Distant memories..

(1)
I haven't been doing much lately apart from lazing around my computer and going for training on Sundays.

Been playing Ragnarok Online, on and off. Private server.
It isn't as fun playing on private servers as it was on the official one 6 years ago(yes..my RO addiction started way back in 2003..), as it is much easier to level up, no one really cares to communicate with other players..=(
thus no friends...no parties...

The only time you get to talk to other players is when you are training at the same place for sometime..and the other person is doing the same..
And now with warpas(NPCs which warp you to places)..there isn't the need for travelling anymore..=(

Gone were the days of Xeon, Cardob and Leto.
Gone were the days of travelling Rune Midgard.
Gone were the days of SaintEmpire.

(2)
Michael Schumacher replacing Felipe Massa.
COOOOOLLL!!!!

But but but...what about his defining moment in Brazil 2006? =(
His legacy would be rewritten.
Not too sure it's a good decision..HOWEVER...

IT WOULD BE GREAT TO WATCH HIM RACE AGAIN!!!

Training!!! =D

Went or badminton training today..=)

Haven't played for 2 weeks, so I was slightly rusty.
My ankle hasn't fully healed, so I wore an ankle guard.

So...after 2 weeks of rest...I'm not fit to play badminton just yet. =(

Cannot run.

But then, to compensate for that...I WAS STRETCHING SO MUCH!!!!
WOOHOOO!!

Stretch forward for shots, stretch sideways for shots. But then it ached slightly every time I stretch for shots.

Played doubles. Me and Kean Weng vs Gabriel and Benjamin. We lost 21-19. Not bad for someone who is handicapped..XD

Then Darrell said winner stay. =(

So I rested.

Next. We played more doubles. Me and Gabriel vs Kean Weng and Benjamin. We won!! 21-17

And then Darrell said winner stay again. =(
Didn't manage to play a second game with them.

So Gabriel and I stayed, Pui Jin and the MSSD girl(donno her name) came on. Walau.
Sebastian and Kean Weng almost lost to the MSSD girl and her MSSD partner. But then due to injury, Kean Weng had to withdraw. That was 2 weeks ago.

Now. I'm injured. Gabriel just came back from UK. Hasn't played in 4 weeks.
The odds were stacked against us. Even Kean Weng was saying, "Quit now la. No need to play."

So 0-0.
1-0
2-0
3-0
4-0
4-1
5-1
6-1
7-1
8-1
9-1
10-1
11-1

WALAU!!! We were leading 11-1!! Kean Weng was saying it was luck..lols.

They brought the fight to us later on in the match.
We were leading 18-16. I was shit scared, but all the shots that i served...were PERFECT! =D

We won 21-19. Phew.

After that game, my leg hurt like hell.

I somehow felt differently after that game. There was once during the game early on. The girl attacked non stop. I think she knew I was the weaker player, so she kept smashing me, and I kept sending them back, even if it was a half court smash!! And then she made a mistake, and Gabriel finished it. =D
She never attacked me after that...hehe.

Hopefully my leg would be fully healed by next week, cause Darrell said he wants to push us. =D

Battlefield Heroes(BFH) is out!

It has finally been released!! Open Beta! =D

I've been waiting for this game's release since Dec 2007.
It's release has been postponed many times. Reason given, to provide a higher quality game for gamers...=D
I'm glad some companies do care about gamers' feelings towards games and not rush them out..like RO2.

Downloaded it 2 days ago. My verdict, quite a big let down after all the trailers, the hype, the reactions from game expos. =(

The creators have mentioned that this game would not need skill to play...NOW I know what they mean. Now sure how to explain if you're not a gamer. Let me put it this way.

If you play L4D or WolfTeam or CS, those games require hell lotta skill. Precise shooting.
BFH takes that away. You can shoot the guy in front of you..and you may not even damage him...wth? It's more of a, "If you don't have skills to play a shooting game, and like cartoons, then play this game" kind of games.

It's entertaining and cute. =)

But if you were to play with the mentality of L4D and the others..you'll be left frustrated. Trust me. Or you can ask Zhang Rei as well..XD

Btw, my relatives from Aussie are in Malaysia. My uncle the chef, some of you may have heard of him, he bought truffles!! Never seen one before..and it didn't look like the ones on TV which cost hundreds of bucks...hehe.
and it smells like cheese..wonder why.
