I can't sleep.. Maybe I should have accepted eugene's dota call at 3am after all =.=" I actually went to bed early.. roll here roll there.. then woke up.. showered at 3.30am in the morning, and now back at my computer.. Eugene and Shirmin are going back to Melbourne tomorrow, and Kelvin has already gone back.. It makes me feel my time is about to come.. I got about like a month more to go before I return to Melbourne, but I feel conflicted now more than ever..
I always like the idea of being free and independent financially and time. Someone else might sneer and say maybe when I'm 55 and when im retired, but i disagree.. I hate the idea of being chained down by a job, by rent, by money essentially.
Right now, I hate leaving Malaysia. I'm finally home, back with my family, and I'm really comfortable where I am.. Its not so much me hating Melbourne, its more of having the heart of leave my family..
I'm just so damn conflicted... =/ I hate this, I just really hate this.

Subang at war..
I came back to Malaysia to find my neighbourhood tuned into a war camp zone. It must be, after all there are fences everywhere and guards to guards the prisoners inside. Subang it seems have been chosen to become a large prisoner of war camp of some sort. Fence in the prisoners of war inside nicely built homes, have suspicious looking guards guard the gates in and out, fence up the back yards to prevent escape.
In fact I hope someone's house gets on fire and they cant escape through the back lane. After all, you decided to block off the back lane behind your house, which is a lane the public should be able to access by the way, to become your personal back yard and rubbish dump. Wash your clothes there now, throw your rubbish there, you gain a couple of inches to add to your house by locking up the back lanes like you own them.
Cordone off housing roads like you own them.. Empty oil drums make as effective as a road barriers. They aren't lighted, they aren't reflective, they're good death traps waiting to happen. Fence up and chains yourselves inside your own prison camp, thats what this has become. A big joke.
If you're so worried about your own house, go live in a proper gated community, and not turn subang into a war camp. The people who decided on building a prison around them are idiots, a menace to society. I have heard first hand stories of people getting harassed into agreeing with these projects, these people are nothing more than victims to bullies, legalized extortion by these bullies.
Why the council doesn't stop such rampant absurdness I do not understand. Why the police allow public roads to be cut off and blocked I do not understand. Why the people think they need their homes within a prison I do not understand. It is absurd, ridiculous, and it takes the lives lost before something is done.

Memories..
Memories are a blessing and a curse,
in times of trouble and problems,
faced with losing a part of one's soul,
and the blood bonds that link us as one,
memories is but a haven for the soul.
Places gone havent remembered,
Pictures taken long forgotten,
Smiles given long gone,
That very moment of happiness is a fleeting one,
through my very fingers, before my very eyes,
as memories;
as a curse.
What little I have left I try to grasp,
and what little I have left disintegrates into sand,
and slips through my fingers,
what little left I fight to preserve,
A fight that I am losing.
A soul hiding in memories,
is like a coward running away from the world,
cowering in a corner of a memory of a moment long gone,
the feeling of regret, the feeling of hope, the feeling of sadness,
all in one moment.
I sleep each night,
hoping to wake up the very next morning,
to find that it was just a bad dream,
but I sleep each night,
waking up to each day seemingly worse than the one before.
The forgotten smiles,
The forgotten moments,
The forgotten happiness,
The forgotten laughter,
The forgotten life.
Our lives have forgotten their meaning, their purpose, and most of all, their happiness. Reach back into the memories and feel what it was like then, and maybe we can bring it back to life.. before we die.

Avatar game... sucks..
I should have expected it. Almost all the games based on movies suck so bad that there are no words to describe them. Among some I've played are 007, spiderman, batman, and the latest, avatar the game. Because the movie was bloody awesome does not necessarily mean the game is good. On the contrary, the game is really crappy.
It seemed a hell alot like Far Cry 2, which I never liked in the first place. This was taking far cry 2 but making it worse a thousand times.
The Storyline
Crappy. worse than crappy. its like they rushed through the entire game to get it released while the avatar craze is still going on. It feels so rushed, the entire game becomes laughable. The cut scenes are badly made, low quality, and again, feels rushed.
Camera
Whoever was working on the camera view of your character must have been totally drunk, because driving a vehicle both in the air and on the ground in the game makes me wanna puke all over my keyboard.
Ikran
I expected flying the Ikran to be a great part of the game. It feels like a flying mount in WoW, just a thousand f*king times more difficult to control. It's like they're making the gamer's life difficult on purpose. You know how in the movie the Ikran tries to KILL you? Oh in the game they SAVE your falling ass.
Quests
The quests are barely relevant to the storyline, and the development up to what should be the most important part of the game, which is choosing between the human size or the navi side, is terrible. Plus it was like those MMORPG games where you do quest, get exp, and level up.. like.. what? level up? When do I get like T6 gear?
Dialog
I swear my eyes widen and my mouth opened in disbelief when I realized how bad the dialog script was. The best so far has to be where the head scientist CALLS YOU a NOOB. epic fail.
Animation/Graphics
The surrounding graphics was good.. That means the forests, the sky the watever was pretty good. Except that some things clearly was terrible. Riding a horse or Ikran seems absolutely stiff, and they're supposed to make a bond with one of those antenna things, which was left out in the game.
I can go on and on but I should stop. What is most important in a game like this, I feel, is its storyline and plot development. Both failed horrible in Avatar the game. Ubisoft, you let us all down with some half assed game very obviously rushed, disappointing the fans of Avatar.

Ah..
My blogging pace is anything but consistent.. One moment I can be blogging 10 posts a day (yeah rite) and other times suddenly it seemed dead.. My last blog post was posted from a hotel room in Ipoh.. I guess I had the erm.. travel around the world and blog kinda feeling.. Its nice to blog outside your own home, like on a hotel bed somewhere.. for.. reasons I cannot possible understand =.="
Oh another reason for the blog silence? this.
Oh another reason for the blog silence? this.
It glows with a holy aura.....
The next target? Starcraft 2. =D
Oh actually I do have stuff to blog about.. CNY at my grandpa's house.. with cute kids.. CNY fooood... hiking up mount everest.. more CNY parties... etc.. but I'm pretty lazy.. instead I'll show u the latest iPhone, which I will call the... iPhone N3!!! OMGITSTHEBESTESTTHINGEVER!
I aint kidding. its the iPhone N3. and its 1GB!
Its clever disguise tricks you into thinking its just a flip phone... but...
This is actually kinda cool haha..
Resembles a tablet pc somehow..
and when put properly, it actually resembles an ipod classic =.=" Seriously it shud be called the phone of disguises!
Oh gosh sleepy sleepy sleepy! Nites!

Carls Jr for lunch! Their "large coke" is large indeed.
;)
Sunway Pyramid's CNY deco.. If you look closely you can see girls getting ready, or changing if ur imagination is that wild..
Look even closer and you'll see those egyption cats with erm.. chinese.. outfit.. mascot.. of some sort. Probably summoned from another dimension.
Clouds and lanterns are EVERYWHERE.
What the hell is that pink and green thing is supposed to be? Tiger? Mouse? Pokemon?
They're finally out of the curtains and to be honest their whole performance has them standing at ONE spot without moving their legs. While they bend up and down. u know, sort of like em.. fiendish tentacles.

Blah..
I just finish watching vandread for like the 100th time but its still such a nice show.. I kinda wished someone revisited the project and made vandread season 3 or something.
It was my uncle's 50th birthday today, and we ate at Hilton KL (although it is now Crowne Plaza?). So hence I shall make a super speedy review of the place in general *laziness creeping up fast*
Pretty fanciful layout yada yada.
Out-of-Place & absolutely-not-matching furnitures.
The view from the window was far, far, from fantastic.
It had a nice Malaysian feel to the ceiling which I found I liked alot for whatever reason. Not that I had alot of chance to just stare 90 degrees upwards.
Love the um.. lights.. lantern.. too..
On to the food, pretty nice range of food, turned out to be not too bad, well, for a buffet anyway. Then again, for that price, it'd better be good.
More food yada yada.
More and more..
More more more & more..
Um.. non-descript?
OH look! prawns, mussels (i think), alien-ish looking seafood which dont look fit for human consumption - which clearly I didnt touch any of it .
*extremely bias comment* *hates seafood*
HAHA the blue cheese was described as "tastes like the armpits of a man who hasnt showered in 10 days" .. There was freaking mold on the cheese, and...
my dad likes loves it.
Clearly this isnt quite a review as it is a umm.. interior decoration inspection =.=" I had half my mind to take each dish, take a picture, and write about it.. the half mind quickly disappeared when i started my first plate..
That's all folks!

Room cleaning!
Thing you find in a room cleaning is simply priceless.. This is my study room / computer room, not quite my own room..
I found my old P sticker! Hidden in some notebook!
1.44MB. LOL.
Notice the "CHEET CODES" written on the floppy disk? I'm pretty sure I kept cheat codes on a text file there once before.
Random stuff around the room includes: VIETNAMESE HAT. authentic from vietnam. ^^
2007 Monash Calender! I do think it was the only year they were ever generous enough to give this out, or am i wrong? (since i left Malaysia campus after 2007, i dont really know)
Bon Odori fan from 2007!
And when u dig further, you'll find 1st year Monash file! ACCOUNTING A LOL!
Lecture notes on referencing! HAHA!
old, really, really old, artwork.
Money and Capital Markets LOL. Dr Tng!
Doodles in marketing lecture - obviously not paying attention.
What is marketing? nonsense?
The result of not paying attention.
"General Information Booklet"
Good ol' days. Pretty sure it didnt help in my screwed up course layout.
I even found EY training materials! ITGC lol!
More floppy disks.
Even Enron headed BOX of freaking paper! a huge box! It's all yellow already =.=
I never blog so much in my life in such a short timeframe before =.=" I'm awesome!
