Too late...

Dammit!

Lord of The Rings: Conquest..

...

The £4.99 one is gone...='(
Now it's £19.99!!! ...

Did they just increase the price because X'mas is coming? haihs...

AND AND AND...

I found a £17.99 one for Star Wars: Empire at War Gold Pack!!!!!
It comes with the expansion pack..=D
And this game is DA BOMB!! It received superb reviews. It came out in 2006, bought the pirated version..didn't work...=(

Wonder if I can get this

AND AND AND

Star Wars the Clone Wars - Republic Heroes..

I FOUND A CHEAPER VERSION!! IT'S £17.99 AS WELL!!!! =D

I found this one from a website that Yunrui gave me. She bought L4D2 from there...at £24 i think...whoa..super pricey...but it looks super cooooooool~ =D


but..

I can only buy all these games probably next year...=(
Cause cannot get job this X'mas.

Need a stupid NI number to work.

Have to apply NI number myself...RUSU didn't help.

Have to set date for interview of identification, or something like that.

Will only receive my NI number in about 8 weeks.......

yes..
EIGHT LOOOOOOOOONG WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And if I were to work at Argos, they would let me know within 4 weeks of my application...should've started doing all these when I came in October...

It will be the beginning of next term before I can even get my stupid NI number...

This might be a sign....

..

To prepare for my writing credit, Land assessed work, and whatever assignments left and catch up on studies.

Btw, is the library open during the x'mas break? Does anybody know? Will probably be hanging around there most of the time, and Student Village of course..=D

Ok, gotta go do Equity assignment...=S


*C'MON BARCELONA!!! Visca el Barca!!!

Anything and Everything.

THE game I've been waiting for! It came out in January this year..but it was super expensive. I don't know why..but I didn't want to buy a pirated copy..

And NOW, can get it for £4.99 incl VAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Something like RM25 only...FOR ORIGINAL!!!!!

Awesome~

AND...





Double awesomeness~

I saw this game at a game shop near the oracle. It was released early last month. The game play reminds me a lot like Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles...only with better graphics. I loved that game a lot!! I think I'm gonna love this one even more!! =D

But the reviews have been relatively poor...and a lot of the complaints were from the older generation, where they can't accept any other Star Wars games or video or whatever that has to do with the prequels! But there were also people giving good reviews!! =D I'll take those good reviews and for those other people who hates the prequels...why on earth did you buy this game then?

This game is still new..quite pricey. £29.99 for either the PC version or the PS2 version. =(

If I work during December...then I'll get both games as my X'mas present...hehe..XD

And in conjunction with this game..Lucas Arts has a FANTASTIC website.
I love the 3D Holocomm!!

My name is Calo Saam. Rank: Captain. I was a commander..but I messed up one of my Clone Weapons Training..=(


Moving on from games..

My aunts came yesterday!!! Had nasi lemak, curry chicken, pandan chicken, fried fish, belacan, acar(pickled vege..you know the one you put on prawn crackers), ikan bilis and kacang, and har kau. In the fridge still got "chan pau"(like char siu pau..but then in a different bun), and some coconut pastries, and loh mai kai...oh yeah..still got char siu pau. Got a lot of crisps and pringles and 1 big bottle of Ribena, sesame oil, soy sauce, chilli oil....and other stuff..=)

I can survive if there's an emergency...hehe..XD

Going to Asda tomorrow...only need to buy a few items, like chicken, vegetables. Shopping tomorrow won't cost me much, cause not much to buy...=)


Also, yesterday evening some of us went to Wellington Country Park for the Fireworks Fiesta. This was organised by the Lion group. It was for charity...and...£7000+ worth of fireworks....OoO
The place was on the edge of Reading. The taxi fare was £35! =(

It was soooooo cold!!! Luckily I wore 3 layers and I brought my gloves..=D
The fireworks was not bad..lasted for almost 30 minutes.

A lot of other places had fireworks as well over the last couple of days..because Bonfire Night was on the 5th of November.

*Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.

Read it up on Wiki...and watch V for Vendetta. =D

And the Lion group will be organising another one next year on the 6th of November.



Ok, gotta do my tutorial and read up stuff for the 3 non-assessed essays coming up...=(

Nottingham University Games 2009

Started the day by waking up at 2am. It wasn't very cold outside, surprisingly, so early in the morning.

Clarence and I were the first to arrive at the bus. It was a double decker bus...OoO.
But, the seats were a bit tight...

Bus left at around 4am.
The journey was tiring...and uncomfortable.

We stopped by a rest area on the way there. Others left the bus to get breakfast..I just slept on..=)

Reached Nottingham University at around 7.30-ish.

Waited for the Minister of Youth and Sports to arrive...M'sian timing..late as usual.
Went into the hall..and it was like back in school. PERHIMPUNAN. =S

Got prayers, Negaraku, stand up, sit down, stand up, sit down...grrr...

Oh oh..and someones English was not very good...XD

After that, Shaun and all went to the Malaysian Food Festival. It was quite far away and I didn't know what time my game was so I didn't follow them. Nottingham Uni has it's own bus system. OoO...

I played doubles with Ngai Chun. Our match was at 11.45am. Priscilla played singles. Zhun Kit and Wei Jeat played pool and Aizad, Ngai Chun, Cletus, Shang and others played basketball and Clarence played scrabble.

No medals for Reading this year..=(

In doubles...we got thrashed...big time. 21-7 or 21-8, can't quite remember. =(
We lost to Cardiff. The 2 guys were like in their late 30s or something...

Oh..and we had to supply our own shuttlecock to play...zzz...and the shuttlecock we used belonged to the other 2...super light weh...all our shots kept going out and all their shots were on line....haihs...before we could even get our footing into the game..they had already won...

Waste of time. I didn't even get to eat any Malaysian food because of it...=(
Everyone got back from the food festival and we all went to watch Aizad and gang play basketball. After that we decided to go to town.

We got off a stop right in the middle of town. Not the kind of shopping the others were looking for...LOLS!!

So after walking around town..we headed to the castle. On the way to the castle, we saw the Robin Hood museum closed. Shaun told me that Marina told him(XD) that it was closed for good cause they couldn't pay their rent or something..lol..and it was owned by Tesco..

We didn't have to pay for entering..nicee...

BUT, there was a catch...

The castle was closed. =/
So we could only explore the castle grounds and the weird museum(i say it's weird cause there were a lot of other stuff in the museum like some weird art and some world war uniforms..

The castle grounds were beautiful though..=D
Scenery was fantastic..and there was even a couple taking their wedding pictures there.

After that..went to Yates for dinner. There's a Yates in Reading as well...and the one in Reading is a lot cheaper...and the portions are a lot bigger. Most of them took the BBQ chicken melt..it looked kinda pathetic..and Dinesh's fish pie was something like 3/4 full..compared to the one in Reading where it's filled right to the brim of the dish.

I had the bacon and cheese burger...can't go wrong with that..=)
Buns don't change in size..hehe..XD

Left town for the Uni. Left the Uni at around 8pm. Got back at around 11.30pm.
Went on Facebook for a while..then slept still 10..=D

*Would I play in Nottingham again? maybe...NOT. but..there were a lot of lousy players there..we just weren't lucky with our draw..=P
*Would I go back to Nottingham next year? I wouldn't want to..i dread the journey..but if Ikram they all are going..I may just follow them..=)
