When I'm... (For this year)

2006-02-06T01:52:00.000+08:00

(On MSN)
Online => Online.
Busy => Most probably gaming. Else I'll display what I'm doing currently.
Be Right Back => 10% chance that I'm still watching the screen.
Away => When I do not want to reply to people's conversation.
On The Phone => Please call me if someone just received a stab in the back.
Out To Lunch => Munching on food near my computer screen.
Appears Offline => How would you know if I feign 'offline'?

(Chatting over the MSN)
"..." => Want to say something, but decided not to due to many factors taken into consideration. Usually followed by "Nothing."
"Nothing." => Hiding something.
"AFS" => Away from screen. Most likely, warming up my PlayStation2.
"Nvm" => When I want to put a premature end to a subject during conversation.
"Anyways..." => Changing the subject. Followed by some nonsensical questions from me.

Wait... I think there's more. Will update whenever I find somemore.

Plans for the next few days. (or so)

The most useless thing here on this site has been transformed into something useful. Finally.

Anyways, from now onwards,

That site will contain everything about gaming, cars, and my much-delayed "How to slack without someone noticing" which will be classified under a certain website in a certain category as "NSFW"

This site will contain (or rather force to) all my complains, school life, attachment life (soon), army life (not so soon) and...

Personal life.

You wish.

Complain.

Can't view video clips.
Can't listen to audio clips.

As a result, it feels like good 'ol 28.8K era (athought our school has a high-speed 802.11g Wireless) without the functionality of the above which is l~a~m~e~ given that high-speed broadband was born due to demands of high-quality, high-speed, audio and video streaming.

With our school internet access only able to surf 'student-friendly' sites and email servers, the school might as well gives us back the good 'ol telephone wires to plug in and connect to external ISPs to use the internet like a snail (56K).

However, if i remembered correctly, Pacific Internet's going to launch an island-wide wireless access (what they call: the WAN) sometime this year. If my Year 3 Semester 1 haven't end (for your information: I'm in the study programme first before going for the attachment program), I can say good-bye to our school wireless server. Hah.

This was done when I could not connect to any of the BBC streaming video to watch when I had nothing to do during a particular class. This is not an official complain (the official version WILL come soon) though, just an opinion from me.

Gran Turismo 4. (Yet Again)

2006-02-03T00:59:00.000+08:00

My thoughts on that game after some days of rather intensive playing on my part minus the steering wheel (and the subwoofer).

Thoughts (based on drivetrain):
FF - Well, it's better compared to half a year ago.
Current Car:
Honda Integra Type-R

FR - I hate FR cars with Turbochargers. No idea.
Current Car:
Nissan Silvia Ks 2000cc

4WD - Best in straights. Very good in the corners too due to my rather un-honed style of racing in an electronic game.
Current Car:
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

MR - I'm stuck with a slow, lousy and has a current 133BHP mid-ship, rear-wheel drive car. (for now, since i smell a NSX not too far off.)
Current Car:
Toyota MR2 1600 G

Nope, it's not an advertisement to promote a game but, this game gives the thrills of driving in our sofas without worrying about G-Force when driving an actual car. And in my humble opinion since I've played:-

- Gran Turismo 1/2/3
- Need for Speed 2/3:HP/HS/PU/HP2/U/U2/MW
- Initial D Arcade/Special Stage
- Daytona USA 1/2

From a humble Toyota Corolla, a frightening Pagani Zonda of Gran Turismo World to, the legendary Lamborghini Countach/Diablo/Murciélago of the Need for Speed Series, to the insanely un-real Initial D and lastly the insanely "Win-by-powersliding-your-way-through-at-more-than-260khp" Daytona, I strongly feel that, (if you haven't own a set of PlayStation, get 1 now.) Gran Turismo is the best car-racing games of all times. Not even the underground-style street racing (which amuse me to no end when I force a police car to the wall) of the Need for Speed comes close.

But, if you ask me which game I'm very good at. I would say,

The Need for Speed Series. 100% no (and again, no) idea why.

Time check, it's 1.30am Friday now and to sign it off a

Zzz

would do us no harm.

Gran Turismo 4. (Again)

2006-02-02T00:19:00.000+08:00

First of all, this has no relation to the Top Gear video I watched a while ago, and absolutely no relation to my ICA which will commence exactly after my sleep 14 hours later. Oh, before I forget.

The following screenshots are mega for a old, and slow 56K modem, just like a Toyota Corolla AE85 or AE86 for that matter. [No Initial D fanatics flaming thank you very much.] However, this was done during a rather unforgiving hour into the night for most. (Without the effect from my subwoofer which in fact was rather un-AeroFlare to say the most) And to quote, "It's a Sony" + (PlayStation).

Laguna Seca Raceway
Honda NSX Type-R (2002)
295BHP
No tuning or what-so-ever. Only changes are the disabling of the stability control.

Time:
1'41.874 (Lap 1)
1'41.574 (Lap 2)
1'42.047 (Lap 3)

Screenshots:

Close-up of the NSX Type-R

Maneuvering carefully through the hardest corner on this circuit

Some reckless driving by my own standard when playing racing games. These styles ain't like me...!!!

Afterthought: Mess around with the last lap a little with some crazy stuffs like power-sliding my way through, taking shortcuts etc.

One complain though, when I was playing at the Nürburgring with the same car a while ago. When i reached the last straight, engages the 6th gear, suddenly, the car accelerates at a snail pace. [for your information, I was doing at around 250+kph which was, erm, hard to control during cornering and braking.]

Other than that, well... gonna study for yet another ICA tomorrow. Bye.

P.S.: Ooops i forgot a screenshot of my game car as promised... er... a few posts back ???

Edit: Change some words which is quite noobish and there are still some of those left.

Gran Turismo 4.

2006-01-28T00:30:00.000+08:00

Nothing to do since I've done what I should do and there's no game of DotA so I on my PlayStation for some racing fix.

But...

Pop, in goes my Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2. But somehow, my PlayStation doesn't seems to like me and my disc so I tried for 10 minutes or so trying to run it.

Decided to play Gran Turismo 4 after much hesitating on which game to play. And it's between:-

Star Ocean: Till the End of Time (4D Mode)
[Yes and I still haven't defeat Albel.]

Gran Turismo 4
[After losing my previous precious data to corrupted memory card]
[To Sony: Please include that hard disk in PlayStation 3. Thanks. Hah.]

Need for Speed: Most Wanted
[Much to my brother's disapproval since he doesn't want me to complete the game before he does.]

So after playing 2 hours of Gran Turismo 4,
[and ignore my MSN nickname, that's just to show off. Hah.]

First car: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GSR
Second car: Autobianchi A112 Abarth
[sold!]
Third car: Toyota Motor Triathlon Race Car
[can't sold! 'cause it would only sell for 0!]

Current car configuration: (Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GSR)
Racing Chip
Turbo Stage I
Racing Intercooler
Lightweight Stage I
Racing Flywheel
Horsepower: 323BHP
Screenshot: Coming Soon. I think.

Gameplay-wise, gonna save up for a Honda NSX-R.
[well, that's one car I would like to drive in my life other than the Lamborghini Murciélago and Pagani Zonda C12S]

You must be getting sick of my game/car talk by now. Well other than gaming which is dominating my life right now, I'm actually.........

Anyways, Happy Chinese New Year one day advance. Hah. Don't think I'll blog tomorrow. So must make use of this opportunity to wish everyone first.

Hmm... what else... ermmmmmmmmmm...

ermmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

oh ya! I have forgotten about this already.

And it's...

Nightmare.

2006-01-25T00:45:00.000+08:00

Slept at around 8.30pm because I was too tired but it got cut short at 11.30pm all because of a nightmare. Detail-wise, will post if I want to post.

Anyways, congratulation to Ian for passing his test. Haha. Hope to see you more in Yishun in a car. HAH.

4 more days to Chinese New Year. It's so boring. Tsk. Maybe it's me, but I'm sure don't like going to places during festive seasons with TONS of people.

[Example: Orchard Road]

Those places seriously bore me out. 'Cept when I'm hanging out with my usual group of people.

[Edit: Sorry. Didn't notice I was typing a '2-sentence paragraph' Must be my bad habit of writing from secondary school are coming back]

Speaking of secondary school, this friday I'm gonna sacrifice my attendance rate for Software Engineering Practices for a pop-by at Canberra. I think I haven't go there for quite some time already. Hope can see some familiar faces when I do go there. Hah.

Anyways, gotta do some baka-style task. And that is,...

Don't sleep, play games.
Don't sleep, coding frenzy.
Don't sleep, hang my computer.

Haiz. (Or Sigh If You Like)

2006-01-24T11:06:00.000+08:00

In the tutorial class for Marketing Research now. 3 Baka on my 6 o'clock (Eng Sheng), 7 o'clock(Faizal) and 5 o'clock(Soon Poh) are playing DotA using the files from this computer name called SBMB511-R06.

Zzz

Tomorrow gonna go to Hereen's HMV to get Ayumi Hamasaki's album (miss)understood after deeming it worthy of my purchase after listening to some online radio stations. And going to Bugis Street[?] to get my new year clothings...

[Once again...]

Zzz

Briefly summarize what the content was...

[damn blogspot for eating up my post...]

- watching BLEACH Episode 65 tonight if i haven't fall asleep and the raw has been released.
- my irregular sleeping time has returned !!! ._.!

Hmm that's about it...

Ja ne...

Hello Again.

2006-01-21T20:41:00.000+08:00

It's time for the ranting session bought to your by AeroFlare™ courtesy of his free time.

Today's alright, i guess. (I should have sleep early last night). Went out with Byran, Michelle, Shirleen and Audrey + her brother for a morning breakfast at Ya Kun Northpoint. (As expected, Bryan was late but luckily this time round, he's not the last one to come.)

Walked around Northpoint, took some neoprints and then proceed to the arcade. Let's see, bryan lost to me in strength (guess he's will be going gym more frequently... haha or he 放水... and in typical bryan-ness, he would choose the latter)

Daytona USA next, finally found my match in this game or i was too in 放水 mode. We were all driving so aggressive that sometimes I dare not step on the gas when i reach the straightways. Anyways, Bryan came out 1st and me 2nd on both (Beginner) round.

House of the Dead 4, Bishi-Bashi Champ were some of the games we played.

Helped out at the last day of NYP Open House. Can say it was fun, maybe because I talked more today. Haha. Anyways, had dinner at Mos Burger later and...

...

...

...

Here I am... doing nothing but blogging. Plus...

"Prelude to light-speed coding frenzy"

Unbelievable.

2006-01-15T23:24:00.000+08:00

How much work I can do in just 2(3) days. Seriously the amount of output is scary.

Will not be blogging as 'frequently' as before due to project commitment (and after it, examination preparation). So I'll blog whenever I 'feel' that I have nothing else to do or something interesting happened.

- The only allowed spammer on my tagboard is Sp. So if you bear any grudges against Sp, please use his nickname to spam my tagboard so that I can spam him too.

- Mobile Application Development was way to hard. Especially the RMS part.

- OMG! Someone wanted to use my laptop to watch idol drama!

- I need to know myself more.

- Still clueless about the ITIPJ and XML Assignments.

- Thinking of adding a site counter to this weblog 'o mine. And a IP Log to go with it.

- Relocate my weblog.

and lastly,

- Declare war on those who disturb my concentration during my practical test

Let's see.

2006-01-09T21:47:00.000+08:00

Everything is going according to what I had in mind. No worry. No fuss. No confusion. Everything will be done soon. And with it, everything shall end.

Below is the ending theme to a new anime called "Fate/Stay Night" which I somehow chanced upon it "accidentally". Thought the song is nice so I've uploaded a sample.

Silkroad Online

2006-01-06T14:01:00.000+08:00

Officially taking a break until I purchase a card that can support SilkRoad Online without bringing problems to my normal desktop environment with issues like DirectX compatibility issues etc.

At school now, without sleep last night, really feels like rushing home now and take a long deep sleep (without nudges in MSN calling for me to DotA).

For my graphics card, I'll most likely get the Asus GeForce 6200 equivalent card (N6200GE/TD or something) which will set me back for another $100 for this coming chinese new year.

1st week of 2006 is gonna pass by soon.

- ITIPJ Coding commencing soon
- XML Coding to be commenced at the same time as ITIPJ Coding Development
- Study for Software Engineering Practices and Mobile Application Development Practical Test
- Plans to do on next Tuesday which is a Public Holiday
- Visit gyms (although I have a hunch that I'll skip just this first week)

Gotta go, damn boring. Wanna sleep but can't.

P.S.:
4 more days to BLEACH 1-hour Special Episode ^o^v

Graphics Card

2006-01-06T00:42:00.000+08:00

Current:
Inno3D GeForce4 MX440-SE 64-bit 250/166MhZ (DirectX 7)
[AeroFlare's Comment: Gosh~~~! It's so screaming for a upgrade]

Interests:
Leadtek A6200 TDH 64-bit 350/250MhZ (GeForce 6200 / DirectX 9.0c)
Price: ~SGD$122

Asus V9570GE/TD 128-bit 250/400MhZ (GeForce FX5700LE / DirectX 9.0)
Price: ~SGD$99 - 119

Asus N6200GE/TD 128-bit 300/550MhZ (GeForce 6200 / DirectX 9.0c)
Price: ~SGD$98

My hunch was right.

2006-01-05T16:05:00.000+08:00

This sure is a long week. With time passing at a snail pace, I wish Friday would come soon so that I can...

- Start coding for the ITIPJ which is long overdue
- Sleep more [I've been capping myself 5-hour of sleep everyday]
- Re-plan my budget after making a catastrophic calculation error which leaves me broke for the remainder of this month
- Tour Sim Lim Square to find information on a GeForce4 FX5600 Ultra Card or better
- Spam Ian's tagboard
- With respect to my new year resolution, start to prepare for ICAs for Mobile Application Development and Software Engineering Practices next Wednesday and Friday respectively

Anyways, about that Business Communication 3 Interview ICA, it was quite easy even though I did not adequately prepared myself well.

Gotta go, my leader a.k.a. Hao Qi Bao Bao (in Chinese) is making lots of noise (i.e. singing out of tune) to make me do work.

Indescribable Boredom

2006-01-02T10:45:00.000+08:00

School's gonna start tomorrow...

and I've a hunch that this week will be a long week

Pardon my short posts of late, I'm currently lacking of some writing cells.

*Edit* Correct some very severe spelling errors due to the state of mind I was in back then. *End Edit*

For all you car fanatics...

2006-01-01T03:22:00.000+08:00

New Year

2006-01-01T01:38:00.000+08:00

Changed the theme song in anticipation of the new year.

The New Year, 2006. The year which is good for:

- Watching FIFA World Cup Germany 2006 [What else...?]
- Starting anew [How many times have I started anew every year.]
- Smile more [I remembered. Someone told me to smile more.]
- *Import* My Incomplete New Year Resolution List *End Import*
- Buying more non-japanese artist albums or singles.
- Renewing my interests in automobile
- Quarrelling more with my brother and mother and father and... Just kidding
- PHASE 1 of my ULTIMATE Home Entertainment System [Sure hope I can get PHASE 1 up and running by 2007 before I go off for a 2-year National Service]
- ********************************************************************************

*MSN Mode ON* |-) *MSN Mode Off*

With this Jian Hong already deeply embedded inside me. I wonder is this the real Jian Hong. Nah. I could be thinking too much. Those who find these words, just take it as a sleep talk.

New Year Resolution (finally)

2005-12-29T17:53:00.000+08:00

1) I want to study more and play less games.

2) *still trying to figure it out*

Ministry of Sound

2005-12-29T17:44:00.000+08:00

Visited there yesterday with...

- Bryan (the same Byran in 06 case you didn't know), Cornelia, Andrew & ???
[i can't seems to remember her name, but basically this make up my secondary school friends group]
- Ivan, Ian, Faizal, Soon Poh, Tony, Eng Sheng

I think, given time, I can like that place but for now, nah. The music that MOS dished out, ain't bad but also at the same time, not loud. Plus, the bass was quickening my feeling of hunger.

[if you want to know more, visit here.]

Anyways, we queued for 3 hours, played for 3 hours (labelled by Ian as pathetic) and went to some coffeeshop near Raffles Place MRT Station to have coffee (while the rest excluding Bryan's Group had Fishball Noodle for breakfast)

Just to cap it off, there will be a class gathering coming tomorrow at Bobby's place. Interested, just show your face at Toa Payoh MRT Station tomorrow at selected time. Thanks you very much.

old memories into the ancient history book...

and at the same time...

guess i'll bring back the old "Jian Hong"

- really blur like sotong [sorry but it's singlish...]
- with a attitude-problem [you can translate it as guai lan...]
- like to be alone [the less people the merrier...]

XD

Whoops

2005-12-12T09:13:00.000+08:00

i think i had just killed off my Mobile Application Development ICA.

- live from D.424 [Computer Labortary to Mobile Application Development every Monday 8am]

*edited*

O/S was sooo easy !!! heh

[what if i get a C for that... >.<]

What AeroFlare does when he tries to go out during a rainy day...

2005-12-10T16:20:00.000+08:00

- Leave my umbrella at home
- Find a route that does not involve carrying an umbrella even if it results in a detour

[fortunately in Singapore, there are lots of way to go from Point A to Point B]

*or*

- Don't go out at all

Why i'm posting something like this ???

Cause it's raining at this moment...

That's all...

Finally...

2005-12-09T18:38:00.000+08:00

another week had passed...

and...

i butchered yet another ICA...

[boo!]

Software Engineering Practices

didn't want to comment... much...
on the presentation for IT Innovation Project

[something like Ivan after the presentation... but much better.]

anyways...

next up on the chopping board...

- Mobile Application Development
- Operating Systems

and what's the highlight of these ?

<It's all on Monday!>

[I'm gonna hate Monday soon]

Worst Weekend and Worst Start to a week...

2005-12-06T22:34:00.000+08:00

2005-12-02T22:38:00.000+08:00

up until now... 0 has claim to know the real 'Jian Hong'... well perhaps with some being the exceptions... bleah!

and i'm proud of it... period

people who knows bits and pieces of me...

erm...

people that i have hang out with...?

lols...

sometimes... there a lingering feeling that i don't really belong to that group of people...

and i'm not naming anyone here...

*MIA Mode ON!*

Yawnz~~~

2005-12-02T15:52:00.000+08:00

and so... the fourth week had passed...

and the preparation for next week presentation will begin...

3 more weeks to term break... ^^v

we either have

- go Sentosa on New Year Eve?
- go Orchard on Christmas?
- go X-Square?
- go LAN gaming place?
- slacking at home?
- project...project...project...[fortunately our leader is not the studious type...]
- insert your rubbish here

so far... i think this semester hurdles are...

- Operating System... [too much theory... and that's my weakness]
- Business Communication III... [given my character... passing this module would be hard...]
- Introduction to Market Research... [all Business modules seem hard to me...]
- XML Web Services... [butchered the 1st ICA... will have to work hard for the rest...]
- Software Engineering Practices... [same as O/S...]

5/7 modules that i predict that i would have trouble with... and it's...

bad!!!

argh... better convert myself to the studious type soon...

but...

it's not possible...

with my PC staring at me... my PS2 sitting beside my PC... a TV beside my PS2... a PS beside my TV... and within my sight range... my old PC...

and people like insert your name here keep pressing me to play either Silkroad Online or DotA...

bleah!

Random thoughts...

2005-11-26T00:23:00.000+08:00

Some very random things from my head... since i got nothing to do and blog...

Silkroad Online
Still at level 14 (72%)

StarCraft: Brood War
Replaying as Protoss [and i hate Zerg Lurker for its burrow strike.]

WarCraft III: Frozen Throne
Replaying as Night Elves

DotA
'quit' for a few days but returned to the game... again. Training Treant Protector

Counter-Strike
still playing... saving $$$ to buy Counter-Strike: Source...

FIFA Soccer 2006
getting it soon... perhaps.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted
same as above... first impression... something like Need for Speed: Underground but with cops now...

Final Fantasy XII
still waiting... just release it already... japanese version... no problem... i can somehow 'decode' some words like... erm... Potion ? lolz.

Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus
same as above... Main character: Vincent Valentine... now that's something to look forward to... but i have a feeling that it will have some elements from Devil May Cry series...

Resident Evil 4
hope it's not a flop like Resident Evil: Outbreak (Offline Version)

IT Innovation Project [Ivan's our leader, same as always.]
still not very clear on this semester project specifications... proposal draft to be shown to Huang Shi Fu next Wednesday...

Sony Playstation 3
With XBox 360 out already... waiting for the final specification to be released before making a decision on which to purchase... but most probably i would get PlayStation 3 instead of XBox [yes i still dislike XBox to some extent...]

New Graphics Card for Desktop
"Inno3D GeForce4 MX440-SE is sooooooooo outdated."
Getting the nVidia GeForce4 FX series or even maybe the nVidia GeForce4 6600GT/7800GTX depending on budget and current motherboard specification. If 6600GT/7800GTX, changing the motherboard and PSU is a must. [Current motherboard only has a AGP 4x slot.]

New Battery for Laptop
3-cell battery, lasting 2-hour max. This ain't something worth to be happy about. But will set me back by about ~$200. Highly unlikely that i will get this.

Personal-wise... not interested to say it here... [or wait... maybe i can say it here since it's...]

Cold... or cool...

2005-11-23T14:54:00.000+08:00

the weather that is...

it's switching between cold and cool nowadays and i caught a cold yesterday... so i didn't attend classes...

[and while at home... playing a little of SRO, trying to hunt Bandit Bowman for one of the quest.]

still in slacking mode now... don't really feel like going to school... and doing the tutorials...

since most of my tutors and lecturers have commented on my hair length... think i'll cut it this coming Saturday or Sunday... depending on weather, situation and mood.

nothing much to blog about... just that things have been constant for the past few weeks...

World Cyber Games

2005-11-21T08:02:00.000+08:00

it just ended yesterday at Suntec Singapore...

lots of interesting matches yesterday particularly the FIFA Final between the Russian [x4Alexx] and the German [styla] which the German came back from behind 2-0 to win the 1st Game 5-4 and the second set 6-3

[comment... i thought i was good in FIFA 2002 to 2004... but seeing this game really make my skills sucks... never mind now... FIFA 2006... heehee]

backtrack to Day 2...

Counter-Strike: Source

Team Titan [Singapore] vs Maven_Crew [Korea]

most memorable is the Team Titan 14-unbeatun run... going from 3-0 down to 3-14 up...

but they lost to Team_EG next round...

there's a lot more interesting match for sure... but i was lazy to go down to Suntec to watch it live... so i watched it from the official website instead...

anyways...

class starting soon...

ciao.

Sorry

2005-11-15T17:52:00.000+08:00

for the non-update...

had alot of things in mind so i forgot about blogging altogether...

anyways... school 'officially' started, with all those tutorials i had to attend and...

Introduction to Market Research - Tutorial in a lab, the Soccernet jokes aside, was rather 'normal'. With a computer staring at me, it's hard to concentrate in class... at all. However, the good lecturer happens to be our tutor. (and i seldomly rated my lecturers as good.)

Business Communication 3 - ZOMG!!!!1111 LOLZ!!!!1111 'nuff said

Operating System - Lecture was a big BORE, tutorial and lab was okay.

Software Engineering Practices - With Madam Huang our lecturer and Ivan obviously on a high seeing her, her lecture was by far equivalent to Naga Siren's Ultimate Ability. Haven't seen her for tutorial. 'Cause it's this Friday. Sure reminds me of Database Management System.

Mobile Application Development - Potentially the module that has the best lecturer and tutor overall.

XML Web Services - Lecture was super-duper-uber boring, much more than HuangShiFu! Tutorial didn't leave much of a impression.

IT Innovation Project - With HuangShiFu seeing us for 3 modules, and with some suggestions of how we can improve from her and the same project group member from the previous E-Commerce Project, this is another module that won't bore the h311 outta me.

anyways,

DotA !!!

(i'm beginning to like DotA again, after much time playing SilkRoad Online lately and going to bed earlier than usual. SRO, IMO, has better graphics and is free forever. But i've taken a liking to ROSEOn since i played it during its testing stage.)

Yay!

2005-11-07T17:47:00.000+08:00

school officially starts today...

and we (ivan,ian,soonpoh,engsheng,tony,me,kelvin) skipped the only SIT lecture (XML) today and went to Seoul Garden...

[heh]

what a good way to start off yet another semester soon to be bogged down by the mad rush of projects...

=(

but nonetheless... this time... we've a Plan C !!!

=)

[don't ask about Plan A or Plan B or Plan C... truth is... you do not want to know... for sure.]

before i go off...

NOTICE !!!
==========
Who got Photochop CS can lend me ? Who got Macromedia Flash,Fireworks,Dreamweaver can lend me ?

much thanks in advance.

Timetable~

2005-10-31T19:30:00.000+08:00

this semester timetable...

does not surprise me at all...

because...

it's almost the same as last semester...

[well maybe not on the laptop part... =D]

Maybe...

2005-10-28T18:53:00.000+08:00

once my hair has gotten too red... i might consider dyeing it black...

been playing some old FPS games this morning and afternoon, namely

- Team Fortress Classic
- Half-Life
- Counter-Strike
- Day of Defeat

planning to get

- Counter-Strike: Condition Zero
- Counter-Strike: Source

once school starts for the new semester...

speaking of the new semester... it's starting soon in...

erm...

please wait while i check...

9-10 more days depending on how you look at the calendar...

once school has started, it will be "sianz" all the way...

so to keep my sianzation at bay...

i might also consider buying

- a laptop
or
- a PSP

[wait... did i say something similiar to this the previous semester holiday blog entries??? i think i did... LOLZ!]

cause next semester i don't really want to go hunting for computers at the labs... since Year 1 Semester 2 students also have their semester-long project to do...

=(

nah... i shouldn't complain much, since it benefits me ~~greatly~~ erm... to some extent... XD

kk shall stop...

for now.

Hmm...

2005-10-25T17:39:00.000+08:00

still slacking nowadays...

nothing much to update so i'll leave a note here...

- My GSD review has been push to somewhere in my blog due to my net connection will be back to using 56K again. just kidding XD. you can use the links just above my tagboard to access it.
[the real reason is because me want to blog soon as school is starting soon... heh]

Plot Summary:
Cosmic Era 73. Though the signing of a peace treaty brought the war between the Naturals and Coordinators to an apparent close, tensions fueled by the continued threat of Blue Cosmos continue to run high. During a conference between PLANT chairman Gilbert Dullindal and Orb representative Cagalli Yula Athha concerning the threat of a new military arms race, an Alliance special forces team attacks the ZAFT base they're meeting at and makes off with three new Gundam mobile suits. Forced to pursue them, Shinn Asuka of ZAFT and Athrun Zala of Orb set out aboard the new space battleship Minerva, and engage the retreating Alliance strike team in combat. But just as they catch up to the fleeing ship, the crew of the Minerva receives word of an even greater catastrophe in the making, which will undoubtedly re-ignite the brutal war between the Naturals & Coordinators all over again.

2005-10-19T13:44:00.000+08:00

was reading through the comments on

Anti-XiaXue Blog

and i stop reading halfways...

[thinking i can find out why there are lots of people hating the above-mention character from Singapore...]

but when i saw

Anonymous1 vs Anonymous2 vs Anonymous3 vs Anonymous4........ vs AnonymousN

i wonder the majority of people commenting there are anti-XiaXue or pro-XiaXue...

anyways... i found the recent XiaXue's post about handicapped people...

Quote: "Woah, woah! HOLD ON DUDE. You mean only handicapped people can use handicapped toilets?"
anyone can use but the priority is given to those handicapped folks.. that's why it's called a handicapped toilet in the first place...

Quote: "The rest of us queue up to use a toilet - I don't see why the disabled should be any different."
Imagine this: you become a handicapped person overnight... and when you need to use a toilet and everyone's queueing for that particular handicapped toilet and since going by your reasonings:
(1) it is nearer afterall
(2) maybe he shares my love for handicapped toilets because they are so freaking spacious and usually has your own mirror and wash basin! Coolness!
how would you feel...?

Quote: "How come people have this notion that only the disabled can use facilities for the disabled?"
if you ain't gonna make way for disabled people... you would be the one who's being rude...

Quote: "If I ever break my leg (choy!) I think I shall use my crutch to anyhow whack anyone who comes near my MRT lift. When some person says I am being violent, I cry and say he is bullying a cripple, then everyone will automatically be on my side."
Some people know who's right, who's wrong. It's already wrong beating someone on the street so what makes your "whack-anyone-who-comes-near-my-MRT-life" logic any right?

above are my opinions... comments are always welcome but i will not tolerate flamers who are just looking for a fight here... and if you ask me whether i'm a pro-XiaXue or anti-XiaXue... my answer would be...

None. i'll rather be neutral.

from below... i feeling so &@#^&%$*@&^ that now i'm starting to take potshots at anyone... and my next target maybe...

- XiaXue again
- XiaLanXue
- P2P [can't use the real acorymn...]
- WnV [some chinese team for the CPL]
- My mother
- My Brother
- My Father
- anyone who pisses me off the last couple of days...

[Non-DotA player? Please leave now!!!]

[Version 5.84b]

Team-mates:
Magnus
Lina Inverse

Morphling can really own with from my game point of view...
- Lina's Ultimate
[Spellsteal of course...]
- Empower
[from Magnataur]
- Eye of Scardi
- Max-ed Blink Ability
- Morph all to Agility
[risky due to super low HP but it's worth it...]

Notes:
------
Slayer's Ultimate Ability [+50% attack speed]
Magnataur's Empower Ability [+80% attack power]

was actually thinking of Morphling best ability to Spellsteal, team-mates to have and items beside the above two... and my trial build...

in my opinion...

==================
Spellsteal Section
==================

1) Spellsteal RougeKnight/SkeletonKing's Storm Bolt
(Max Level - 300 HP damage plus 2 second stun)
Best stun in the game. IMHO. Useful before getting the Eye of Scardi, but stunning with EoS is always preferred against Blinkers like Queen of Pain and pray that you can kill them before they blink away. =)
Alternative(s):
- Cranium Basher
(30% chance for a second stun)
Get this after getting the Eye of Scardi if you have an extra slot but you will have to rely heavily on luck though. Gives additional damage.

2) Spellsteal HolyKnight's Purge
(Max Level - Slow speed by factor of 7)
The magic negation will prove to be very useful against the likes of RougeKnight's God's Strength, Treant Protector's Living Armor, to name a few. Also, very useful before getting the Eye of Scardi and even more useful after getting it. Weak against Blinkers
Alternative(s):
- Diffusal Blade
(10 charges of Purge and Feedback ORB ability)
although the Purge effect is not as great compare to HolyKnight or Gorgon's, this is actually better than nothing, agree? Gives additional mana, armor and damage.

3) Spellsteal CrystalMaiden's Frostbite
(Max Level - 60 HP damage/second for trap for 3.5 seconds)
Can someone clarify with me... can an enemy blink out of a Frostbite??? other than that, the duration is longer than the best stun by a mere 0.5 second but never under-estimate the power of 0.5 second in DotA. Great against non-Blinkers and non-Strength-based heroes though
Alternative(s):
- If you can't get the best, get the second best. Refer to (1). RougeKnight/SkeletonKing's Storm Bolt.

4) Spellsteal OmniKnight's Repel
(Max Level - Repel offensive magics for 20 seconds)
'nuff said. This will help you survive against nukers. An other gray zone, can it repel MoonRider's Eclipse or Juggernaut's Omnislash???
Alternative(s):
-Black King Bar
(15 seconds duration Avatar which has the same effect as Repel)
Same as above. Gives additional HP, damage and when activated, gains additional armor and even more HP and damage.

5) Spellsteal DrowRanger's Frost Arrows, Silence
(Max Level - Slow attack rate by 20% and movement speed by 40%)
(Max Level - Silence an enemy for 6 seconds)
Frost Arrow will be useful once max-ed by either your team-mate or your enemy but only useful until you get the Eye of Scardi itself. Silence will be useful against Blinkers.
Alternative(s):
- The Eye of Scardi itself
(Slows attack rate and movement speed)
Gives additional increments to all departments of the Morphling
- Spellsteal QueenOfPain/Venomancer's Poison Strike
(Slows, 100 initial damage and 50 duration damage)
It's only for a short duration
- Spellsteal Tidehunter's Gush
(40% reduction of movement speed and a near-desolator effect: minus 5 armor)
This is one evil spell. Heh
- Spellsteal Netherdrake's Poison Attack
(40% reduction of movement speed and 24 damage/second)
Same as Frost Arrow but instead of slowing the attacking speed, the enemy hero has 24 HP loss per second.
- Spellsteal NightStalker's Crippling Fear
(40% chance to miss and 8 seconds worth of Silence)
Downside, night only. You will be cursing youself when the NightStalker's Darkness is still charging up and it's still Day]
- Spellsteal DemonWitch/ShadowShaman's Voodoo
(Turn an enemy in random critter for 5 seconds)
Thumb up for this
- Guinsoo's Scythe of Vyse
(Voodoo for 3.5 seconds)
Gives additional mana and mana regeneration rate

6) Spellsteal OrgeMagi's Bloodlust
(Max Level - Increase attack rate by 50%, movement speed by 25%)
A better version of the Slayer's Ultimate that's all
Alternative(s):
- Mask of Madness
(12% life steal and when activated, Frenzy which increases attack and movement speed but takes in 20% more damage)
You will have to sell this away once you have the Eye of Scardi or you risk the ORB effect of Eye of Scardi to be override by the Mask of Madness which you do not really want, considering the money spent to build the Eye of Scardi (the second most expensive item in DotA costing a whooping 7050 Gold!!!)
Couple this with max-ed Blink, and figure out the rest yourself. =D
- Spellsteal BoneFletcher's Strafe
(110% increase in attack speed for 10 seconds)
Only enable you to attack even more faster
- Spellsteal Viper/LightningRevenant's Frenzy
(100% increase in attack for 20 seconds at the cost of 20% more damage taken)
- Hyperstone
(55% increase in attacking speed)

=======================================
The tedious Why-Not-Recommended Section
=======================================
Why these abilities are not recommended by me???

- GoblinTechie's Stasis Trap?
It takes too long to plant the trap and is easily counter-ed by Gem of True Sight or Sentry Wards althought it pays off if it traps an enemy hero since it has a very long stun period (13 seconds !!!)

- CentaurWarchief's Hoof Stomp?
Well it has a longer stun period but less damaging compared to RougeKnight/SkeletonKing's Storm Bolt. But damage is not your concern here. what matters more is that it only affect those within an AoE range of 125[?] from the Morphling compared to Storm Bolt's range of 500[?] single target

- DragonKnight's Dragon Tail?
This is IMO, even worse than Hoof Stomp. Single Target and stun at melee range, lasts for 3.25 seconds at max-ed level.

- VengefulSpirit's Magic Missile?
With damage at 325 HP damage, it's natural for it's stun effect to be low. (1.75 seconds)

- CrystalMaiden/Lich's Frost Nova?
Stun is the better choice over slow. Which is better, hitting a stun-ed hero or chasing a hero which has it's movement speed slow-ed by 4 seconds? The slow will be covered once you get the Eye of Scardi so why waste Spellsteal for this?

- NagaSiren's Ensnare?
Someone clarify, can enemy use stun while Ensnare-ed? Else, no effect against ranged hero like BoneFletcher. Ensnare lasts 5 seconds.

- Slayer's Light Strike Array?
280 HP AoE damage and stuns for 1.6 seconds and that's it. You hit the enemy once and he's off running. Need precise timing while trying to stun the running enemy hero else you will waste your time.

- UrsaWarrior's Overpower?
400% increment of attack speed for 15 seconds or 5 strikes whichever comes first. Its effect will be away before you notice it.

- OrgeMagi's Fire Blast?
Weak, Weak, Too Weak! (in terms of stun duration) 275 HP damage, single target, stuns for 1.5 seconds

- Prophet's Sprout?
Refer to NagaSiren's Ensnare.

- NightStalker's Void?
Night only. Slow for 4 seconds. Same theory as the immobolizing-or-chasing enemy hero. Not useful before Eye of Scardi and only serve to chase enemy off.

- NerubianAssassin/DemonWitch's Impale?
Straight line only and when you have casted it, the running enemy will be out of range of Impale. 300 HP damage and stuns for 2.25 seconds

- SlithereenGuard's War Stomp/Sprint?
Same as Hoof Stomp of the CentaurWarchief.
40% increase in movement speed but you take in 20% more damage.

- TormentedSoul's Split Earth?
Similar to Slayer's Light Strike Array

- ChaosKnight's Chaos Bolt?
Random stun for between 1 to 5 seconds and deals 200 HP damage

- Oblivion's Decrepify?
You cannot attack decrepify-ed hero physically. Slow 50% of movement speed though.

- Butcher's Meat Hook?
Nice try but is prone to be hooking creep without any practice.

- PandaranBattlemaster's Thunder Clap?
Same as Hoof Stomp.

============================================
Morphling Watch-List (for extreme morph-ers)
============================================
When morphing to the extreme Agility side:
[some instant 60-90% HP loss attack and assuming that you are in wonderland]
- MoonRider's Eclipse (1500 damage maximum, stick with your creeps)
- DwarvenSniper's Assassinate (655 HP damage over 2500 range)
- GoblinTechie's Suicide Squad (1500 AoE HP damage !!!)
- Slayer's Laguna Blade (1150 HP damage with Aghannim's Scepter)
- Juggernaut's Omnislash (1050 HP damage or 7xBaseAttack HP Damage)
- OrgeMagi's Max-ed DoubleCast Fireblast (1100 HP Damage with minor stun)
- QueenOfPain's Sonic Wave (850 HP damage with Aghannim's Scepter, line)
- Lich's Chain Frost (IMHO, with Aghannim's Scepter, 550 HP damage minimum, 2200 HP damage maximum)
- DemonWitch's Finger of Death (With Aghannim's Scepter, 1050 HP Damage)
- SandKing's Epicenter (1100 HP Damage)
- Max-ed Dagon (800 HP Damage)

When morphing to the extreme Strength Side:
[meaning your armor with base armor will be 1+7.1 with Eye of Scardi]
- Crystalys/Burize-do Kyanon (2x or 2.2x normal)
- Phantom Assassin's insane critical strike (4x normal)
- Desolator (8.1 armor decrease to 2.1 armor) [30+% damage reduction decreased to 10+% damage reduction]

i find the Morphling to be a very versatile hero... but being a jack of all trade is no good... haha... IMO

constructive comments anyone ?

lol!

i think i better off my computer... have spent quite some time on this... XD

zzz

2005-10-12T03:46:00.000+08:00

even though i'm saying that i'm tuning my sleeping time...

in fact...

it just got worse...

i think i'll have to endure for 18 hours more...

starting from... now...

tegami

2005-10-11T06:55:00.000+08:00

to: "Ces.Valentine" と "= wo" と "AeroFlare"

[yes you know who i'm referring to... including myself... >.<]

i think i found the following loopholes...

"= wo"

1) You know what abilities i have yet you don't get the items to counter...
[ie. you did not buy sentry wards to counter my Lothar's Edge which has Windwalk]
2) You like to wander at the river side-path...
[more prone to surprises or gangbanging by enemies...]
3) You don't request for support...
[support in the form of "Ces.Valentine"]

the rest is alright... just that you need to play more to improve on those basic stuffs like farming, hero build etc.

"Ces.Valentine"

1) You are playing at a level which is more cowardly compared to mine's...
[Juggernaut's Blade Fury is not that scary... >.<]
2) You don't stay with your creeps...
[if i used Luna... well you should know already...]
3) You did not studied the effect of most heroes' ultimate abilities...
[ie.: Omnislash]
4) When you play DotA, you tend to worry about other things...
[when you kept saying "sianz", "T.T" and more "sianz"... how to play with 100% concentration like that... =X]

i also have much more complains to you...

a) You... like to keep pausing the game...
[for toilet break...]
b) D/C-ing
[i only hated this one... which is far worse than "= wo"'s laggi-ness]
c) KS-ing
[more apparant in AI matches... but KS is everyday's life of gaming so i got nothing to say about this one... but just remember... when you KS, you are suppose to be richer than the rest of your team-mate and that's one reason more not to be killed by other heroes...]

"AeroFlare"

1) In the midst of buying Eye of Scardi, i accidentally sold off my Cranium Basher while selling away the Mask of Madness to make way for the Eye of Scardi
2) Micro-management and timing still bugs me a little
3) Tends to play more cowardly when using AGL-based hero than when using INT-based hero

i need to study up on more heroes... in my opinion...

my cough is acting up again...

>.<

oh ya...

btw...

checked my result already and it's

"dropping slowly... but nonetheless... is within what i had expected..."

BM0501 BUSINESS COMMUNICATION 2 "B"
BM0518 BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT "C"
BM0519 PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT "B"
IT2505 IP TECHNOLOGY AND NETWORKING "C+"
IT2601 DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS "B+"
IT2602 ELECTRONIC COMMERCE "B"
IT2691 ELECTRONIC COMMERCE PROJECT "A"

Cumulative GPA: 3.244 [decreased from 3.287]

50% of poly-life just went by... and now... must start to work hard since next semester i'm in the IT stream...

[to our wondrous, full of energy captain... no thanks needed... but i am now sort of worried for the rest's ECPJ result...]

anyways... best of luck to those who went to IT or Business Stream...

hopefully...

i can let this blog be stagnant for a while...

[and hope it don't breed mosquitoes... >.<]

wasted trip

2005-10-10T20:09:00.000+08:00

went to animehouse to discover that it's not open every Monday...

2) even if i brought the receipt, it's not open...

will go again this coming Saturday to get my calendars and NewType magazine...

2005-10-10T05:30:00.000+08:00

been doing nothing these past few days and i don't feel the urge to update my blog so frequently... so... now i will only blog whenever i step out of my house...

[which is quite rare...]

anyways... going to Bugis later to collect my pre-ordered 2006 calendars...

later...

[trying to tune my sleeping time again... might not be awake when everyone is...]

i'm fine now...

2005-10-08T18:54:00.000+08:00

2005-10-08T06:38:00.000+08:00

i feel like i had just "refreshed" my body...

no more weird feelings in my body... but still got a bit of cough and flu...

[example: the strange feeling before getting sick...]

but...

what's left was the tiredness due to the lack of rest...

planning to rest for a very long time after i go collect my calendars at Sunshine Plaza...

won't be online for today's night i guess...

i led quite an unhealthy lifestyle...

2005-10-07T21:29:00.000+08:00

and it's slowing creeping up on me...

don't feel very well today... physically and mentally... i think i should start resting more instead of mugging for java and playing games...

tomorrow going to get my pre-ordered 2006 anime calendar... namely... Bleach and Gundam Seed Destiny...

[i know i should not be running around under the hot sun when i know i'm getting sick soon... but... hope tomorrow it will rain...]

think i'll sleep again soon... since not playing any games for today...

tired

2005-10-05T20:59:00.000+08:00

just came back from bugis...

[29hours without sleep...]

let's see...

- went to shaw tower to purchase "Goal!" ticket
- ate at burger king
- sp bought a new slingbag
- returned back to shaw tower
- watched "Goal!"
- had dinner at PastaMania
- return home

2005-10-05T12:20:00.000+08:00

going out soon...

to meet ian and sp in Bugis MRT station at 2pm...

catching the preview for "Goal!" and perhaps go slack around at Orchard area bah...

[to think that i'll be slacking at a place which i have already deem it as a boring place... compared to...]

cannot think cearly after the 20th hour that i'm awake...

[i have a bad habit of unknowingly switching my bio-timezone from GMT+8 to GMT-8]

think i'll go take a quick cold shower...

Your Birthdate: August 11

Your birth on the 11th day of the month makes you something of a dreamer and an idealist.

restarting my java revision...

now !!!

Let's see...

2005-10-04T03:05:00.000+08:00

did the java mock test today and it was... 56%

[without revision FYI... gonna see my foundation of java 1st then i'll start revising... since Mr Lee is giving another mock test this coming wednesday... cause i stated the day to him...]

hmm... went to Chong Pang with Kelvin to scout for friendly games but in the end we slack-ed at the big hawker center there...

[to kelvin aka cesario: sorry ar i eat too fast and too much... wasn't playing attention to the amount of food that i ate while i'm talking about what else... dota... lolz ! fret not... my turn to treat you will come soon... unlike......... ________ (fill in the blank: 20marks) anyways... i'm not even sure that you read my blog or not... haha]

continuing... at this time of the night... our dear leader... ivan-san is still online... probably playing the game that he labelled as lame and told me to stay away from it... and without a shadow of a doubt... MAPLE STORY

[first of all... sorry for the cap... i know some people out there hate people typing in cap... =X]

>.<

[running out of things to blog...]

that reminds me... someone just snowball-ed the "debt" from erm... "20 over[?]" to "20 over plus 4"... meaning... what you have asked me to do... it's done...

[i hate blogging at late night... even although i just finished my supper and feel not sleepy now...]

[what else...]

to ian-san and PSP-san[not the PlayStation Portable... XD]... movie that we will be likely to watch is maybe "Goal!" i guess... but the problem now is... the time and date of when we are watching the movie is still unknown... please tell me ASAP... arigatou !

perhaps i should start playing my PS2 soon... i have not touched my PS2 since the term break... [that's almost 2 months...]

game to be played is... [while waiting for the seasonal game-purchase rush of November/December] is...

- Genso Suikoden 3 or 4 i haven't decide
- Final Fantasy X or X-2 i also haven't decide
- Resident Evil: Outbreak
- Silent Hill 4
- Star Ocean 3: Till the End of Time

don't ask me why i'm replaying those games... is cause... the last time i finished the game... i didn't finished it as in... completed every thing and unlocked everything...

meanwhile... when i used my PC for obvious reasons...

[dota talks...]

we...

[ian, PSP, kelvin and me]

are the pathetic bunch of people who can beat a team of AIs once in a blue moon...

[and the moon's blue today !!! -jk]

anyways... won't be dota-ing for today... since our hero has to work...

[hero = ian]

hmm... i guess i can say something how i feel about dota currently...

here goes...

- i hate leavers!
- i dislike laggers.

and the heroes that i can barely use or can use effectively...

- Night Stalker [currently my gay-est hero... thick in HP... but not armor...]
- Demon Witch [currently my highest HP INT-Based hero...]
- Crystal Maiden [can't slay STR-based hero when late game...]
- Moonrider [had trouble with blink dagger -> Lucent Beam -> Eclipse]
- Lifestealer [early ownage by other people... =(]
- Queen of Pain [didn't use the Fan of Knives bug of version 5.84...]
- Anti-Mage [wrong item build previously... but thanks to faizal in correcting me...]
- Juggernaut [my support-based/slayer hero]
- Phantom Lancer [*version 6.00 and above* Spamming images with abilities and manta]
- Necrolyte [my safest bet when fighting against STR-based hero...]
- Lich [better than Luna IMO...]
- Bone Fletcher [learnt from someone who liked to use this during my Sec Sch days...]
- Stealth Assassin [as above...]
- Holy Knight [mass creep rush anyone ? *before version 6.18*]
- Omniknight [support-based hero if i'm to play...]
- Zeus [wrong ability distribution previously...]
- Orge Mage [2 soul boosters with perserverence and i go happy triple-casting]
- Treant Protector [the only STR-based hero with stealth ???]
- Butcher [credit to ivan...]
- Vecromancer [credit to -ar]

kk i shall stop my post here...

later...

Sleepless Night

2005-10-02T04:33:00.000+08:00

anyways... in DotA... been getting trashed by AI since yesterday...

it's so insane... with all the micromanagement that the AI can accomplish...

i think i simply sux when playing DotA...

well... gotta start building my Strike-Freedom already... been in the box unfinished since the end of August... =D

[where's my cutter and all... Zzz]

most of them are basically remixs from the original game soundtrack or taken from the piano collections of Final Fantasy VII [i think...]

anyways... got nothing to talk about now... maybe i go catch a quick nap before gaming...

Memories...

2005-09-30T13:09:00.000+08:00

i think i should talk about it whenever i feel like it after this week...

hmm

2005-09-30T09:00:00.000+08:00

yesterday slept at around 2.30am i think...

cause was playing dota with ivan ian and soon poh...

3 vs 1 match...

[ivan, ian and soon poh vs. me]

lost in the end... cause cannot contain ivan and ian...

let's see...

ivan used Queen of Pain... with EoS... >.<

ian used Axe... with 30+ armor and an Aegis

[30+ armor = almost 67% damage reduction !!! far better then Agility-based heroes...]

soon poh used Slayer... which is overall pain... >.<

i used Phantom Lancer... i forgot that this hero just cannot kill heroes without some sort of stun... cause QoP can just blink away...

anyways...

to sum it all up...

- ivan still uber cause i still got little confidence in winning him...
- ian... armor too thick liao... HP too... anyways... this can be used to fustrate enemies bah... when they cannot kill you due to high armor and maybe of the Aegis... adding on... i think Sven's stun will do even less damage if you buy the item that reduces spell damage... [i think the effect is +15% damage reduction to spells...]
- soon poh... sorry ar... to be farming you early game... cause i can only see you and only you on my mini-map... ivan and ian dunno run to where liao... Zzz anyways... nice job near the end of the game... i think... i think only ar... that they used you as a bait to lure me to you and destory my towers while i wasted time travelling back and forth or you all three are trying to gb me... heng sia... one of my illusions save me...

ivan... phantom lancer can easily be countered... you go buy the item called Maelstorm bah... it got 20% chance for 200 damage chain lightning... or you got used the downgraded Gorgon... haha...Intelligence-based heroes will also do better with AoE spells... due to the facts that the illusions take in 200% more damage and only does 25% damage...

Siren > Phantom Lancer... [in a sense...]

Siren i think the mirror images still do 45% damage but have a limit of 4 [??? add in 2 if one bought a Manta Style...]

of course if you want to go the expensive way... can just buy a Battle Fury when you are using a Melee hero or like what you did last night... EoS with Gem of True Sight...

what can i say about Phantom Lancer ar... well... besides the fact that it's a tower pushing hero... i can pretty well slay heroes too... but either with Cranium Basher support or other heroes with stun/slow ability when the Phantom Lancer still do not have money to buy the high-end items...

kkz... enough dota talk for now... haha

personal life-wise... it's pretty stagnant for now... and i'm planning to leave it at that... until... [shall post again at other time... regarding to this]

hmm java class starting soon... the final topic...

Thread...

which i like back then when doing OOPJV...

[PS: if i wear black... i'll get irritated pretty easily... XD]

*edited: corrected my n00bish english... as much as possible... since i typed this in a frozen lab

Wahhhhhhh~~~~~~~

2005-09-28T17:53:00.000+08:00

my unsorted mp3s are piling up... now counting at 8GB...

and i don't have time to sort it until maybe next week...

[note: emphasize- maybe]

Zzz

been in school for 60% of a 5-day week and covered ~66% of what is need for the certification for the java in an Arctic Land... but only absorbed about 30% i guess...

given my current progress i think i must work hard next week and maybe beyond... think i will be typing out the codes and testing each functions out independently...

[sidetrack: i highly doubt i will make it... someone give me a refresher orb now!!! don't come flaming me in MSN... that's all i ask for... heh]

[PS: this vacation is really becoming like a normal school day... Zzz but am thankful that i can go there and actually learn something... haha...]

Working-in-Progress
===================
ZGMF-X20A STRIKE FREEDOM GUNDAM
- upper body without hands [nya]

when it's done... maybe i'll post a picture containing both my X42S and X20A... but maybe i will decide against... no reasons given...

5pm- Started the BBQ Preparation...

6pm- Also,the rest of the group reach...

6.30pm- Eng Sheng is excluded from doing any barbecuing 'cause of his attire... meanwhile, Ian's slacking away... ._.

2005-09-17T00:22:00.000+08:00

went to Junction 8 with but before that we wasted time at the Yio Chu Kang SSDC...

- Ivan
- Ian
- Eng Sheng
- Soon Poh
- Tony
- Kelvin

basically... it was the ECPJ Team 01 and Kelvin...

had our lunch at Food Junction... the incident there... i rather not talk about it now...

we after that went to catch a movie... debating about what to see... choosing between Cinderella Man, 三个好人 or Brothers Grimm...

and in the end...

Two brothers have a good con going. They travel from village to village pretending to villagers from dangerous fantastical creatures. When a real sorceress threatens a village, the brothers are called on to investigate.

Source: http://www.gv.com.sg

the movie... i rather not talk about it... since i was like "???" to the plot during the 1st half of the movie... the 2nd half was better...

[to ivan: my eyes... red meh ??? that time i wasn't sleepy... i think just the dry air affected my eyes a bit...]

went home... sleep... eat and now blogging...

[at the same time... reading DBMS while skipping a round of DotA...]

http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

Your view on yourself:

Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education:

You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

The right job for you:

You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:

You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

AeroFlare's Believe It Or Not
-----------------------------

ditching the previous hate list of me for this... haha... believe it at your own risk... cause i'm gonna write some personal stuffs here which is long overdue for... erm... wait while i do the calculations...

[3 years of blogging FYI... heh]

here goes...

one thing about AeroFlare...

living behind a mask since secondary school where i just could not fit in the new environment after leaving primary school where i made MANY good friend and one of particular... but it's ancient history now... i wonder how she's doing now... i try to shape myself to be what others want to see me as... "Sotong King", "Attitude", "Ah Blur" or whatever... and i'll automatically morph into that AeroFlare, which i also dislike that part of myself, when i meet that person or group... [role-playing... which i unconsciously do it everyday... what i want other people to see me as...]

the true AeroFlare only appear when he's at home... behind the computer screen blogging and at the same time, laughing at my bro's driving skills in Gran Turismo 4 disturbing my mum and a nice cup of coffee to keep myself awake...

Ignore the one below !!!!

2005-09-06T15:15:00.000+08:00

Lyrics

2005-09-05T11:24:00.000+08:00

君は僕に似ている
Ｓｅｅ－Ｓａｗ
作曲：梶浦由記
唄：石川智昌

君の姿は僕に似ている
静かに泣いてるように胸に響く

何も知らない方が幸せというけど
僕はきっと満足しないはずだから
うつろに横たわる夜でも
僕が選んだ今を生きたい　それだけ

君の速さは僕に似ている
歯止めのきかなくなる空が怖くなって
僕はいつまで頑張ればいいの？
二人なら終わらせることができる

どうしても楽じゃない道を選んでる
砂にまみれた靴を払うこともなく
こんな風にしか生きれない
笑って頷いてくれるだろう　君なら

君に僕から約束しよう
いつか僕に向かって走ってくる時は
君の視線を外さずにいよう
きっと誰より上手に受け止めるよ

君の姿は僕に似ている
同じ世界を見てる君がいることで
最後に心なくすこともなく
僕を好きでいられる
僕は君に生かされてる

You Resemble Me
See-Saw
Compose: Yuki Kajiura
Vocal: Chiaki Ishikawa

Your appearance resembles mine,
As your silent cries echo within your heart.

They say ignorance is bliss,
But I don't think I'll be content with it.
Even on those nights stretched out across emptiness,
I only want to live in the present chosen by me, that's all.

Your speed resembles mine.
In the skies where brakes no longer work,
Will I really be alright as long as I persist?
The two of us can end this if we try.

I'll stick to the difficult path no matter what,
Without even brushing my shoes covered with sand.
I can't live in any other ways.
You would probably agree with a smile.

I will make a promise to you.
When you turn your sights and fly towards me someday,
I won't escape from your vision.
I'll definitely receive you better than anyone else.

Your appearance resembles mine.
Knowing that you are there and looking at the same world as me,
I am able to not lose heart even till the end,
And know that I don't have to hate myself.
You gave me the will to live again.

----
DotA
----

1st game - used treant a stupid small tree... but not bad actually... can hide almost instantly and also entangle heroes and creeps in my root for a few second where i can unleashed MOM and BKB at the same time... defeated ivan, tony and... ian ??? [i can't remember the last hero...]

2nd game - tag with ivan for the second time since our class started playing DotA

Replay:
Replay 5.84c

was basically a 2 versus 5 match....

Team 1 Sentinel
Faizal - Stealth Assassin [used it for like the duration where Earth rotates around the Sun]
Soon Poh - Bounty Hunter [1st time]
Tony - Juggernaut [5th time? since 3 days ago?]
Ian - Vengeful Spirit [almost mastered]
Kelvin - Slayer [erm... he said he lost touch...]

Team 2 Scoruge
Ivan - Phantom Assassin [i think 2nd time]
Me - Night Stalker [2nd time using]

item build i tried was basically the same build when i use Night Stalker for the 1st time... [gem of true sight is cause i'm facing 2 stealth heroes...]

Final items:
Pwr Thread
MOM
BKB
Gem
Bruize
Manta

credit to ivan for guiding me throughout the game... =D and also Darkness charging up whenever i need it the most to cast void, BKB and MOM... [didn't get the chance to cast fear... too troublesome...]

got killed 3 times due to careless mistakes or i was gangbanged by 5 heroes... =.=' [even eclipse, refresh, eclipse will also die...] cuz i got like 5 ultimates unleashed on me... but must credit to ian... for swapping my position with his... then i think faizal ks... with his... what else... death ward...]

i think from now i start training my Night Stalker already... i think i play STR-based hero is better than i playing AGL-hero... but there is also some AGL hero i'm quite good in but someone is training that...

hmm enough talk about DotA... [i'm doing nothing but dota-ing for this week... seriously need the break before i chiong coding once again...]

ok... i got to go liao... need to bath in the middle of the night liao... [cause it's freaking hot now...]
