Prologue

12-2 am :

Played a couple pub games with Aiman and Lut. Supposedly, I need to sleep early so because tomorrow I need to get up early. But then I found out that, the MYM Pride #8 Grand Finals was gonna start in a few while. Without thinking further, I decided to stay up and watch the matches.

2-6 am:

The first game commenced around 3 something and I watch the stream on GGTV. Sadly enough the game was a reload, the replay was only around 6-7 minutes :(. Little did I know that the match was gonna be very very very very interesting. It was certainly the best match I've watched so far. VP were very imba with their gankings (as always), and they established quite a convincing lead.

By 24th minutes, all off VP already had a blink dagger. And I thought, "Damn... MYM's finished". MYM was having a hard time farming, and not even one of them had blink at that time. The first hero for them to buy a blink was Tiny at around the 27th minute (I think).

Another problem is that MYM picked Dazzle, and he seemed to be feeding like hell, and he's doing all the warding. He never got any real items until very late in the game. But in the end, it turns out that the Dazzle was the crucial factor in MYM's first game win against VP.

Yes, MYM won the first game, to my surprise o_O. Dazzle's ulti ensured that Centaur Warchief, PotM and Tiny had the minimum of gold lost. Even though they died quite a number of times, they died when they got the Shallow Grave buff on them. That three heroes had only like 3 digits of gold lost by the end of the game. wtf.

Centaur in the end farmed up all the necessary items needed to carry the team, so did PotM and Tiny. MYM's damage output during the late game was too much for VP too handle. Even though VP lay the own early game, they never managed to push far into MYM's base, as Dazzle's ulti ensured that the three mentioned heroes revived fast to defend. MYM|Mania's Tiny was quite awesome with his tosses ^_^.

The 2nd game was as intriguing as the first. MYM opted for a fast push strat - with Pugna soloing mid and with Tiny and Leshrac in their lineups - the three of them can get rid of towers fast with their spells. The Nether Ward was quite crucial in the game, as without it, MYM's pushes would almost certainly means fail. By 25th minutes, MYM broke VP mid base tower. They didn't get to break any raxes though. The hero kill score were quite even for both teams.

And then MYM started to lose ground approaching mid game. In an attempt to push Vp's bottom 2nd tier tower, MYM's Pugna seemed like he turned off for a while. VS swapped him before he could get his Nether Ward out, and he was killed. And then, one by one, the rest of MYM were also killed - with Admiration's Sven being the DPSer that did most the damage to MYM. In the end, MYM fast push strat failed as they couldn't push any further because as they tried, VP's Sven wipe them off easily with BKB + GS. That Sven got a couple of DKs and TKs and eventually was Godlike. Though, many would say that Sven was the deciding factor in this game, I do not. Even though, she has been ineffective in recent matches, VP brought back Vengeful Spirit and her initiation with Swap + Stun proved to be crucial in killing the Pugna. gg wp.

6-10 am:

Before I slept, I left a message in my status on ym saying that I slept at 6 and don't wake me up. I also wrote there asking my friends to go buy the BBQ things first before waking me. I slept like a log. But, at 10 am, they were already at my front gate. wtfwtfwtf >_>.

The Journey...

10 am - 12.30 pm

They woke me up at last, and it was very very annoying. Even more annoying because of Betty's loud voice T_T. I asked them to wait and got ready. We then went to NZ and met up with Safiq who's been waiting there for about 1 hour+. rofl. Afterwards, the rest of the boys came to meet us. Next stop was supposed to be Carrefour. But I forgot to bring my BBQ set, so Aiman drove me back to my house to pick it up. We also had to pick up Ghani. Though, we found him at the AU4 vicinity, already halfway walking. We then went to take the BBQ set from my house and then went straight to Carrefour where we bought all the stuff we needed.

12.30 pm - 12.50 pm

We stop at the petrol kiosk to fill up and bought some tidbits for the journey.

En routeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee................. Peace!

12.50 pm onwards

We started our journey. Aiman repeated so many times to the other two who's driving to follow him, because we were going there using a different route. But we got separated because they took the wrong lane. We had to park the car to the side of the road to wait for them. Hamdan turned back and met up with us at 1.18 pm. Pejal took the PLUS highway. We arrived at the border at 2 pm and arrived at the vicinity of PD by half an hour later. And after that, errrrr............. I lost track of the time. lul.

8 guys staring out to the other end...

We arrived at a beach, and reserved a spot. There's 2 goalposts there too :D, to our excitement. We got all our things out from the car and got everything ready for the BBQ. Since Pejal didn't follow the same route as us, he arrived at the beach later. We then started to light up the BBQ. And I was the one that had to made the fire, since everyone else is so lazy >_>. So, we exchanged shift after once in a while - when some went to take a swim, some took care of the BBQ. We had great fun there. We played football for a little bit, but it was quite painful since Nazwan brought a futsal ball, and to play it on the sands was a pretty dumb idea. But all in all, we still had a fun time there, we certainly had great laughs.

zomg! Chickens$#%@!!!!

Zzzzzz.....

7.00 pm - 8.30 pm

After we had clean ourselves up at the showers, we tidy up the BBQ spot and kept all our belongings back in the car. Since it was dusk, me and Aiman went to the beach for one last time and took several pictures. After all of us were ready, we took off. But, we then had to stopped at a night market because Betty wanted to buy something for his mom. Haizzz. We got out for a while, and a few minutes later, me, Lut, Aiman, and Safiq got back in our car. We still had to wait for a while before Betty finally finished buying, or whatever he was doing. Then we head of again. All of us this time used the PLUS highway, as it would be the safer option to go back home at night.

8.30 pm onwards

Face of the year hands down.. wtf Acap... -_-

I slept during the journey back, but was woken up by Aiman and Safiq. The guys stopped at an R&R. wtf -_-. I stayed in the car while the rest when for a quick drink. We carried on our journey back after they had finished. I re-slept again during the whole journey and woke up when we arrived in the vicinity of AU4, just before we reached Lut's. Aiman dropped Lut at his house, then Safiq and finally me. The time was prolly 10.30 pm or something, couldn't recall. Man was I exhausted. I thought I would have slept upon arriving home, but that was never the case. I was caught up with a few things, and only slept around 3 am. gg.

Memories of 22/12/2007

/end

Big Bang Sunday

"the granddaddy of drinks :P"

Liverpool 0-1 Man Utd

Nothing beats this rivalry. Tight game. In the first half, chances came mostly from the Merseysiders. But almost at the end of the first half, Tevez made no mistake of scoring a goal from 5 yards. Boring 2nd half. Can't remember many other actions in the game. But one thing really caused me concern. Which is Van Der Sar's perfomance. Don't know if it's just me, but he looks very clumsy in this game for some reason >_>. If we were to lose this game, I'm sure he was the one who'd most likely contributed to it T_T.

"is he watching or posing >_>"

Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea

So Arse still at the top. Another quite tight game, but there's quite a number of chances by both team. Gallas scored a great header, also at the end of the first half. Arsenal were definitely the better team in this match. Their passes and counter-attack moves were quite superb and even one of the Premiership best defensive club in the shape of Chelsea were having a hard time defending. Arsenal deserved their win I guess, though admitting it was something hard to muster. Zzzz.

"the meals, and yeah my DS in Zim's hands :D"

Long day...

Saturday 15/12/2007...

Went to KL today. Too tired to write anything now. Later I update. zzz

-----------------

So, I woke up around 7.00 a.m. after only 5 hours+ of sleep and then went to class after shower and all. Classes on Saturday are tiring. Sweat -_-. So, after finished classes, I got back home and get ready to go KL with my friends. Well, only one and a half hour later Aiman arrived to pick me up. While waiting for him to come, I managed to watch one GGTV match - MYM vs VP first match (gg by VP). So, Aiman picked me up around 2 o'clock and we went to pick up our friends that wanted to tag along. But, in Aiman's car, there's already 5 person (Me, Aiman, Pitot, Kamil, Iqbal), so there's no space for 3 more (there's Betty ffs..!). So, Zim, Lut and Firdaus a.k.a. Betty had no choice but to take the cab to the LRT station. Moving on, we detour to Carrefour for awhile because Man wanted to take his new spectacles.

We finally went to the Wangsa Maju LRT station. The people who queued to buy tickets were quite a lot, and since the other three haven't arrived yet, we decided to buy the tickets for them also. We still had to wait for a while for the three to arrive after Pitot had bought the tickets. And when they arrived, we then ride the LRT. We stopped at Dang Wangi and took the monorail to BB. First stop, was the New Era office at Menara Keck Seng. Going there to get my prize cheque for getting 3rd place in a recent WE tourney at Subang Parade :D. But, sadly the office was closed on Saturday :(.

So, we then went straight to Lowyat because Man wanted to find a replace to repair his lappy (white screen - which all of us came to a conclusion that it happens because he watches way too much of a certain something rofl! :P). Other than that, Kamil wanted to buy a CPU and the rest just wanted to window shopping :D. We took the price lists from shops and survey prices for Kamil. Man went to two shops and to no avail, both shop said the price to repair his screen is around RM800-RM900. We then went to an Acer retailer and he asked them to check whether he still have warranty for his lappy. They asked him to go to a certain place at Times Square, 9th floor. So, we had another place to go next. Bal wanted to buy an external hard disk first, so we head out to find a shop that sells it. But suddenly, he was separated from the 7 of us. LOL.

"Dalam lif pn sempat lg bergambar"

We then make our way to TS, hoping that he will contact us and meet us there instead. So, we got to the 9th floor of TS and me and Man entered the shop - well, not exactly a shop, it's a place for repairing lappy's or something. The person in the counter checked Man's laptop and he was happy to be told that it still had the warranty. So, free repair for his lappy. We then went bowling.

(Before we bowled, I called Shafiq Hashim, a.ka. Shafiq Pressure, and arranged a 5v5 with his team. Around that moment, Bal SMS'ed his cousion, Man, and told that he was going home because he needs to do something. We thought he was 'touching' because we left him there at Lowyat, but we found later that that was not it. LOL.)

"Shafiq ohhh shafiq, aku nk pawn ko"

"sempat lg berposing"

So, 5 of us played (Lut and Zim didn't) and Betty won it with 111 points. 2nd was Aiman with 110, lol. 3rd was Kamil, I think, with 85 and next was Pitot with 84. Last place was... :( Anyways, thanks to Betty for treating us with the game. :D

"nice car"

Then, finally Kamil decided to buy his CPU, so he took out his money, and we went to Lowyat again. We found a shop that offered a good price for a CPU, with quite good specs, and he bought it. We were told by the shop guy that it'll be ready around 1/2 - 1 hour. We decided to eat first to kill the remaining time. Went back to Sg Wang's McD, and had Double Cheeseburger (it's been a while :P). Time was running out for us really. We arranged the match to be played at 9.30 p.m., but it was already 9 when we finished eating.

"prize giving ceremony rofl"

We rushed and retrieved Kamil's stuff from the shop and headed straight for the monorail. When we switched to take the LRT at Dang Wangi, we faced quite a problem. It was very damn packed. When the first train arrived, we had no choice but to wait for the next, as we couldn't get on it. The next arrived, and the same thing - it was full. Even when we were first in line, we still couldn't get on. Sigh. There were 7 of us, and stupid ideas came about. From farting to send all passengers out, to taking the train the other way and then ride back to the original route. Trains were few and far between - around 10-15 minutes in between each train. That was long as fuck.

We missed another few trains when finally we decided to rush in no matter what. We sort of make a formation - Zim and Pitot had already taken the train that went the other route, Kamil, Betty and Lut took the same train as me and Man, but they entered from different entrance. So, when the train came again, it was still damn full. It was so packed that nobody entered (nobody even got off).

Me and Man hesitated for awhile, and then he rushed in - he was carrying Kamil's CPU - and he found space to stand and put the CPU on the ground. And being quite little myself, I managed to squeeze in with the pack. We never knew what happen to the other three or the other two, but hoped that they would make it somehow. After a long, congested, out-of-breath journey, we finally arrived back at W. Maju station around 11 something. And the darndest thing happened.

Somehow, all 7 of us were on the same train - I only found out when I saw Zim and Pitot, and then saw Kamil, Betty and Lut after arriving. We made our way to the cybercafe. We contacted our opponents, and found out that they had just ordered food. So we composed ourself, and me and Man went to another cc to check up on Bal. We found out why he went off early - he had to buy his train ticket to go back Johor (I think).

After awhile, we got back to the cc to have that match against our opponents. We managed to play two games in less then 2 hours - RM3.50 was spent. First game was total ownage by, non other than, yours truly, the one and only, ME. Haha, nice QoP game - went 26/2 or something.
Next game we lost, because of lineups (it was -ar this time). There was a suspicion of 'pumping' by the other team. Ahhh but wth, I don't care that much. We'd still lose anyway. But I felt good because of the first game ownage :D. Lalalalala.

After finished, we go to the mamak stall downstairs and ate (the Nasi Lemak Ayam really owns). Bal was so generous that he treated everyone of us (because it's his last day at KL). After eating, we got back home. I arrived home at 2.00 a.m. Used my computer for awhile, browsed the internet etc. etc.. Surprisingly, my GGC mates were still online at that time. I thought of playing a game before sleeping, but tiredness pawned me. I only went to bed at 3 and most probably fell asleep at 3.15 a.m.. Haihhh. Such a long day. Had fun nevertheless. gg wp

/end

FFF

Free Food FTW. LOL.

My front neighbour is getting engaged, and we were invited to come to the engagement ceremony, and also to eat :D. Me and my brother went to Tokek's house first, because we planned to go together. Then, we go to the ceremony. When we entered our dear neighbour's yard, we greeted a couple of person, and then made our way into the house to take pictures :D. After that, we stuffed our mouths with delicious foods. LUL. Anyways, congrats to Kak Teh on the engagement.

/end

Doing something healthy for once...

Pre-match report

At long last I'm gonna be playing futsal again. 24/7 behind computer, now's the time to do something healthy. It's been more than a month since I last played, have since become very very very unfit. Sure 'pancit' later. =/ Manage to play a game of dota lol.

Post-match report

Approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes of imba tiredness and tiredness and tiredness and tiredness. My mediocre stamina attribute always gets the better of me. Anyways, when we(me, my bro and Pet) arrived in IIC, we were given the bizarre news that we didn't have any ball to play with. Wtfek -_-. We waited for around 15 - 20 minutes before someone who went to Kepong to get a ball, BUT it has no air in it -_-. So, my brother and Fadhil went to a nearby Giant to buy the ball (though Fadhil had 2nd thoughts of going with the attire he's wearing :P - but still he went). While waiting for them to get back, I played one match and weren't I exhausted after that. Felt like I could faint anytime, with what seemed like there's no oxygen in my brain =/. We rested for awhile after that.

When my bro and Fadhil came back with the new ball, we started playing again. The ball was a cheap RM15 ball, but it was for field, not for futsal. But, it's the best that we could get our hands on at that moment, so we played with the new ball. It's quit annoying though because the ball bounces so easily, whereas a proper futsal ball would bounce less frequently. Anyhow, we played a rotation system - when a team concedes 2 goals they will be considered lost, and then replaced by another team. Basically we rotate until we had enough of the game (though really, we stopped because our playing time is finished :P). It was fun. We had a great deal of laughs - from silly goalkeeping, from clashes, from crappy goals and such :D. I participated in 5-6 games, and manage to bag 3 goals and 1 assist in total. Got kicked in the stomach on one occasion -_- - was quite painful at first, but it went away later on. Ahmad was the person who suffered quite a number of clashes, he even got knee'd in the groin. Ouch :P.

After we finished, we went to a nearby restaurant to replenish our energies and also to treat our poor hungry stomaches. We dismissed later and went home. Here I am now, writing this in exhaustion. All in all, GG guys. Hope we can play futsal more often. Sleep time!

/end futsal

2nd Sem..

WEEK 1

1st Day

Woke up early, not by my phone's alarm, but by my mother's wake up call (which frustrates me, because I could have had a couple more minutes of sleep -_-). Sigh. Stayed in bed for a couple more minutes. Felt like not getting up at all. I hate first days of everything. Nervousness tends to get the better of me. Nevertheless, I got up and got myself ready for the 1st day of my 2nd semester at the International Islamic College. Before taking off, I managed to do a few things - browsed the internet and the GGC, chatted with Dar for a while, eat and drink. Then, I'm off to class.

Arrived college around 15 minutes or so after we (me and my elder brother, and yes, same college, same batch even :P) took off from home. Met my friends, and we started to ask about each other's GPA. Wasted another hour of my life while waiting for class to start. Then, when it's finally time, I entered my Structured Programming lab. A lecturer was already inside, but she was not our lecturer, just a relief for our supposed lecturer which didn't came today. She gave a brief description about the subject and explain about our carry marks. Then, we just basically did our own business in the lab - mostly by browsing the internet. Then, the stand-in lecturer gave permission to get out early, which me and my friends did. We went to the cafe and I had a drink - 'teh-o-ais' anyone? :D.

Next stop, is the Advance English 1 class. A few minutes late as usual, and my friends asked me to enter the class first. Sweat. Pushed the door open, and saw a crowded room. Thought I might have entered the wrong class, but was relieved after seeing my name in the lecturer's attendance list. He explain about the things that we'll be learning and the type of essays that we're going to be asked to write during the exams etc. etc. Then, came the dreaded introduce-yourself-to-the-lecturer session. Lucky that it was just sweet and simple, yet I was nervous a bit. Haha. Class ended after that session.

I went to ACAD next to ask about the adding and dropping of subjects. I registered too much subject for this semester and have long thought that I would never manage to balance my life and studies. Thought of dropping 2 subjects, only to be confirmed by ACAD that you must have at least 12 credits hours for a long semester. Sweat -_-. After long discussion with Hamdan, a.k.a. Shin Chan, we dropped the 2 that we decided to make our schedule the same as the rest of my DCS friends. 5 subjects this term. Hope that I can make it.

Got back early, since I have already dropped the subject that I was supposed to be attending at 2 o'clock. I asked the lecturer whether I have to attend the class since I had only drop it a few hours ago, and she said I don't have to stay. So, home I went.

Well, another first day of something. Turns out OK in the end, as always :D. Don't worry, I won't do boring posts about my everyday college life, unless if there's something interesting that I want to share. This is my first blog post and thought of nothing better to write than this. :P Hope that I will find something interesting to post in the future, improving my English at the same time. If I didn't post anything else, it must be because I'm a very lazy person. ROFL.

/end 1st

2nd Day

OK.. Woke up after an emo night yesterday (Sorry about yesterday guys, just wanted to be left alone). Move along now. I faced another problem with my college time table. The section that I wanted for the Internet Application subject is full, which means that me and Shin Chan can't be in the same class with the rest of our colleagues if we were to add that subject and we decided not to. So we discuss about our schedules, in and out of classes, hoping that we can get the optimum schedule for our studies. Finally, we decided to drop the Advance English 1 for this semester, and add Data Communication and Networking. There. 4 subjects. I will pawn surely, no doubt. :D And the best part is, everyday my classes ends at 12 o'clock. Just what I wanted and needed - more time at home. :P

/end 2nd

3rd Day

9 o'clock was my first class today, Data Communications & Networking. I just added the subject yesterday, so this was my first time going to this class. However, it's not the first time that I met the lecturer, the sweet lecturer, Miss Nor Laili Safiin taught me COA last semester, which is why I decided to take this subject. :P Structured programming was next, we finally get to meet our lecturer. So, the usual introduce yourself session, and then she taught us a bit on how to use Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0. At the same time, I was chatting with Chia Wei and Wormie on MSN during class. LOL.


So that was what she asked us to type (well, NOT exactly - I changed the greetings a bit. :P), though I have no clue of what it was. When I successfully finished doing every steps, a command prompt appear with those greetings and also "Press Any Key To Continue". Haha. Just a simple exercise. Well, she let us off early and yeah, went home afterwards.

/end 3rd

4th Day

Classes. Nothing else.

/end 4th

5th Day

DCN class. No usrah.

/end 5th

So it's been quite an uneventful first week, and I didn't expect it to be. LOL.

Posting my schedule just for fun. Can barely be seen though. :P
