Trine

Trine, a game which I've been playing for the past 3 days at Sid's place. I would give a rating of 4/5 because of it's effects, characters, and most important of all...the power of the physics machine in build in this game. Kinda enjoyed the game cause you could actually play with your friends by adding 2 more PS controllers. Well, you can use the 'USB PlayStation 2 Controller Converter' to connect the controllers to the PC. You can find these converters in most PC retail outlets.

Finished the game in 3 days. That's a total of 6 hours of game play haha. You can choose to play three different characters at a time. So if you have 3 players, you can either switch between Knight, Wizard or Thief anytime throughout the game.

Back to life...

Samsonite Repair Center at Bangsar is unable to repair my camera pouch. Damn sad. It seems that my current Samsonite pouch has a total different zip compared to the ones available in Malaysia. Below shows the two different zips:

Laptop bag from Vietnam

Camera pouch from U.S

As you can see, the first picture is the common zip available in most of our bags, pants, jeans and etc...compared to the second one. Samsonite repairmen said that they don't have the machine to repair such zips. Oh well, good riddance then. I shall get another one soon if I couldn't bear any longer with the broken zip.

Anyone needs this? XD


For all the girls out there, you'll need to learn some serious detail makeup!

Countdown 2010

It's a little late blogging about 31st of December, but I had no choice cause I was away to Frasers for 3 days right after the countdown of year 2010. It was a blast! Better than last year in fact mainly because we had the right people with the right attitude(no small groups) and no crowds! Anyways, the party started pretty early with BBQ first (lamb chops, sausages, potato salad, fruit salad, and chicken wings).

Kevin, Eugene & Sidharth


Pei Yi & Chen

Later, we slow down a little just to get to know each other. But, the process was like damn fast. Rafferty and I were like best friends on that day itself. Why?

1. We share the same jokes.
   
2. We laugh like crazy! His laugh is damn contagious
   
3. Most of the time, we were on the same channel

I still remembered the part where Chen was explaining about her Werewolf game (similar to Mafia). Rafferty and I were like adding stuffs into it HAHAHA

Rafferty: Woah got Werewolf ah? Then later can call Lycanthrope also la!
Marcus: HAHA! Then can summon 4 small werewolves?. 4 werewolves can kill 4 person la!
Rafferty: Summon Rhasta! (This is damn random). Kevin as the Serpent ward....like ROFL!!!

I was dead tired laughing at all the jokes we made. It was the best medicine to cure all forms of stress during that time. Then, we went in and played "Heart Attack!" and "Mafia". The worst part is I'm always the citizen! Moreover, I was accused of being the murderer when I get the chance to be a doctor. So, I was like screaming "Dei!!! Don't kill me la wth. I baru naik pangkat wei!!!". The best part is Rafferty died first in the first round of the game itself! Just damn hilarious. Han was trying his "Reverse Psychology" approach but failed at last haha!

The Narrator

"All Sleep"


Heart Attack!

There's one part where I did survived as a doctor. Here's the scenario:

==== Left 3 dead ====


Rafferty: All sleep. --- It should be "Citizen won!"--- Then, suddenly...Mafia Rise!
Marcus: WTF!? I was like damn shocked!
Rafferty: Mafia sleep
Rafferty: Doctor rise.
Marcus: Shytee! *Heals himself*
Rafferty: Ok, all rise. Marcus died...
Marcus: WTH!? I found out that the game ended earlier already...and they were laughing at my reactions dammit hahhaha

Review of my resolutions

Achieved:

• - Maintained pointer for first class honors
• - Endured the obstacles & challenges in UniMAP for 3 years
• - Getting to know more people. PPMS was one of it
• - Gain new experiences. Setting up R.O Server for UniMAP KKF
• - Less FFK people ahha.
• - Acne from my face

Failed:

• - To read the bible and have quiet time for myself
• - Relationship. An attempt to build the second one ended up in a failure.
• - To spend more time with family
• - Help people when they needed it
• - Words that is not put into action. Happened in a few events.

Things that I've learned:

1. Set a standard for yourself and stick to it with a strong resolve
2. Once the battle begins, finish it. Never leave it hanging or unfinished
   
3. Parents are important at all times. They mold you for who u are today
   
4. Long distance relationship is something not many are willing to sacrifice
5. Fighting for love will not bring you any further when you've already know the outcome
6. Finding someone in your life is a natural process
7. Always believe in God and have faith in your prayers
8. Forcing yourself out of a situation you're stuck into leads to a better ending
9. Love is so powerful that it blinds your judgment at times. Get rational when you're deeply in love. Twice the pride, double the fall.
10. Beware of the tongue, for it may bless or curse depending on how it is used.
11. Be a man of word. Don't make promises you can't keep
12. Don't do things for the sake of someone else. Example. If you wanna build up, then build up for yrself and not for anyone else. If not, you are portraying an image which is a lie~
13. Being kiasu once a while helps one to achieve something that is once thought impossible
14. Don't always replace your friend's time with your partner. Maintain balance in both is difficult, but it brings the best outcome. You'll know what I meant.
15. Be yourself. Change for the better little by little and not drastically.
16. Appreciate the things around you. Once gone, you'll realise how important it is...
    
17. Love yourself. Gotta love yrself first before loving others.
    
18. Physical appearance is important. If your not attracted to each other, no amount of money, love, caring, intelligence, or respect will change that and will eventually lead to heartbreak.

Amelia's Birthday Party

Potluck @ Pek Yee's hse

Blessed Christmas

Blogging about Christmas when its already 3 days old might sound a lil outdated, but yeah I'll just highlight a few stuff that's happening in my life.

1. Went out with my parents for Seafood and Escapade, Mentari later. Gosh, Escapade like orang tua punya tempat. No young chicks...sadness! Lucky got freebies to play with ahhaaha
2. Lepak with Ying Wai, Yew Ken, Vivek, Ping Ying, and some other friends at Sunway on Christmas day. Played pool at the hotel. Pretty good spot if you know what I meant. Watched Sherlock Homes around 4.30pm. The movie is great. This Robert Downey Jr. looks as if he knows everything. From weapons of mass destruction to investigation...
   
3. 23rd Dec - Hang out with Alyssa & Cindy. Went down to Desa Park City, Damansara since they've never been there before. Will be missing u Alyssa. Take care and God bless ya in U.S

That's me, Yew Ken & Ronggen

Few more days and we're off to year 2010. Any last words for year 2009?

Naili's Place

Went down to Damansara to pick up the cheerleaders, Ms Jojo & Sheryll. They wanted to go some other place other than their usual mamak, Al-Safa. If you stumble into their profiles, you'll realise it's always Safa Safa Safa...damn. Like promoting the mamak place at some point. You should be paid! Anyways, we decided to lepak in Taipan. I wouldn't choose this Naili's place for now because their freaking service sucks like shyte. Looks as if we don't need to give them business =.='''

Played some game called "I never...". Haha, it's a pretty cool game. Here's how you play it. Select one thing you've never done before. Example:

Marcus: I've never fingered myself before...

So for the rest of the people around the table, if you happen to have done it before...drink! It reveals secrets! Just darn funny looking at their expressions when they kena *KANTOI!!!*

Tenji Vs Jogoya

Tasted both Jogoya & Tenji for the past 2 days already. Here's a little review about the two japanese buffet restaurants. First and foremost, I'll list down the food which is served by both restaurtants and are equally good.

1. Cod fish. There's no denial to it. You'll have to wait for it and it's really delicious
2. Fresh oysters. Both restaurants served fresh oysters and there isn't much difference in it
3. Lamb shoulders. Grilled to perfection. Both equally good!
4. Salmon. All kinds of salmon. They are fresh and worth the eat-all-you-can thingy.
5. Fragrance coconut. You cannot afford to miss this alright :)
6. Italian food. Can't live without spaghetti? Here is it!
7. Chocolate fountain. You PMS-ers...you'll gonna love this haha!
   

So now, which is better? Jogoya or Tenji. As for me, I vote Jogoya in regardless of the VIP meals that I had. Jogoya's turnover for the fragrance coconut is really fast. Once the stock is out, they bring in more as soon as they can. If you asked whether I love Baskin Robbins/Haagen Dazs, Haagen Dazs would be my choice. It is less sweet and much more rich in flavour compared to Baskin. Jogoya's Haagen Dazs has much more variety compared to Tenji. They serve you with lots of flavours and damn...they are fast. You don't even hafta wait to scoop yourself a cup of ice-cream like it is in Tenji.

When it comes to seafood, Jogoya did well in the sense that they had most of the seafood served by Tenji. What more? Jogoya serve Dim Sum, Chinese Herbal Soup and lots more such as the red snapper. They won an extra point by serving abalone & unagi. Moreover, their steam crab is better compared to Tenji's. What I saw in Tenji's steam crab is that they didn't remove the gills (do read the side effects of the gills online).

What about the desserts? I didn't really taste them cos I was so busy with the exotic food in both restaurants. Don't tell me you're gonna fill up yrself with fruits and fresh vegetables when you can do it some other time. But I did taste the cocktails. Tenji won in this section mainly because of their Blue Martini. Drink a few more cups and go HIGH!

In conclusion, this review is based only on my opinions for the past 2 days visiting these restaurants. Both Japanese buffet restaurants are competing with each other. If you plan to try it, do it now as they are offering Christmas promotions. Price range will be around RM67 (2 pax) for Tenji and RM49 (2 pax) for Jogoya. I believe there are days where Tenji's food is better than Jogoya's and vice versa. But for now, I vote Jogoya!
