Grasshopper Dreams 2.0

Random Bites...

I'm gonna do some newsbites today lah. Nothin big happening, but...naah. Just read on.

It feels like I'm in Baghdad:
Damn kids playing the fireworks again. I guess the kids aren't afraid of the law anymore. Maybe because the law ain't taking notice this year.

Whatever it is, in the coming nights of Hari Raya the fireworks battle is really heating up. Rockets zipping overhead, firecrackers exploding here and there. I guess any minute now the Occupation Forces and the Delta Force are gonna swoop in and take over the town :P.

My bro and I like to keep tabs on the casualty numbers of fireworks victims: how many fingers lost, did that boy lose his eye, do the doctors have to cut off both his arms, and which state the stupid victim came from (there are two obvious states :P).

Sad thing is, now it's 1 am, and it's silent. Psh, those kids are not extreme. C'mon, gimme a finger or two!

Tech/Game news:
Can ah? Wowza.. Dammit, at a time like this I really want an Xbox. It's not because ofthe hype of Halo 2 or DOA, no. I guess I want another console? :p

Firefox 1.0 released. Finally. I'm really digging into Firefox right now. I'm really against using IE because of spyware/adware problems. Damn, I sound biased. I dunno la, every time I do tech support on an infected PC, I always ask them, "What browser do you use?" "IE." Uh.

The most common of infections? Dialers and pages to porno site. What?! IT's either the surfer don't know what they clicked on (but clicked it anyway), or they really do visit those porno sites. Urgh.

Learn to surf intelligently, people! Or get off the damn Internet!

I could go on forever, but I'm dry on this topic.

Raya Stockpile:
Oh yeah, we've all ready for Raya with our usual stockpile. Containers of Raya cookies strewn around the kitchen, but my favorite stockpile are the drinks. Three dozen 1.5l bottles of Coke, Strawberry and Orange carbonated booze. Oh yeah :p.

Raya weather forecast:
Past Rayas always end up wet in the rain. Usually the morning is kinda cloudy with some trickle now and then. Then the afternoons usually end up drizzling aith no guest coming. Heavy rain close the day.

Looking around the sky, I guess this year's Raya gonna rain again. Big dark clouds cover the day. I can see the rain in some areas far away.

Somehow, I always thought that the weather is influenced by my feelings. Yeah, cheezy innit? Heh, lemme layan my feelings once in a while. I guess when I'm feeling down, the sky would rain. So does that mean I feel down every time it's Raya? Ouch. I should feel happiness around this time, so why the hell it rained? Maybe it's something deep inside me. Probably I'm unhappy or sad about something, and it reflects in the weather.

I've seen the oppsite happen too. When I feel really happy or at least feeling upbeat, the sky is really bright, and not even a single cloud in sight. Pergh.

Yelah, this is soo cheezy I could try to seel it to Pizza Hut.

But, y'know something? I think this year's Raya is gonna be a really bright affair. No clouds. Really really bright. I know it. Why?

It's because I think I'm gonna go to Shah Alam after all.

City Life?:
You read it right, folks: I think I'm going to Shah Alam! YESS!!

I got a 3.2 cgpa, which is more than enough as a ticket to Shah Alam. It's stated that to enter the TESL degree programme in Shah Alam, I have to have a minimum cgpa of 3.0 in the second semester.

I checked my result online this afternoon. Actually, the results only mean that I have a 3.2 cgpa, but it doesn't say yet that I'm going to Shah Alam for real. For that, I have to wait for the mail. Urgh.

Initially I don't even want to check the online results. I guess I got kinda scared to check the online result. But after some coaxing from my cousin, I opened up the browser, smiled a happy smile. Oh yeah. Now to wait for the mail. Damn agonizing.

So, I guess this is the end of what my Dato' Seri said "Your fortune is in Melaka". It's bittersweet, leaving Melaka, but now my fortune is in another state, and I have to go and catch it.

Am I happy?:
Of course I'm happy. I'm happy that I've finally got out of Melaka. I'm happy that my fortunes are not of Melaka anymore.

Heck, I'm firing off some of my favorite tunes in Winamp to celebrate. I went out with my posse to celebrate. Of course I'm happy.

But that bittersweet taste is still lingering there. No amount of Coke I've consumed tonight managed to take away that feeling. Somehow, I feel sad leaving that state.

I practically grew up as an adult there. I've experienced the best times of my life there. I've made friends with the best people I've ever known. I fell in love with the place, especially MMU. (especially MMU.) No other place. To me, MMU is Melaka. Alor Gajah is Melaka too, but sadly it doesn't hold the same magic that there is in MMU. I fell in love with the campus. I fell in love with the people there. I even fell in love with the girls there, especially one who will never know how i really felt about her.

It's bittersweet because one lifelong friendship with a gruop of people started there. My legacy is still up and standing. The girl whom I could never express my true feelings is still there. Even the support from my Dato Seri was there. I even have a friend who become my adopted brother there. Even the Bear Hill waiting for me to conquer it again and again. It's all there.

Sigh, yes, I know Melaka is only 2 hours away from Shah Alam. Yes, I can go there whenever I want. Just a simple bus ride there. I know, I know. But...meh. Just let it be, okay? It could never be the same anymore. The town's changed already. The campus has changed already. I've changed. Let it change.

Let the past stay in the past, and as a memory in my mind. Things will never be the same. I will only have the memories of things past, and I promise to never let go. Never.

Chiss, i'm crying. Dammit.

Closing comments:
New pictures in the album. Go check it out. Will be putting up the tagboard, if I'm not malas enough :p. New layout pun, and again if I'm not malas enough. Somebody help me? With the layout I mean, not the malas thing. That I can do myself.

Th-th-th-that's all, folks.

About kantoi-ing Islamic studies...jeez, people are gonna talk about that forever. My parents are already scoffing me about this. And it shows my lack of knowledge in that subject. Actually, I prefer to be associated with ingnorance, not wanting to care about the subject. Oh yeah, lightning strike for me!

Ish ish ish. Cannot don't care lah. It's your religion for crying out loud. (I cakap besar je... pasal my own religion pon buta) Anyways, hope you get into Shah Alam. =) Kang events kat KL senang pergi pon.

Ooooo.... Half-Life 2. Heh...did not play the game (only tengok kat tepi) so did not know who Mr Freeman is. Halo2 is also coming out soon, right?

coming out soon?

'twas on the shelves ages ago. must be sold out by now...

I'd preorder the limited platinum edition but it's just too bad I don't do console.

Halo is such a great game that *meant* to be played on PC.

Thank you microsoft; for ruining it.

Eek. It was out ages ago? How come the forum I visited can't wait for its release? Weird.

Anyone here (well, only both of you I guess) tried WoW yet? ^^

Halo 2 was out on Nov 9. People already flooding x-box live even as we speak.

And as for WoW, it is simply amazing. For the first time in my mmorpg experience for the past few months, being low level actually feels good - no mad rush to reach high level. *cough* RO *cough*

There world is huge and just waiting to be explored.

the crafting(non-combat skills/talents)part is wicked. The number of games that actually get it right can be counted with fingers on one hand. WoW is one of them.

So far this is the best mmorpg game aside the two mmorpg that caught my attention - Neocron and Saga of Ryzom (Nevrax should have polish it more before releasing it to the public. still buggy but great nevertheless).

Let just hope the GMs will play more active role in the community. Coming out with new quests and crafting new stories. Then it would be worthy the mmorpg status.

meh. i've already given up on Asia's version of the so-called "mmorpg" a long, long time ago.

note: Razor hill and Ogrimmar(possibly every town in Durator; I was at thunderbluff at that time) were assaulted yesterday by night elves. Rumours said they managed to kill Thrall. lol.

Woah...long post there. Serious? Thrall? Cool. Well, BETA ended yeterday anyways. You gonna P2P? I started at the wrong foot that's why it was kinda boring for me after a while. But playing my brother's character (helping him gain skill points) and helping him fish, cook and skin mobs are kinda fun. Hehehe...

Not going to P2P any time soon. Have to wait till my budget to be on +ve track back. splurged quite a lot for the past few months. XD
