Hmm. Not sure why I had this inspiration to write this post. Just though I would write about my volunteer job over at GosuGamers and what I hope to achieve from it.
Well what do I do? Basically I do whatever a sports reporter does on the newspaper. I write about the latest player transfer in the professional DotA scene. Do interview with players about their wins at certain tournaments or just a fun interview in general. Besides that, I also help my other colleagues with other things. Such as organizing events and talking with peoples of the scene about some things. Thats more or less what I do I suppose. A lot of people will say that its so stupid to do such a thing. I respect their views, but I dont think its a stupid thing to do. I believe in the future, maybe not the near future but in the future. Wars will be fought out on the computer rather than on the battlefields. Scores between nations will be settled using a mouse and keyboard.
On to what I expect to gain from this. To be honest, I dont know. I know I like writing and getting to know more about the eSports scene. Learning how things work and so on. Its pretty cool. Writing for GosuGamers, is to me something that I can be very proud about. One of the reason being, I am the only Malaysian to write for them. Not only that, I believe that i have contributed to the team in a very positive way. The fact that GosuGamers is one of the biggest sites for DotA and also one of the biggest eSports site in general makes me that much more proud. Coming from a small city in Malaysia, i can write on such a level speaks volumes to me. I may not write as good as some of the better editors from Fnatic, MYM or SK-Gaming. But hei I'm still damn proud of it.
Ok, kinda off topic there. lol. Back to topic. What do I expect to gain. Like I said, I'm not sure exactly. I suppose one of the things that i would like to gain is how to help promote eSports in Malaysia. It may not seem like it, but Malaysia has a pretty thriving eSports scene with very iconic people. For example, our FIFA representative for WCG, Si_Jali can give the top players from Germany a hard time in the final eight matches. We also have a very renowned eSports organization, DuskBin which houses one of the best StarCraft team outside of Korea. While these are all great, I would like to help promote eSports to be more accepted publicly, it doesnt have to be like what you see in Korea, but at least we dont get the stereotype look when we say we play on a competitive level.
That should be all that I seek to gain from this I suppose. Well, thats all I have on my mind right now. So I guess I'll sign off here. See ya dudes.

PS3 slim looks so crap.
Grr. Sony just announced the new PS3 slim this morning. I am excited for the announcement of it. But heck, can it not look so crap? Its like a very old console man. Like those from the 80s. I cant show you guys the photos now. Internet has been shaped. So just google it. It'll turn up. Lets just hope when I get it this year the fat would still be around. Or I think i'm going second-hand. End of rant.

Science
I was watching Bones last night. And some of the comments that they made is rather interesting. Well, the episode was about the murder of a top researcher at a particular college. The motto of the college goes something like this. To Eternity, To *something*, to the future. They argue that science is about researching and studying for the future. Deeming anything that has to do with studying the pass such as carbon dating artifacts, Paleontology and so on, not a field science at all.
Since high school, they have thought us that the definition of Science is "The study of natural phenomena". In short, anything under the sun or anything above the sun for that matter is but a science in its own right. So is science suppose to be up and forward, or should science be in all directions?
Personally, I somewhat agree with what the show has to say. Up and forward. To the future and beyond. Feels so much like Buzz Lightyear's saying from Toy Story "To infinity and beyond!!!". If science wasnt about the future, I doubt that we as human beings would become what we are now. Computers, mobile phones and so on. Its all because scientist are obsessed with the future. Bigger harddisk space, smaller mobile phones, faster ram, farther out into space. Its all about the future. Space exploration is part of what Science should be. You may ask why would it be? Simply because space exploration can show us so many new things. Maybe we can mine meteorites in space? Maybe we can live on another planet? It possibility are endless. Science is all about these. The future and space.
Paleontology and carbon dating as such is just about the past. What has happened before. The origins of life, how old a certain artifact is. Its about the past. It doesnt improve humanities lifestyle at all. It just gives answers to questions that has been asked for generations. Like carbon dating. Its about identifying what timeline a certain artifact belongs to, so that it can be more well placed in human history. Because of this, I would believe that carbon dating is a subset of History. Paleontology is to figure out what happened to the great dinosaurs and so on. Is it necessary for our daily life? Not exactly, It answer questions. Not give us a more comfortable life.
In short, I agree with what the show has voiced out for us. Science should be about the future and beyond. Not the past. So what do you think folks?

You guys are officially OBB(Orang Bodoh Bodoh)
I just saw the news that Science and Maths would be reverted back to be teaching in BM rather than English. This is one of the most biggest bullshit ever. If you want your country to increase their English proficiency, then why do such a thing? Its hell bullshit man. Re-introducing English Literature and have classes on grammar and composition? That wont make a difference people. People we just take those subjects as a useless subject like how History and Moral is now. Wake up man. How come out country is being run by a bunch of idiots. Especially the Educational department. And we want to be a modern country by 2020. Fat chance.
Keep up the good work guys, keep up the good work.

R.I.P Michael Jackson
Not a big fan of Michael Jackson. I can probably say I am not a fan at all. Dont even like his song. But I must admit that he has changed the music industry greatly. Being one of the first Black singer to penetrate the US market. He also invented some incredible dance moves. Moonwalk anyway? Anyway. He just died. At the age of 50. RIP.
Thats all.
PS. ELACS in 30 minutes. Wish me luck.

Definition of Mr^Blue~
Was sitting in the bust today while on the way home and this came into my mind. What defines Mr^Blue~? Or more specifically. What defines me? As in what makes me who I am? What characteristics do I have that makes me special? The ones that you can tell its me if there was a clone of me running around trying to pretend to be me. Been thinking about it. I have some ideas as to what makes me. Me. Not sure if everyone would agree or not. But its what I think it is. So leave a comment if you dont agree and say why. Thanks.
First off, I am loyal to my friends. Those that I am close to, I am willing to go to any lengths to help them when they are in need. Sometimes its probably a bit over for a friend. But heck. Thats what makes me tick. I've helped someone pay for something he cant. I've sent various friends home although its not on the way. I've helped check friend's Uni assignments late into the night although I am still in College. Sometimes, I think I treat friends better than family. I guess my circle of friends is a part of the defining me.
Another thing is probably my religion. I can say I am religious. My faith is what keeps me going day by day. Fellowships during weekends is something that I look forward to everyday. Sunday worship is a time when I feel at peace. I must be honest. If not for my religion. I probably wouldnt be here typing these words here right now. There are lots of time when life jus feels too much to bear. Too much stress. Too much expectations to meet. Too much of everything. But thank God, I still have him. He helped me through a lot of things. For that I am thankful He brought me into a Christian family.
I like to get myself busy with various activities. Before, in school. Concert, Prefect, Orientation. I've all been involved. I enjoy being involved in them. In the planning. The execution. And finally seeing everything come into perfection. Where every tiredness and stress pays off. Its actually my secret ambition to be an Event Manager. Managing events like concerts, weddings or better yet, game launch parties. Wonder would that happen? Time will tell.
Technology is something that can be closely labeled with me. I love technology. Computers(Macs only), phones, game consoles or anything technology. I love them. I like to read up on the latest news of anything happening in the tech world. I like to be updated on the latest game releases for every single console that I own or dont own. I like to drool on things that is too expensive for me to buy. Me and technology. We are so fit for each other.
"Warriors of the night assemble!!!" Famous quote by Priestess of the Moon of my favorite computer games of all. DotA!!!!! I really like this particular game. No idea why, but its the only game that can keep me hooked on for so long. Been playing it for at least 3 years already. Woah. Thats seriously long. I've seen the imba lifesteal Naix, the cant-kill-anything Storm Spirit and the boring old razor who just chain lightnings. Favorite heroes are Luna, Vengeful Spirit and Rogue Knight(Love the new one).
I am also an avid follower of eSports. Electronic Sports, the very young industry yet having a bright future at the same time. In particular, I am interested in the discipline of DotA. I follow the news of all major tournaments. I follow the news of all team disbandment or pick-ups. Ask me which team a certain player plays for. I am sure to be able to tell you. I'm particularly interested in the Malaysian DotA team and its sub-divisions. Kingsurf.Dota, Kingsurf.International and Kingsurf.China. Hope my application to be a reporter for them becomes reality.
Last but not least, I am an avid gamer. I like to play games. And unlike most DotAians. I do play other games. Not PC games though. Console games. I own a DS, two PSPs and one Wii. The PS3 is coming soon. Look my DS. Touch screen pawns them all. Hard to spread the love sometimes. Hehe. Favorite genre of games is of course. RPGs. Like to explore the virtual land and discover new virtual things. Only RPGs can keep me hooked for hours at ends.
Thats me, from my point of view. Agree or not? Up to you to decide. I might update this if i think there is more to me than those above. Please comment. Thanks for reading. And I am out.

On-stage or backstage?
Given a choice to be a performer on-stage or a stagehand backstage. Which would you choose? I suppose most if not all would choose to be the performer on-stage rather than backstage. More glamor and fame. Personally, I would choose to be a stagehand. The one who helps silently at the back, supporting the show.
Why would i chose to be a stagehand at the back rather than a performer on-stage? I guess its how I am. I was never good at music, dance or any artistic performance that warrants a show on-stage. The times I have appeared on stage can be easily counted with my ten fingers. With that, I have always been involved in the backstage productions. With all those experience and so on, I felt that the stagehands are more important that the performers. I suppose some people would say that this argument is something like the chicken and egg argument. Which came first?
Any performer without the stagehands cannot perform to their fullest. In contrast, any stagehand can make the performance spectacular. From my time as my former school concert's logistics member to vice group leader and then leader. I have always held on to this fact. Can the drama go on with the logistics group? Or the PA? Can the brassband sit correctly? Can the choir stand properly? No. It has always been a no.
One thing I have to admit though, being a stagehand isnt the best. Theres lots of request to fulfill. Some very ridiculous. Theres also a lot sweat due to the heat backstage. Theres also the prospect that you will be scolded for your efforts. Theres also the probability that no one would thank you for your effort. Truth be told, its a hard job. But its worthwhile to see all your efforts in that one spectacular moment on stage.
Thats what I think anyway. All for now. See ya dudes.

Happenings
I find that theres a huge gap between my post nowadays. I'm posting like one article per week, which is rather sad. lol. Anyway, heres some random updates on happenings around me.
-Just found out Susan is going over to Labuan for Matriculation. Rather surprised by this to be honest. Cause well, going for Matriculation is like being trained to be half Muslim. Knowing how Susan is like, its a real wonder why she would chose to go. However, it is a good thing. That way she can have a better future. All the best.
-Melo became so emo due to Susan's leaving. No surprise there. Miss Emo. Hehe. Dont kill me. Hehe. You still got your dear and laopo. Theres like lots of your other "hubbies" too.
-Got 18/20 for my Oral presentation. Stupid Tawsif made my group lose one mark due to referencing. Tawsif got like 19/20. I lost one mark for my timing. Was suppose to talk for just 5 minutes. Ended up being 10 minutes and 50 seconds for mine. Ouch.
-Have a rough idea on what I wanna study next year. Hope its the right choice I make. It aint going to be easy. But I'll preserve. Double degree with Accounting and Software Engineering. Bring it on baby. Gotta study study study.
-Semester exams end of June. Gonna try and score high on my Computer Science, Applicable Maths and Physics. Try and do somewhat ok in my Chemistry. Stupid exams.
-Aunt is coming over here next week. Uncle is planning to buy a house here, so she is here to take a look too. Dont really care if they come or not also. Hehe.
-Got my Computer Science assignment on Hardware back. Got 31/35. Not bad eh? Was suppose to be 29.5/35. But my lecturer must have forgotten to turn the last page when she was tallying up the marks for my assignment. Went and told her and she gave me the 1.5 marks. Computer Science is going to help me so much in my final score this year end. Muahahahha.
Thats all the things that I can think of. Till next time. See ya dudes.

Five brothers, Three locations, One God
Memories long written in the hearts of many. Buried deep in the depth of people, only to be taken out and reflect and cherish upon. As i sit here in front of the computer at 11.30PM(Perth is fast by one hour due to Daylight Savings) after reading my brothers' Sian and Yap's blog. I begin to ponder upon the teenage life i had.
My teenage life? What can i say about it? Its probably going to be the phase of my life that I will remember and hold so dear to my heart once i grow old. Its the phase that I am most proud of. I can pretty much say I had a really uninteresting childhood. No playing with marbles, no catching fish in the sewers. None of them. Just tuition, and watching TV. But when i turned 12 and starting to go to my church's Teenage Fellowship. My life started to be more interesting, more fun.
It is here during my time at this teenage fellowship that i met them. Who are they? If you've read my last post. You can probably guess. My four brothers and me. There was once only four. Now five in total. We had so much fun during this short five years of our lives. Six for me. It is here we found the true meaning of fellowship. What is to serve our one and only God with happiness.
Sometimes, I wonder. How would I be like if I my dad dint ask me to join this fellowship in the first place? I would probably have wasted my time all around time. Going to cyber cafes and so on. But instead, i made a choice. A choice i have never ever forget. To devote my Saturdays to him, and his fellowship. During this period, i have learnt a great deal. How to lead a committee in meeting. How to solve problems that shouldnt be a problem in the first place and so on. Its a great experience and a great preparation for real life.
I remember clearly how this brotherhood of ours started. It started with four. This is how it started. It was a Saturday afternoon like any other, fellowship at church. The activity was Bao Jian Chao Lian or Kang Le. We were divided into four groups. Somehow, the four of us, Josh, Sian, Yap and Me were all split into different groups. Then, the person in charge told us to chose a group leader in each of the group. By God's grace, each group chose each four of us. We all took turns standing up to indicate that we were the group leaders. After the last one, it was Josh i think. Rui Yi said something along the lines "Shi Da Tian Wang" which means Four Kings. With that, this brotherhood of ours was formed.
During our time, this brotherhood was held closely together. We did everything together. Sang choir, had Sunday School together and the list goes on and on. But soon after, a few years back. We added another to this brotherhood. Making it five. Chee Enn. How did we add him? I am not really sure. But we just did. He is part of us now. The five kings. You could see all of us almost everytime in all of the church's big events. Helping out no matter how small the matter is.
But now, our of the five. Three remain in Miri. The other two. Left to further their studies. Although we may have been separated. Theres one thing i am certain about. That this brotherhood still holds strong in each of our hearts. Another thing is that although we are in three different places, one thing is still very common among all of us. We are all still serving the one true God we know in the places we are in. Josh, Sian and Enn are still active in MGC Pujut where I have come to love. Yap is in KL's Panda Church serving too. And me, the guy in Perth. Worshiping and going to fellowships at BPCWA(Bible-Prebetaryian Church of Western Australia).
This this title was born. Five brothers, Three locations, One God. So very true. With this, I want to give a shout out to my brothers.
To Sian the short one: Stay strong, your not the only one with problems. Family is what you have and what is most precious when you stop and think.
To Josh the strong one: I know your looking strong for everyone. I cant say much. Just Good Luck and God would not forsake you,
To Yap the quiet one: I know this probably doesnt sound much. But study the best you can, even by then you still cant get good results. You know you've done your best.
To Enn the chicken-like one: Good luck in your STPM this year. I may say that you fail it all the time, but i dont really mean it. I sincerely hope that you would get great results.

Memories
Been in Perth for over a month now. If you ask how I feel? Rather lonely sometimes. New people, new environment, new life. Although I have new friends and so on. I still miss the ones back at home. Miss my church Brothers. Those are some of the best memories i ever had. "Memories", this is how i name the photos i take on my phone. Cause every single photo i take are all my memories. The ones that i cherish close to heart. Being here, i sometimes look at all the photos i have in my album and so on. Its heartwarming to relive some of those memories that i wrote in my own personal history textbook. The one about me. Here. I'll share some of the ones that brings back lots of the memories I have.
Ah. The teenage missionary trip. After the jungle trekking. I was rewarded by Vincent. With a Fu Ying car. lolz. Anyway, the missionary trip was great. I get to see how to live with less. Yet, be more in many other ways. Its just a very great experience.
Aint this cool? Sian bought them for us. Each the initial of each of us brothers' initial. S for sian, T for me, G for yap, J for Josh and E for Chicken.

The very big bunch of prefects of 2007/2008. I sure miss my time of service. But what to do? Its all over. Have fun to the new batches.
This is a more recent photo. It was taken during the Church's Graduation Camp. Was playing an outdoor game. Guess what it is? Realy life dota. Hehe. It was so fun man. Wish to play it again.
I almost forgot we took this photo. This is me, and my other four brothers of MGC Pujut. Since entering secondary school and joining the teenage fellowship. We have been together. Until now, three are still in Miri serving God with unwavering heart. One is in KL studying the be an Engineer. And me, the farthest of them all. Studying dont know what.
This is the 15th Duan Xun students' graduation ceremony photo. I should be in there. But because i came here to study. I had to leave early and not able to finish the whole course. It was a hectic course for me. But i dont regret joining at all. The fellowship time i had with them is something i would never give up for.
The discipline department where i served as prefect for the year 2007/2008. Being in the discipline department has really opened my eyes to a lot things. How to manage those people wont arent making any sense at all. How to work with other prefects to push towards the same goal and so on. It was the best time ever.
The discipline department during the Prefect Camp. Aint we just great?
Hui Ing, Suk Sin and me. We call ourselves the three musketeers of the discipline department because we work well with each other. Dont know why. But we just do. When i heard i was in the discipline department, i never knew i would like it so much. But after a while, i think its one of the best and most special department among the whole Prefectorial Board. Hei, which other department reports directly to a teacher-in-charge?
Concert2008. This is Tony,Jai Seng, Choon Man and Me. We are the proud yet quietly serving Logistics Leader. Choon Man was under me and Jai Seng was Tony's. These two juniors we have. I can just say, they are great. Both have become the top of the prefectorial board 2008/2009. Jai Seng being the Councillor for the Discipline Department, while Choon Man is now the Assistant head prefect. I am proud of you guys. Dont forget your mentor. Hehe.
This is again. The three musketeers. Dont we look great together? Hehe. I mean in a good way. Dont think so much. Hehe.
This is probably the only time you would see me like this. This was taken during MGC Pujut's Teenage fellowship's 20th anniversary's celebration. I was dancing. Yes. Dancing. thats the first and last time you would see me dancing. No more chance. Hehe.
Thats all i can stand to post. Eyes hurt. Hehe. Anyway, have fun looking. Maybe i would do another next time. See ya peeps.

Hobby
Everyone has a hobby, whether is collecting stamps, collecting coins, watching TV, sleep or even shopping. Everyone is bound to have something that he/she likes to do and enjoy doing it. And well, my hobby if you havent already guess from my blog is non other than..... Gaming.
Parents say my hobby is expensive. Friends say my hobby is wasteful and i am a "Pai Jai Zi". I really really hate people saying this. Ok, i'll admit that gaming is an expensive hobby. Especially if your an original gaming supporter like me. That i can accept. But if you say its wasteful. I really dont like it. Come on,. some people spend hundreds and even thousands of dollars on something like a car part for their car modding. I just spend 150 on a DS game. A car part will break down eventually and you would need to shell out more money to replace it. But with a DS game, i can clock in at least 50 hours for it. And i can sell it with a decent price once i have finished it. Isnt it more worth it than modding a car?
I guess its probably the mind-set of Malaysian also. Piracy is like part of life here. Its extremely hard to buy original games or DVDs easily. People would argue why should i buy a RM150 game, while i can just download it off the internet. Downloading doesnt even cost a total of RM10. Sure that may be true. But heck, you like the game. Go buy it, support the game company they made it. They might just make some better and cooler games for you to play.
Its hard for an ori game supporter like me. Every of them in fact. Its so hard to get a decent pricing on console games here. But guess i'll just have to do my bit to support them. As for my hobby. Seriously, dont critize me about it. You can say i have an expensive hobby. But never say i should spend my money on something else. Its my money, so shut up on how i use it.

Knowledge and Wisdom
Knowledge and Wisdom. Two words which are similar in meaning, yet mean totally different things. An old man with no education since young can have zero knowledge of the world, yet he can have a wealth of wisdom in him. Likewise, a person with a degree, pHd or any other high level education certificate can have lots of knowledge of the world, and yet, be poor in wisdom.
Wisdom is the understanding of how to treat people, things and the environment properly. In short, wisdom teaches you the virtues of life. Be fair to people, love the environment and so on. Wisdom can only be obtained through experiences in life. Through the daily routine of interacting with people. It can be thaught from one person to another, but i can never be learnt through the books we see everyday.
Knowledge is but the understanding of how our world works. Why do plants need sunlight to survive? How can fish survive in water? The quest to understand anything and everything about our small small world. These knowledge although important, but if not used right. Can be deadly. Just to the opposite of wisdom. Knowledge can be thaught from one person to another, and it can also be learnt through the thousands of books we find lying all around us.
How does these two things affect us? In a big way. Those who have great knowledge, yet no wisdom on how to use it can cause great havoc on this world. Those who have great wisdom, but lacks knowledge can still make this world a better place by teaching the great virtues of life. A balance of both is the best anyone can hope for.
As humanity's search for greater knowledge about outer space, about nano particles continue. May we pause and think. Do we need all these knowledge? Does all these contribute to the greater good of the world? May we discard all those that is unneeded and strive for better.
With this i end my post by leaving a quote i thought myself
"Knowledge can be learnt through books, but Wisdom can only be learnt through the experiences in life."
