which means that I'm gonna have at least a post in a week. No less, only more. Hope i can get more courage from readers. =))Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05662049093699921407noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253445547621033899.post-52277765575137337672006-12-31T22:25:00.000-08:002006-12-31T23:21:22.306-08:00Goodbye 2006<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_iMSCeYLWNR8/RZi2Iy9ujgI/AAAAAAAAABI/a81VwILxooQ/s1600-h/DSCF0504.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_iMSCeYLWNR8/RZi2Iy9ujgI/AAAAAAAAABI/a81VwILxooQ/s400/DSCF0504.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5014958447312932354" /></a><br /><br /><br />2006 was not a bad year for me though, but somehow there's sure disappointment through the year. I'll start with studies.<br /><br />One of it was having too many supps in 2006. At the moment is a total of 4 supps, 2 of them is due to failing in finals. I still remember that time I was checking the result at Jason's house, so I did slam his mouse(Sorry~~~~). The other 2 was because I postponed the final exam to have more time for my FIFA training. But somehow, the great stuff last year on my studies was i still manage to all my supps, whether it's 2 papers or one. It's not a good thing to celebrate somehow, so I agree with Mav3. No more supp after the Digital subject's paper.<br /><br />Financially, not that good initially because I was taking extra subjects and reduced my extra spending from my study loan. It gets even tighter in mid 2006. Until when I leave M'sia to S'pore for Asian WCG, another release of the study loan came. From there things start to get better. And even better when I won the WCG.MY. But most of the cash fly away when I went to Italy. However, Celgames do help me a little and hopefully EFC in this mid year.<br /><br />My family members care for me a lot and I love them a lot. Not a thing to worry at all because it is always peaceful. My brother had been scoring well in studies and making my parents proud, so it's a very good thing. Relationship wise, erm.......not yet. My friends around might want to see me holding a girl's hand and go out, sorry........not so soon. Need to learn how to take care of myself first before taking care of another person.<br /><br />In gaming, started well when I won the MMU LANC in FIFA category. Well, I was given the a free win to the final and fight for the victory from wisd, but they still haven't pay me yet!. Then things started to go wrong when i lost in Malacca. I was knock out in the very first round. Then things get worse when I can't even reach top4 in EFC. I was at top32, losing to my own clanmate, lleonu. However things changed when I won the WCG.MY. Although I don't really expect to be winning it, but somehow i made it. Then I went to China for training with the top3 Chinese player. And then go to Italy and compete. Result wasn't that good, top32 again. But at least i get to play with the world Champion and also a guy called Champion. HAHAHHAA! So after that is CELgames, I got 2nd there losing to my own student, Solidsnake. Anyway, he's a strong guy and he deserve the victory. GG! Total, I had collected RM2420 cash from competitions and a PC, earned the most so far. I have calculated that the maximum i can earn is, RM3520, so i eventually got 68.75% of it. <br /><br />I got quite a number of hardware and original software this year. For hardware, it will be a PC, TITAN mousepad (X2), Razor Mantis, Logitech Rumblepad2 Gamepad, Creative Headset (X2), Everglide Keyboard, and Apacer 1GB Pendrive which are all free. For software will be PC-cillin 2006, FIFA06, FIFA07, and Need for Speed Carbon which are also free.<br /><br />It was quite a beautiful year to me, but I'm sure I'll have better in 2007.

Initially, I plan to introduce Jack to Bengyew, but too bad he's not in. So left me, Ben n wisd. Anyway, I think Jack is happy in the sense that we are celebrating New Year with him or maybe other people will refer as 'it'. I fully utilize my speaker this time, until the guard come up and complain. Anyhow, we don't really care, we close our windows and continue our party. We had about 42 songs blasted and I didn't see my soundcard + speaker complain. Anyway, if my soundcard is dead, I'm gonna get an X-Fi before celebrating CNY. So why not i crash it. HAHAHAHA Joking Joking. At the end of the session, Ben gave me this wallpaper when he's high:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_iMSCeYLWNR8/RZgIxS9ujfI/AAAAAAAAAA4/oAm6233A-lk/s1600-h/jd.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_iMSCeYLWNR8/RZgIxS9ujfI/AAAAAAAAAA4/oAm6233A-lk/s400/jd.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5014767828074401266" /></a><br /><br />Anyway, I'm also half way high when posting up this post!<br /><br />HAPPY NEW YEAR BUDDIES !!!!Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05662049093699921407noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253445547621033899.post-79963585500731368102006-12-19T11:14:00.000-08:002006-12-20T04:45:06.055-08:0010 Years of FIFA Gaming......Continue?During my trip to China, BCH the China FIFA player asked me that since when I start playing FIFA. Very well, I told him since FIFA97. So he replied me by telling me that i had already played FIFA for 9 years. I wasn't counting about the years of my FIFA gaming until he tell me. Yesterday night while i was on my bed turning around (well I always can't sleep easily), I count the amount of years I spent on FIFA. Basically, I really spend 10 years for FIFA gaming, but I did slack on FIFA2004 and FIFA97. <br /><br />Throughout all the versions of FIFA, I experience the graphic changed slowly, until I cannot imagine how's FIFA97 looks like. Buttons of the game do change. I remember when I first played FIFA97, it was only 3 Button; Lob, Pass and Shoot. No sprinting that time because in order to spring u need to hold the pass/lob button. So I was using a 4 button gamepad that time to play with my bro.<br /><br />Then in FIFA1998, they start introducing 5 more buttons that can be used, which is Q(Evade slide tackle), W(Sprint), E(I forgot what is it for) and Alt + Ctrl(perform skill). The cool part i can remember about this version is that you can play for 45mins per-half. Guess what, I tried it! I was using Brazil that time, and i was scoring 90 plus goals. Ronaldo's name was No.9 last time, and he headed uncountable amount of goals.<br /><br />Then in FIFA1999, the world class standard's passing was like ping-pong speed @-@. New player definitely cannot cope with the speed of passings by the AI. However, my good twin-friends who is currently in UK now (Alan n' Antony) taught me a cool trick of beating the AI. It's cheating I can say, because from that time onwards, the game is no longer need teamwork. I can score myself as long as my Q and Shoot button does not spoil.<br /><br />When it comes to 2000, it's again a non-teamwork game. I went to wisd's house and see how he play this game. He was using a striker and keep on spinning all the defenders and end up one on one with the keeper. Whoa, Zidane is everywhere that time! I still remember that i went to the twin's house, I got thrashed badly. However my Bicycle Kick after an indirect free kick surprises them. HAHAHAHHA!<br /><br />On the same year, Euro2000 came out. This time, your player will goes blur after a spin. Realisticly, it's true..........but the blur thing is way too much. The player is looking down on the floor after a spin and keeps on running where I don't see Zidane doing that after doing a spin.<br /><br />2001 comes and this time, it was another non-teamwork game. Because you can spin around and score again! But the cool thing is, you can perform overhead kick after a cross quite successfully. This is the game in WCG, so my clan leader told me that, in order to block this trick, is NOT TO PRESS ANYTHING when your opponent is performing overhead kick. Strange huh.<br /><br />FIFA 2002 is the game where long shot start to come in. Initially, I find that the AI is cheating, becoz all their shots are undefendable! But when I start to learn how to shoot like them, I abuse it. HAHAHAHAHA! I use it and score after a kick-off. So this is the time where after a kick-off, we must back pass rule comes in. And the rules continue until now. <br /><br />On the same year as well, FIFA WC 2002 also comes in. This is even more cheating. Star player can score easier using longshot. Previously, I still need to hold Z or C to curl, but in WC, i just need to hold D to shoot. It was even possible to score directly from corners!<br /><br />Logically, after 2002 is 2003. So, this time me and wisd taught crossing rules in the game. But, if we were to enter WCG that time, I think we will get thrashing by longshots. This version was my first ever version to play LAN with wisd also. So we enjoy being as a team and enemy as well. His favourite formation was the one with 2 defenders, a Gung-Ho type. But when we start playing LAN, it was the end of 2003, waiting for 2004 to officially come out.<br /><br />So, FIFA2004 introduced a buggy thing called OTB (OFF THE BALL). From the trailers, the feature is so cool until everyone was impressed. But in the end, the feature spoils the game. The whole WCG tournament was full of unrealistic long balls. So that time, the buggiest player own everyone. I wasn't too long with the game, because i switched to PES3 to have more fun. No LAN, but more realistic. This game was the one made my housemates don't want to play soccer games with me. Because they turn off my monitor, but my speaker sounded GOAL from the commentator. It was crazy, but I really did score that time!<br /><br />In the year 2005, it was the year that i officially steps into the FIFA Gaming scene. This version introduced FIRST TOUCH and it's really useful. This is game with least bug and really fun to play. My best move was Rebounds and Rainbow skill. It's unique and I'm the only one using it in WCG.MY. Although the founder of the rainbow skill is wisd, but i practised from time to time until i master it. Only two person in Malaysia get to counter that, which is wisd and si_jali! It was my debut in tournament, so getting 4th in every major tourney doesnt sound so bad >.<<br /><br />In 2006, the gameplay is different from 2005. Initially, I can't get used to the sprinting, because all the defenders can run faster than strikers. This is also because that they put it in a way that, player who's running with the ball, runs slower. But crossing still rules in this version. With this program called multitool, it canceled lots of longshots and proper build up is really required in this game. So, the German guy won and he really had a calm build up.<br /><br />As usual, every two years EA will have 2 FIFA games. This time is the FIFA WC 2006. I owned lots of people before the multitool is introduced. Because I can do chipping shot and score every one on one. But once the tool is out, I started to get owned. The game is kinda random and I couldn't really understand the game well before EFC(A game tournament) start. So, I lost terribly in that competition despite beating some kid 12-1. MUAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!<br /><br />OK, then the latest FIFA games is FIFA2007. It was more random and buggy game compare to previous few version. Even until now, I still cannot cope with the method of playing it. Corners, Longshots, Crossings and LONG Longshot can be scored anytime. The keeper got better and got worse in certain situation. So in the end, the keeper still bad. After trying the whole game and testing most of the scoring method, I really did ask myself whether should I continue to participate in competitive tournaments such as WCG or not. Very well, it's already the 10th FIFA, why I would gave up. The road is still long for WCG.MY 2007 and I'm not giving up until I see dead-end. <br /><br />Since it's a decade of FIFA gaming, I would point out some of my favourite version, which is FIFA 99 and FIFA 2005. This two is really a nice game for me to play, even now I feel like playing it.

Hmmn, let's see what can I comment about the game. It was short, as I expect from what my friends told me. But not disappointed about that. I prefer Carbon much more than Most Wanted. Might be these days I'm bored of looking at games with heavy soft shadows. Even FIFA07 also had these soft shadow thing. It makes me sick and I really prefer playing FIFA07 in night mode setting. Good thing about Carbon is I don't need to to be chased around the city by a bunch of Cops, Jeep and Chopper. This time is rather easy, because i just need to race around with my opponents and win the game. Although the pursuit thing is still there, but this time I don't need to carry loads of bounty and get rid of the cops to win. The main problem I encounter was the Canyon type. I always crashed down the hill. I had played NFS since NFS-2, so this is my 9th NFS game. I can say that NFS-2 and NFSU1 is one of my few favourite NFS generation. ;)Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05662049093699921407noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253445547621033899.post-47135128192571172892006-12-15T12:35:00.000-08:002006-12-15T12:48:10.909-08:00Liverpool vs BarcelonaJust this evening, when my roomie, wisd just come back from submitting his assignment, he browsed the soccernet website and read one of the biggest headlines which is the Champions League draw. He had a very big laugh there and and tell me 'Liverpool Pah Kah Barcelona, HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!' Bugger! Anyway, I'm sorry to this few years, Liverpool had been beating top clubs(Juventus, Chelsea) in Champions League. Their previous meeting is during UEFA Cup semis if I'm not mistaken, 1-0 agg and LIVERPOOL won. Furthermore, we had a Spanish manager against Spanish club this time. Although Barcelona is the winner of Champions League in 2006, but Liverpool is the winner in 2005. I'm sure Liverpool gonna storm through this round!<br /><br />=YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE=Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05662049093699921407noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253445547621033899.post-80601107487086932952006-12-15T10:55:00.000-08:002006-12-15T10:57:46.400-08:00World of Warcraft: Burning CrusadeI'm always a Big Fan of WOW trailers.

I woke up at this time and it is 16 hours to go before my midterm starts. Initially I planned to study few hours and take a few hours of nap then continue until 8p.m.. Well, things started great as I study at the living hall until my good friend Ben come and kacau me. Nothing much, he just come out and have a break, plus drawing funny stuff on my empty paper. After that, he went back to the room n' sleep. Ok, the funny things start here; I got a tooth-ache! This is the 2nd time i got tooth-ache and it's real painful. I'm forced to sleep at 4a.m. and set my alarm clock so that I can wake up at 8a.m. and start study again.<br /><br />RIIIIIIIIING !!!!!!<br /><br />Whoa! Alarm clock start ringing and congratulations Loon, it's 12p.m.. You are just 8 hours away from the test and you still have 80% more to cover. Guess what, I'm cool and wasn't panic at all (Well, I'm experience with last minute work). I slowly take my time and take a nice bath and buy my lunch as well. My tooth wasn't that pain anymore, so can bear with the minor pain and start study. So how I study?<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_iMSCeYLWNR8/RYLnwM2EOmI/AAAAAAAAAAk/vs_PxD_OjYQ/s1600-h/DSC00737.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_iMSCeYLWNR8/RYLnwM2EOmI/AAAAAAAAAAk/vs_PxD_OjYQ/s200/DSC00737.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5008820550857144930" /></a><br /><br />Nola, I wasn't like that. I was in front of the TV instead, watching DOHA 2006 (Asian Games). Thank you Stephen, he wanted to watch Malaysian's Wushu. Anyway, back to my studies, I remember during my last tutorial class, my tutor did mentioned that, "the midterm test will be based on the tutorial". So, I just finish up all the tutorial and try to study and remember it. So, around 7.30p.m., I already finished revising those tutorials. I plan to slowly walked to campus. OMG! It's drizzling! Walking under the rain and take a test after that is hard for me. So, once I'm there, I start with looking at the question paper. @-@ The first phase that comes into my mind is 'WTF!'. The question aren't familiar and definitely I'm pretty sure that it's not from tutorial. I'm really DOOM and I think it's the toughest midterm ever. I thought that I was the only one having the problem, but after the test, my friends all come to me and have the same phase as what I had at first. Lots of people also refer to the tutorial only.<br /><br />Well, the only good thing that only comes to me on 14 December I guess is I'm not the only one with the midterm problem. I don't have any tooth-ache on the next day. Hope that the bad day thing is over. <blockquote></blockquote>Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05662049093699921407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253445547621033899.post-58864712950136023472006-12-09T23:32:00.000-08:002006-12-09T23:33:31.847-08:00Doraemon Dance<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2IL6XUtyBdE"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2IL6XUtyBdE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><br />Video from HUNZ BlogAdministratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05662049093699921407noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253445547621033899.post-88930148767331562272006-12-09T23:29:00.000-08:002006-12-09T23:30:32.397-08:00Cute Nurse To The Rescue<div align=center><a href=http://www.buzzhumor.com/videos/5121/Cute_Nurse_To_The_Rescue><h1>Cute Nurse To The Rescue</h1></a><center><a href=http://www.buzzhumor.com/videos/5121/Cute_Nurse_To_The_Rescue><img src=http://www.buzzhumor.com/images/36/nurse_to_the_rescue193cI.jpg border=0 alt=Cute Nurse To The Rescue></a></center></div><br /><br />Video from HUNZ BlogAdministratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05662049093699921407noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253445547621033899.post-3491900620450656232006-12-09T22:56:00.000-08:002006-12-09T23:18:31.531-08:00Substitution: Oblivion OUT, Guess What Comes IN ?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_iMSCeYLWNR8/RXuxVlZ4YpI/AAAAAAAAAAM/jNfF4O1AFU8/s1600-h/neverwinter-nights-2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_iMSCeYLWNR8/RXuxVlZ4YpI/AAAAAAAAAAM/jNfF4O1AFU8/s320/neverwinter-nights-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5006790395128472210" border="0" /></a>From the big picture up there, you should have already know what is the new RPG comes into my life. Thanks to wisd a.k.a. cc, my roommate who bring this game into my life. Anyway, when I start playing the game yesterday with the highest detail, the game wasn't as smooth as I thought. Not very fantastic graphic comparing to Oblivion, but a RPG game would definitely attract me to get addicted with it. However, if the patch that I'm applying later still couldn't fix the bugs, then I might give up on it. =D<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_iMSCeYLWNR8/RXuzZ1Z4YqI/AAAAAAAAAAU/KS6Iukex0oM/s1600-h/aj_splash.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_iMSCeYLWNR8/RXuzZ1Z4YqI/AAAAAAAAAAU/KS6Iukex0oM/s320/aj_splash.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5006792667166171810" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">*HEY DUDE, YOU ARE NOT GETTING AWAY FROM MY HAND !*<br />*HAHAHAHA!!!!*<br /></span></div>Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05662049093699921407noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253445547621033899.post-56883542695469905162006-12-08T20:07:00.000-08:002006-12-08T20:25:47.935-08:00Badminton ----> A Gold ?Me and my housemates watched the badminton semi-final of Asian Games 2006. It started off with Chong Wei from Malaysia going against Taufik from Indonesia. Chong Wei lost 2-0 in the best of 3 set. It was a close game there. But Chong Wei suppose to win. What do you expect somemore from the world no.2 there? >.<<br /><br />Next we have the Malaysian men's double, K.K.Koo and B.H.Tan. This pair is cool I can say. Just 2 days back, they beat the world no.1 double from China 2-0 and one of the game was 21-9. Can you imagine the world no.1 struggle against this Malaysian unseeded pair? Then on yesterday, again they beat one of the best pair around, who ranked no.3 from Indonesia. Still the result is 2-0 and I can see Malaysia is having a great form here. If the form were to continue tonight, I can see the gold is in our hand.<br /><br />Well, I never been so supportive in badminton before. Previously, I just watch for fun and don't really care who wins or loses. Might be I just represented Malaysia in one of the Cyber Games tournament 2 months back. It makes me so supportive these days. I can feel how those players feel whether they are leading in front or lagging behind. Although our main different is between holding a racquet and a gamepad, but mentally, our thinking is the same.<br /><br />Good Luck Malaysia for the finals ^^Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05662049093699921407noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253445547621033899.post-77486152462314057832006-12-07T13:06:00.000-08:002006-12-07T13:55:31.513-08:00Bye Bye OblivionAfter 50 hours plus of Oblivioning, finally I manage to close down all the Oblivion Gate. At first, I find the game is too easy as I put the difficulty bar to 1/4 . So what I did this afternoon was to restart the game and played with the highest difficulty. You know what? I got killed by a rat in this difficulty in the very early of the game. What the heck ! During my previous difficulty I was so immortal that even the high level oblivion creature hardly put a scratch on me. Anyway, it's a sign for me. It's meant for me to gave up and start my studies.<br /><br />(Oh yea, and to start playing FIFA 2007 as well =D)Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05662049093699921407noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253445547621033899.post-55927420939143308982006-12-07T12:09:00.000-08:002006-12-07T12:15:47.653-08:00First Post !<span style="font-family: arial;">Hi reader</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> Thanks for reading my first post.
