Gaming Season

Life is being wasted again day after day. The current craze of the KLIA team would be hanging out at the cybercafes here and drooling over hot China and Korean babes studying at INTI Nilai.

Yea, as much as I was critisizing Dota, I am back at the game again, this time cursing and swearing at my fellow colleagues for being noobs. Still at training stage at the moment and haven't started challenging other gamers there. Getting sick of the AIs and can't wait to start challenging the human race. This phase of life kinda reminds me of the good old days of University, spending most of our times playing LAN games and frequently hearing Laurent swear from the other room.

Sigh.

Good old days.

Frozen Yoghurt

Frozen yoghurt. Read about it in some health magazine and I couldn't wait to try it out. No, I'm not trying to be health conscious and I am not trying to make my snacks healthy as well. I just love yoghurt. So, I got this extra creamy and extra fruit yoghurt and chucked it into the freezer.

Well, about the outcome, it didn't turn out as expected. I was expecting it to be something like ice cream, but it ended up like eating hard flavored ice. A waste of good yoghurt I would say. It no longer had the nice creamy feel that brings you back for more.

I also ended up shitting my ass out for half an hour, though I don't think that is related to the frozen yoghurt.

Anyway, next plans in list: Frozen grapes and frozen yoghurt (as recommended by some friend who says it's good~!)

Got a feeling I'm gonna die young from poisoning.





Banzai Japan~!

I managed to survive my biggest bet so far. It was the most tiring and nerve wreaking game ever. It was the Crotia - Japan game where I took Japan with a handicap of 3/4 ball. Ninety minutes seemed like forever, seeing the Crotians attack aggresively and the Japs playing like pussies. The only Japanese on the field whom I'd salute that night would be Kawaguchi who did a brilliant penalty save. But even he gave me a scare when he missed a slow pass from his team mate, which rolled out for a corner. If that ball rolled into the net, my room would be filled with Kawaguchi voodoo dolls.

Anyway, it was one hell of a lousy match. It was only the money that kept the adrenalin pumping. I'd always wanted to cheer for Japan, but after last night, I guess that they kinda suck.

But, they did manage to defend their net to the end, so Banzai~!!!

Butternutsquash

Was clicking around on links and I came upon this online comic, Butternutsquash, and I love it. Fantastic art, beautifully colored and great scripts.



Good stuff~!

Water looters

A colleague and I had been branded as water looters.

Well, was based at another office for a couple of weeks sometime last month where there was no water supply at all there. So, I didn't see the difference between taking a bottle of water per day and 7 bottles per week. The only difference maybe would be that taking 7 bottles of water at one time is a bit too damn obvious.

Maybe I should now change my blog name to GWL: Escapades of the great water looter...




My post got published in a book~!

Remember the post on my Langkawi trip somewhere last year? Well, there was a comment there asking if it was okay to publish my post on Langkawi on his book. What the heck, I thought and said okay.

Was slacking at office just now and was browsing through my junk mail when I thought one of the sender sounded kinda familiar. It was the guy again, who have now published the book, and he sent me the softcopy version as promised before. It was quite a pleasant suprise when I had totally forgotten about the whole incident.
























Title and cover of the book

The book can also be purchased online.

Well, its no big deal, but it is something that doesnt happen everyday i guess. Plus, he also published the part where the kiwi was trying to run away from the shark.

GLutton trip

Saturday was a road trip in search for food. We (a couple of colleagues and me) went to some Muar restaurant famous for its snakeheads. For those of you who think that a snakehead is a snake, well, it is not. It’s a freaking fish, better known as Haruan locally.

The restaurant was also famous for exotic food such as crocodile and bat meat. Too my disappointment, they didn’t have any of them for that day. After all the talk that crocodile meat was the best and stuff, I felt rather disappointed. So close, yet so far. Anyway, we ended up with some normal dishes like braised terrapin, black peppered frog, white peppered crabs, yam ring stuffed with sweet and sour ribs, deep fried snakehead and snakehead soup.

It was a pretty heavy dinner not mentioning my late lunch consisting of nasi kandar and durians.

After that, drove on to Malacca for more satay celup. Ate till we were at the verge of puking. Imagine all the heaty shit that we consumed for the day. It was no surprise when my body felt as if I was burning the next morning.

Oh, I have a new record as well. I am now 108 kilos.

Sigh.




World Cup Day#1

There are times when the heart can predict or sense an outcome. I mentioned earlier in the previous post that I’d follow my heart and bet on Germany. I lost the mind game within myself and decided to betray my heart by taking Costa Rica and ended up picking Costa with a one-and-three-quarter handicap.

All was going fine where the score was now held at 3-2 to Germany with 10 minutes on the clock. I was happily enjoying my beer + stout when suddenly at the 85th minute of the game, a fucking German (I can’t remember his name) blasted a powerful shot into the upper right corner of the net. Final score: 4-2 Germany’s win.

I never finished my drink.

I guess I’d never really liked stout mixed with beer.

The next match was Poland versus Ecuador. Poland gave Ecuador a half ball handicap and I happily picked Poland predicting a nice 1-0 win over Ecuador.

Ecuador scored first.

I went to sleep.

Final Score: Ecuador 2 – Poland 0

Ignorance is bliss.

I slept like a baby.

Let the fever rock on~!!

Finally, the wait for the most anticipated event in the world, World Cup 2006 has ended. Tonight, or rather tomorrow midnight (Malaysian Time), all football fans and enthusiast will gather in front of the stupid box or some projected screen to witness the opening match between Germany and Costa Rica, while the rest of the world will be thinking what's the big hoo-haa about 20 people chasing after a single ball.

It is also the season where people get their big bonus and also a good season where people commit suicides. This is where my investment for my early retirement at the age of 23 comes in. Well, either that or I might accidentally slip on the floor and fall off 30 story building.

Germany let Costa Rica 1 1/4 balls.

With my zero research and follow my heart style, I'm believe that Germany should be able to at least score two balls. Definitely.

But then again, I can't even name more than 3 German players.

Costa Rica have more white players than black right?

Right?





I need water~!!

As usual, this morning was just like any other morning. After 5 snoozes, I had to drag myself to bathroom for a cold shower to shock myself awake. Turned on the shower and waited.

Drip.

I waited.

Drip.

What the fuck~! This is the second time that there's no water at the fucking hostel. Just as I was starting to feel at home, some shit happens. The last time there was no water, it was for 3-4 days. Meaning no shitting, no pissing, no bathing, no washing activity at all till the water supply is back on.

Return me my precious water~!!!!!

Polluted

Help.

I really need professional help.

My mind has been tarnished way beyond hope and in a way, it is affecting my work over here.

Over here we have communicate a lot through phone and we usually have to inform of printer addresses and stuff. So, we usually use the standard alphabet codes to make it clear over the phone. The normal standard codes would be Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta to define A, B, C and D. You get my point.

The reason I'm writing all this shit is because I just came back from a case where I had to spell out E21TNV48.

"England-21-Tango-Norway- ..."

I stopped at V. I tried thinking of something that started with V.

Vagina,Vagina,Vagina,Vagina,Vagina,Vagina,Vagina,Vagina,Vagina...

My filthy mind was just flooded by that word. And there was no other word I could think of.

"England-21-Tango-Norway- V -48. Yes, the letter V."

Sigh.

Help.

Owning...

It's been quite a while since I last stepped into a cyber cafe. Still quite the same usual scene there I guess. Countless people living their cool roles as warriors, mages and orcs bashing up baboon looking creatures in a world with breath taking environments, and not realizing that they were just bashing up baboons.

Well, of course that is just my biased opinion as I have never played an online game before. Guess I was going against my own principles of never critisizing something unless you've tried it before.

Anyway, a friend dragged me along for some rounds of DOTA. Its been about a year since I actually played Dota and the people playing it haven't seem to evolve at all during this one year.

Asshole: That MJ character is a fucking no0B~!!
Asshole: See what kinda items that bastard got~!!
Asshole: Sorry guys. Im leaving. That MJ character is a bloody no0B.
Asshole: Fuck you no0B~!!!
Asshole leaves the game.


My friend and I are noobs. Yea sure, but then we carried on and we actually won the game, thanks to the other two pro players. Could never understand this mentality of gamers up till this day.

Or maybe I'm just a noob who doesnt understand the seriousness of the game.
