The End

As the clock starts slowly ticking down. Every student in class eyes the second hand of the clock move slowly yet surely. Second by second. Then, as fast as it started. The second hand struck 12 and the whistle goes off. The students all give out a big roar of excitement. Yes folks. Its THE END. The End of our dreaded SPM. The day we Form 5 students are looking forward to the most. The day all stress and worries have been taken off from our shoulder.

Well, to be fair. Its just only ended for those science stream students who did not take up account. Those who do, ends only on 1st December. As for the Art side. They end at 4th December.

Boy, was it a crazy ending. Before the start of EST paper 1. Jeen Yan's gang, the FBI (Female Body Investigator) all reverse parked into the road leading into the hall. A total of 10 cars if not mistaken. The scene was hell cool. When everyone came down. All went to their respective cars. And then, on the count of 3. All started honking like mad. That was seriously fun man. The noise. The happiness. So fun. I was honking too. Hehe.

Anyway, its over. What do i have to say? Nothing much. Its just over. Can relax for 1 month more. Then, i will be off to Perth. I'll miss it here. My dear, my family, my brothers in church, my friends, my bed and many many more. Bah, enough with all that emoing. I'm off now. Cyaz

10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2...............

Countdown. Countdown to my birthday, countdown to my bro coming back. Thats some of the countdowns you can see from people's nick and so on. As for now, people would be counting down to the end of our dreaded SPM exams. One all form 5 students are waiting for. All waiting for it to end. A countdown symbolizes that you have something to look forward to. A hope that something will happen after the countdown. Your birthday, your dearest brother coming back. All of these give you a hope of something.

As i said, alot of Form 5 students are looking forward to finish our SPM. Some earlier than others. Some later. They all have plans for their after-exam parties or events. A few days ago, i was looking forward to it too. Looking forward to everything finishing so that i can buy a PS3. Something that i have been looking forward to for over a year liao. But now, after what my mum said. I dont think i will be getting it. As with my previous post. My mum and aunt is not allowing me to bring my PS3 over. The said its cause they want me to study. But i believe there are other reasons behind.

If i was to buy and play it until i go over to Australia. I would only have one month plus to play with it. Thats why i have decided not to get it. Its a very hard choice that i have to live with. And its a choice that i rather not make. But what to do? Two people are forbidding me from bringing it. And i'd rather not enjoy it than enjoying it for a brief period of time. So there goes my countdown to the end of my SPM. The hope to finish my SPM to finish faster. The event i am hoping after my SPM. All gone.

As of now, i have absolutely nothing to look forward to for finishing my SPM. Sure i would want it to end. But its just the same to me now. Nothing special about ending it. No hope. No countdown. No nothing.

Dilemma.

Ever had something plan long beforehand, but in the end the plan can never go according to plan? Know how that feels like? Yeah, i feel seriously like that. As some may know. I've already planned to get a PS3 long long ago. Heck, i've even done the calculations as when i should do the bank in for it and everything. Timing it so i would get it on the exact day i finish my SPM.

Things happened and i can say i do not know that i should buy the PS3 or not. Heres a low down on what happened.

1. I already bought the games i wanted to play on my future PS3
2. Older sister got scammed of RM680
3. Younger sister getting straight As in UPSR, asking for a new phone
4. Aunt and mum doesnt want me to bring my PS3 over if i want to buy it

No. 1 is still very much tolerable as i can still keep the games in mint condition and keep it as my collection. Who knows they might be worth more in the future. No. 2 and 3 are basically just financial problems, but I can pretty much solve that by finding a second hand seller. Which i already have. No. 4 is the bigger problem. Put it this way, if i buy the PS3 and not bring it over. I would only have a max enjoyment time of lets say 1 month. Whats the point then? Thats the biggest dilemma of them all. Give me some comments on what you guys think for those who do read my blog. I need all the advice i can get. Thankz for reading.

Kingsurf won!!!!!!

Buyeah. Kingsurf won!!!!!! Kingsurf won the Farm 4 Fame round 3. Woot. They were up against a strangely named European team Mom Equals Toilet. If you ask me, their team name is a bit how should i say insulting the great moms all around the world. Dont really like the team name. Anyway. The finals was a Best of 3 match. Kingsurf won 2 to 1. Means they won the first match. Lost the second and won the third. Very nice. Congrats to Kingsurf. Honestly, i dint think they would get this far for an online tournaments giving the lag issue and delay. Heard the ping for Kingsurf was 350. Woah man. 350 thats very high, i'm already having problems playing on 100+ ping and they can play on 350. Respect man. Respect.

Dont have much to add about it so see ya peeps.

BTW, SPM in 4 days.

Malaysian team in for finals in Farm 4 Fame 3

Wasnt really expecting this. But despite all odds. Our Malaysian DotA team will definitely be going to the finals for Farm 4 Fame 3. Its either team Kingsurf or ucpro-tbun`w4sl will represent team Malaysian to the Finals. Well, this tournament isnt about representing your country anyway. But, the fact that Kingsurf and ucpro-tbun`w4sl will be fighting out for a spot in the finals leaves a spectacle to behold. They will be going against a name strangely named as Mom equals Toilet. Very strange name indeed.

What i wasnt really expecting was that Kingsurf could beat out MYM during the prelimanaries. Kingsurf is a good team, but due to connection issues. We normally lose in online games. KS-hyhy even said the ping during that game was 250. 250 man. Thats freaking high. And considering on MYM's part, the connection should be alot better. Also note that MYM placed second in F4F 2. Another amazing thing is that ucpro-tbun`w4sl was also able to beat out mousesports. Again due to connection issues. Very amazing indeed. Mousesports was the champion for both F4F 1 and F4F 2.

Anyway, thats all i can say about both teams. Great achievement for the DotA teams of Malaysian. Means a guaranteed 3rd place finishing for Malaysia. But we cant be content with 3rd right? Hehe. Aim for 1st!!!! I'm hoping Kingsurf would win. But either way, good luck to both teams.

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."

Bitten by a Lachesis

Ouch it hurts. I have just been bitten by a Lachesis. What is a Lachesis you may ask? Its the largest pit viper in the world. Oddly enough, i'm enjoying being bitten. Hurts, but enjoyable. But wait, its not really the snake that bit me. Its the new gaming mouse i got. The Razer Lachesis. Where does it hurt you may ask? The wallet. Man is it painful. The thing cost me RM200+. Ouch.

Short introduction to Razer. Razer is a company which makes premium gaming equipments for professional gamers worldwide. I know some of you may think, Professional gamers? Theres such a thing? Mind you, there is, and they get paid for playing games. Professional gamers are the athletes of the new era of sports-eSports. Razer makes professional gaming keyboards, mouses, sound cards and headsets. Their products are very well-made and very expensive. Your paying for what you buy, so I'm not that fussy. Hehe.

Anyway, like I said, I got a Razer gaming mouse. The Lachesis, its the best mouse in the current product portfolio of Razer. Whats so special about it? Well, for one thing. It has 9 keys on the mouse alone. 9 keys man. How many does yours have? Hehe. Another thing is the DPI, it has sensitivity which you can adjust up to 4000 DPI. Normal mouses have less than 1000 DPI if not mistaken. Another feature that i like is the Profile selection. You can customize what all the 9 keys of the mouse can do, and you can set specific profiles for specific programs. Like when i launch FireFox, I have one button which goes back a page, a button which opens another tab, and another which refreshes the page. Very cool. Expensive, but worth it.

EDIT: Forgot to add the part where i got the mouse pad too. Well, i originally wanted to get the Destructor gaming mouse pad, which is the preferred mouse pad for the Lachesis from what i saw on the Razer website. But my mum got an eXactmat instead. Still cool either way. The eXactMat is great too. It has two surfaces. The X Control for low sensitivity games such as DotA and Starcraft, another surface is the X Speed for high sensitivity games such as CS. What i like about it, is that it comes with a handrest with memory comformance. Meaning the handrest will change its shape according to you wrist and it wont change shape unless you delibrately squeeze it. Another thing which i like is they made the pad so that it has these "feet" on them. They keep the pad in its position so that it doesnt move about when you are gaming.

That should be all about the Lachesis and eXactMat for now. Now i shall poison everyone with some photos of my Lachesis and eXactMat. Next target: Razer Lycosa Mirror edition gaming keyboard. After my PS3 and laptop that is.
