"Is Maple a gay game"
is maple really a gay game? out of all the friends that spoke with me today, about 10 of them; all 10 said it was gay. so is maple a gay game actually? true, it is lame to use 1 character jump left,right,attack,quest with no ability to PK. but do they know that it is the quest that keeps the game upbeat and exicting? imagine MU. i was once addicted to MU, as with them. why wasnt MU a gay game? it is literally the same as maple, losing is some aspects. the only upside is that it can PK? so PK > gameplay? i doubt so. Maple is a game whereby i like to challenge myself. for example, i would tell myself to get 30% by this amount of time. within this time i wont slack at all and keep training. Maple also teaches those younger how to manage what they have, in this case, the SP and AP. anyhow attributing them will result in a understated character... they will learn it the hard way =).
True, maple is dominated by young school kids. this is evident by the fact that.. i played maple the past week from tuesday to friday. every night had an ok lag until today. the lag was unbearable. pressing "F" ( my pick up button ) over 50 items i could at most pick up 8. how pathetic and how weak the server must be. compared to the battle.net (last time) where no matter how many people was online, it was lag-free. smooth like lan.
Maple is further dominated by childish people... for instance, when i was like lvl 24, i met this guy in dungeon. i just decided to have some fun and ks his horny mushrooms. he then started kpkbing and brought in his other bandit. ironically enough, his bandit was just a lvl 31 bandit and his 6 hit spell was ahem lousier than my claw. LOLX. that guy's probably a sad kid. so i wont blame him.
in conclusion, i in no way find maple gay. the only gay thing about maple? is the players themselves. there are TOO MANY KIDS. and i mean it.

"Retaining Confidence"
confidence. is a attribute that comes naturally to everyone in times of success, good, happiness. can confidence be measured? yes it can. when your down, you have low self-esteem; low confidence. facing with every day's decision, u have sometime called natural confidence to take the every day risks like jay-walking. when you are on a roll, you will get high confidence. during this time, you think you are unbeatable, and will try many new things. confidence is always present in egoistic people. too much confidence leads to arrogance.
having confidence when you are on a roll is simple. just maintain ur composure and continue with what u were doing before. but how hard is it to retain confidence when it is the opposite? truth be told, it is not easy. not easy? it goes to the point of down right tough. to remain confident in difficult times, there are a few ways, 1) remain optimistic. 2) find someone to confide in 3) solve the problem as soon as possible. what does it mean to take each solution?
1) to remain optimistic. this is basically the lame man's way of solving problems. sure it sounds positive. imagine OPTIMISTIC. that is nonsense. it is just a way of giving an excuse for not doing anything; a very good excuse. well.. at least.. u dont really have to do anything and can still hope to get things done =)
2) find someone to confide in. this will help bolster confidence level by alot should you be able to find someone trust worthy to confide in. this is a alot healthier alternative, and the both of you together can even find ways to solve the problem that is causing a dent in your confidence level =).
3)solve it myself. the loner's way out. this is the most effective in my opinion and it helps bring awareness of your own limits so that in future you know how much you can push yourself and hence feel more confident about yourself. only downside is that your friends will feel they are neglected. =/
today's post is based on the alarming rate of depression surrounding me and including myself. this is a reminder for myself.

Nest burning..~~
Hornet snacks!
Aftermath of the burned tree!
Hornets and nonsense!
"Help! The Hornets are coming!"
whats a hornet? its a bee-like thing that carries a equally bee-like painful sting..12/9/2006. as i was gearing up to watch Maggi and Me and 8, suddenly this guy came and knocked the door and told us to close everything as they are gonna burn down a hornets nest. first impression? wtf? hornet nest outside my house.. wooow. then i was like ok this is gonna get cool.. so i went upstairs to take a closer look and what they were doing. they had this ladder like thing, whereby a super armored guy ( liken this to a spacesuit ) climbed up and spray some weird chemical on the tree. he then took a flame thrower like thing and lit up that particular portion where the hornet nest is. so it burned... and burned... burned somemore until the nest finally dropped off the tree and on to my neighbour's pavement. they then sprayed the entire area with some pesticide. after alot of drama with lots of shouts here and there, they went away in the van they came with. net result? a toasted nest with many hornet snacks.

"Where's my Bag?"
11/9/06
today is a very special day in international history, and chinese pop history. in case you are wondering why i said that, its because this is the official day of release of S.H.E's first album 5 years ago! betcha didnt know. =P. today in chinese class, as our chinese teacher was unable to be present in the classroom, the school assigned a relief teacher to our class. but who is it? it is non other than my former rugby coach; Mr Romano. this is the fun part. Romano feels at home with ruggers so during this chinese class, he decided to play a prank on Tak Wah. it started off with Tak Wah dozing off whereby Romano took a few of his pens and started playing with them. sensing no reaction from Tak Wah, he decided to carry out his plot # 93919 to create some life and get some sastifaction from disturbing Tak Wah.he took Tak Wah's bag and put it on a chair at the back of the class room, whereby Marc Tan followed up by placing another chair on top, and turning it to face a corner. Romano then decided to kick the ball rolling by asking Tak Wah to do his work. needless to say, when he tried to find his book, he found his bag missing. ( to cut the story shorter abit ) Tak Wah then took a walk around the class and starting asking everyone on where it is and who took it. shaun did this reality TV thing whereby as Tak Wah went closer to the bag, Shaun started "titititititi" but when he was further, shaun went " ti... ti... ti..." being in his distressed state, he did not catch the hint and he even "sweared" that he will strip and shave the person who took his bag. after walking around a few times, he discovered the bag and everyone pointed to Mr Romano. he trying to be innocent, decided to frame me up in his scandal. the good prevails; and the truth came to light~ and Romano was the culprit!
PS : Tak Wah did not shave him =( T_T

DRUNK?
it was our every holiday drinking session; whereby someone will bring the stuff and we will go to someone's house to drink.. however today, mr ngai kay decided to tag along. i personally hate beer. i prefer wine... but as he could not find wine, i had to settle for beer. so basically our beer had 3 different alcohol values; 5.0% ,8.9% and 11.2%. i took the 5.0% which was heineken. ngai kay, decided to act like some huat dork and took the 10.2%. the most ironic thing was that someone dared him to drink 4 gulps. and of course being the egoistic person as he is, he took up the dare and drank 4; on top of that he took 2 more. when we were playing monopoly, he suddenly got totally high on the 5th gulp whereby he starting jumping around and kept shouting : " Look at me! i can jump! u are the drunk one wei yang! " of course we all knew who was the drunk one but we kept quiet. ngai kay at that moment of time was totally red. not a sign of drunkness in my opinion but he was totally out of control. then his parents came to pick him up. basically we tried to detoxify him by making him piss etc. but he didnt want. soooo.. his parents called up my friend's house and chided my friend's parent. this whole incident was a total joke and was caused by? Ong Xian Fu =P <---- highlight to know
wahahaha =D

WARCRAFT
08/09/2006
i've been putting off my retirement from competitive warcraft for let me see.. 2 years? yea! its that long! the day finally came on the 8th september when i shockingly lost in the early rounds of the WGT competition. well i guess that part i had only myself to blame. the whole week i have been slacking w/o training. what did i expect? however i did put in effort to train sufficiently i think. but.. the only thing i didnt train which is orc mirror. really took place. i trained against so many humans,orcs,elves, but alas. ironically i hit a orc as my opponent and i had to bow out really early. before WCG i told myself that WCG would be my last tournament. but after winning that 3rd prize.. why not try for more? who isnt greedy? since WGT i lost. i guess its really time for me to pack up my keyboard go home sleep and forget all about this whole thing. haizz.. it has been 4 years i put into warcraft... such a waste to give up all my experience... but who cares bout that anyway. i have no real friends in the warcraft world. so its okay =P they will just remember me as a person who got lucky in WCG. =) it is time for me to revert back to a down to earth person instead of a competitive gamer. now it is time to spend time with my friends.. play lame games.. maybe ladder.. all this kind of pointless stuff.. GG no RE to me! LoLx
