Vacation Eve

Finally, tomorrow night, I'll begin my vacation. A 16 days vacation (inclusive of annual leave, weekends and public holidays). Wonder what am I gonna do for half a month. Wont really call it a vacation, since I dont have any plans to begin with. Guess its those typical vacation where I just stay at home and get fat and bored. Hope to finish all my RPG games by then.

Well, lets see what I have been up to lately. I had been wasting my time again being engrossed with some shoujo manga titled Ichigo 100%. Addictive but always give me the impression that I'm wasting my life again. Well, had this feeling too many times already. And still not doing anything about it, so not gonna give a fuck about it. Aih~!

Last night, we went to this new pay pond. Yea, I am still going night fishing eventhough it seems like a bloody waste of time not catching anything worth mentioning. But yesterday, we felt like real anglers. At least my colleague, Azlan, felt like one. He caught a pretty decent game fish during the last seconds of our trip.

We also found out later that the pond offered some jackpot fishing prize. All you have to do is catch a fish weighing 8kg and above, and you'll win RM500 bucks in cash + the snowballed money. Sounds easy huh? Well, I already have ideas of stuffing a caught fish with stones and heavy stuff to make it 8 kg. If that works, I guess I will be quitting my job and start my profession as a full time angler cum conman.

Alright guys~! Happy holidays~! And Happy Chinese New Year~!

Night fishing

Went fishing after work the other day, and the sudden thought of night fishing came up. Being one with my thoughts, I ended up buying necessary stuff like torch light, and more fishing equiptments for fishing later that night. My colleague Azlan provided a packet of Gudang Garam for mosquito repellant.

It seemed so much noisier at night. The sounds of the insects could be heard as if they were amplified through a loud speaker and the sounds of cars passing by was really noticable. Wonder if it is because the surrounding was too quiet that everything else became loud. Ironic or maybe its just my idiotic thinking.

The night was beautiful that day, studded with stars and litted by a full moon. Reflection of the moon could be seen on the surface of the pond while the gentle wind send gentle ripples on the water. The cool weather made it even more relaxing and I wished that the moment would last.

Back to my fishing. Caught shit that night. Fuck those guys who boast about fishing at night.

I suck at games

I just realized that I have stopped blogging and checking blogs for two weeks or more. Checked the comments and found out that some of my fans had still been checking consistently. Would like to sincerely apologise to them. Muahaha. Gotten a bit full of myself lately.

Anyway, no prize for guessing what I have been doing lately. Even spent my weekends back at hostel quietly without a complain. Basically thrashed my whole room with dirty clothes, computer boxes, DVDs, magazines and almost everything I could get my hand on. Didnt expect a console to mess up my life. I would hide under my comforter while bashing on the gamepad for hours and I am starting to lack sleep and all.

Sounds like Im having fun? Not really. Read on.

Had been jumping from game to game instead of focusing on one game. Currently playing God Of War, Final Fantasy X-2, Grand Turismo 4, Devil Kings, and Soul Calibre 3.

God of War
----------------------------------------------------------

 

A pretty good game I would say. Very stylish fighting, lots of action and upgrading of character throughout the game. Not much complains on this game as it was quite simple. The only thing was I died like one hour straight at the same place while trying to jump from pillar to pillar. Almost gave up when I learnt the double jump. Sigh~! By that time, I ve already died so many times and made the mighty Kratos (the character I was using) look like a pussy and I needed a change of game play.

Final Fantasy X-2
----------------------------------------------------------

 

After making Kratos look like a pussy, it was time for pussy game where FFX-2 comes to the picture where you play 3 pussies. It felt like I was playing FFX again where I travel the same maps and meet the same people. Bad enough I pretty hated FFX and now they are trying to make it up by using some CG babes. This version of FF uses the worst gaming system in the history of Final Fantasy. There is no limit breaks, no GFs and only 3 characters. Playing a dressing up game with those 3 gals wasnt too fun as they become repetitive, irritating and annoying. Besides that, those bitches keep getting raped by normal creeps. First time Im dying so often in a Final Fantasy series.

Grand Turismo 4
-----------------------------------------------------------



This was the worst. Its either my driving skills really suck or I am only meant to ride a bike. Had been trying for days to pass the first license test where you are supposed to accelerate and brake on time. Sounds simple, yea, I still havent passed it. And during the arcade version, I am getting overlapped by AIs. Aih.

Devil Kings
-----------------------------------------------------------

 

Just bought the game recently when I was standing outside a game shop that had that game on display. From the creators of Devil May Cry and ...something, I forgot what, it seemed to be quite a nice game. One man army cutting through thousands of soldiers like Japanese Tofu. There's 6 characters to choose from and everyone of them had their own gaya moves. However, I managed to try all 6 of them coz whenever you die, you have to start from the beginning again, and I kept dying at the end of the level. Maybe I should try playing easy instead of normal.

Soul Calibre 3
-----------------------------------------------------------



Got attracted to this game after thrashing Marve at the arcade. This game offers nice attacking moves and blood chilling combos. Much nicer combos than KOF I will say. Too bad the combos are executed by the AI on myself. This system implements the button tapping moves like Tekken instead of the KOF control style. Always get stuck at some level of the story mode and kept dying for hours. Nobody likes losing and it was really demoralising and depressing.

Alright. Thats the game reviews for the games Im currently busy with lately. It is no longer fun. Sniff. Maybe I should start playing those Mahjong or card games where the gal strips after I win.

2006

Woke up sometime around noon on the first day of New Year. Plan-less and not wanting to waste the day, I took my sweater and started on a journey without a destination. Was enjoying the sun and wind and called up a couple of friends along the way. Everyone seemed to have their own plan. Damn. Continued my journey and passed Midvalley. The jam there was terrible as usual so I carried on. Finally decided suddenly that I would get a PS2 at Sungai Wang. The jam was really an terrible and even I, on my bike, was stuck there for quite some time.

Sg. Wang was so packed with people that it was at the verge of exploding. People walked shoulder to shoulder and there I was thinking that countdown crowds were dumb. I've never liked Sg Wang for this reason. Almost died there of suffocation. Ended up sipping tea at a tea house reading my novel.

Ended up doing that the whole day, only changing drinking spots. Finally got bored, bought the stuff and went home only to get caught in the ever heavy rain. What a way to start the new year.
