Mabinogi, the online game that i'm currently playing....is really a strange game.....in many ways.....
fOr intance, in many online games/games/stories/anime/manga, Elves are depicted as a tribe living deep in the woods, on trees.... a Tribe connected to all forms of nature and has high magical powers.....
Mabinogi decided to go controversial and make their Elves live in the desert..... surrounded by sand........ wHat's more, is that most of these Desert Elves are Legolas followers, trained in the way of the Bow and arrow......
i Think it's only a matter of time before they start singing "They're taking the Hobbits to Isengard".......

vEry often i wonder what's happening to our little town of Kuching. tHis little town used to be a place where people are polite and generous to each other.
bUt recently, things has changed quite a bit......
eVerytime the elevator doors open, people will just RUSH at you like a herd of thirsty cows to water. nO one stops to let the people inside the elevator exit first anymore, as if in doing so is a sign of weakness in the eyes of others......
tHis is really sad......

hAve you ever called the sTreamyx help line before?
aPparently, all these 'helpers' know is to tell customers to unplug phone lines, wires, then plug them all in again and restart modems.
aSk them some more specific and techinical questions and you'd a hear a series of "i donno"-s and "wE're not sure"-s.....
i Mean seriously.....
wHat's the use of having a TECHNICAL help-line when all the people you hire to 'HELP' knows SQUAT........

i Know many people who either don't have the time or don't have the habbit of taking baths. tHings can get really, how should i put it, "chanllenging" for the nose after a hot day's work.
i Guess that's y some dude invented the perfume and deodorant.....
sCent is actually one of nature's gift/curse to all living creatures. fLowers use it to attract insects and animals, which eventually leads to reproduction. tHis is a fact that isn't so much different for animals.
iN case you've lost you sense of smell or just plain couldn't care less about it, everyone has an individual ordor. iT serves as a kind of identity for us all. tHough being the 'advance' creatures that we are, we've given up smelling each other's butts to identify each other..... hEck, we've even invented chemicals to remove/cover-up our own odor......
fOr many these days, deodorant and perfumes has become an essential part of their lives. eVery morning/afternoon/evening/night they'd apply some to themselves just so that they feel more secure about themselves.....
sOme even use it to attract more attention to themselves....
fOr me, i wonder if it's cause i was born the year of the Dog...... aS i have a sensitive nose.....
pErfume to me, is like poisonous gas... iT makes my nose clog-up; my eyes well-up; and even pop a few blood-vessels in my eye......mAybe....
sOmething that often happens to me on my way to work having to share an elevator with someone with nearly a WHOLE BOTTLE of perfume/deodorant on.....
tHe isolation..... tHe torture...... bLackout.............
i'Ve always liked the original scent of women.
iT's natural.
iT's individual.
iT's attractive.
iT's You.
aNd i hardly think it'll kill anyone if you stuff it up someone's nose.....i Think.....

26 dEcember 2004.....
a Tsunami hit several areas of Asia (mostly in Indonesia....) and killed nearly a quater of a million people.....
pEople called it the wrath of God.....

tWo years later.....
26 dEcember 2006.....
aN earthquake at the magnitude of 7.1 shook-up off the coast of Taiwan. Taiwan was hit, 2 died, 2 Undersea communication cables snapped...... iNternet connections around South East Asia with the world went out.....

wEll, for everyone using our, so-called, broadband (namely sTreamyx), it certainly is a familiar feeling to switch on your computer and router only to find that the connection is down, or just being a biatch...... iT's happened so often, it's become what its famous for.....
wEll, at least on a good day, it's better than dail-up, so i wouldn't complain..... much.....
eVerything seemed normal Tuesday night, 26 dEcember, and i was still galloping away on my hourse in Mabinogi with Rita, roaming around the new continent, searching for burried treasure and getting my horse killed over curiosity..... wEll, it was a new place, with new monsters.... hOw was i to know something that small could have so much juice in it to kick a horse's arse..... wOrse thing was, it was a hairy wild pig not more than half the size of my horse......
tHe night went, and mOrning came and as usual, came the routine of waking up for work. aT my desk i arrived, only to find the internet connection being a biatch....
MSN messanger literally refused to sign in....
fIrefox was loading only peanuts....
bTcomet just stood there looking useless.... bUt that's just normal since telekom re-allocated the bandwidth....
tOok nearly all morning to find out that most places around Kuching...
aNd another few more hours to find out that the whole Malaysia was affected....
tOok another 2 or 3 more hours to receive the news that it was caused by an off-shore earthquake in Taiwan.....
wHich in-turn translate into a connection-less day at work........

iT was sometime at the dawn age of a mighty ruler of game console, the Playstation 2. aS games were slowly spouting out one by one, came a sequal to a game which made its way into the hearts of many gamers whence it was was released on the previous console ruler, the PS.....
tHis was a game that allowed you to play hide and seek and tag at the same time....
tHis was a game where you can lock an unconscious guy in a locker.....
tHis was a game that allowed you to lock yourself in a locker......
tHis was a game that let let you fool you enemies with a toy soldier + a touch light...

tHis was also a game that allowed you to do this.....

tHe game swept through the gaming world like a tsunami. bOth the enhanced graphics and improved gameplay caused quite a commotion back when it was first released......

hAve you ever played this game as when you were younger? yOu form a line then the first gut whispers something to the second guy, and the message is passed down the line and the last person in the line calls out the message he'd been told. tHe group with the message closest to the original, wins.
if you've played this game before, yo'll know how comedic the final message could become. iMagine
"To be, or not to be?"
could actually end up as
"A bee had just stung me!"
yOu be the judge.....
i Don't know what got people playing this game in the first place, but to me, it's an experiment of human nature.
eVer so often, someone is told a rumour, and the rumour then spreads to a ten, and the ten spreads to a hundred (AKA the mandarin idiom '一傳十，十傳百').
aNd as if spreading rumours, which often doesn't even have a single spec of solid proof of truth, people tend to spice up the story, adding in their own versions and 'enhencements' to it. i Guess it's just in the human genes to take something, modify it and then send it out again.....
wHether if it's just a harmless joke or a story to defame someone, the one under the spot-light is often put through much interrogation and shame.
iT maybe fun and useful in making conversation to share the rumours about a certain someone with a bunch of friends, but have you ever thought about the consequences of it all? sOmeone you know for years might be get defamed over the things you say and the little 'enhancement' you added just to spice up the story.
fRiends could turn into enemies......
fAmilies could fall apart......
cOmpanies could go bankrupt.......
jUst because someone decided to spice up the rumour he/she heard, and spread it to another...
dIctionary.com has the following description of the word 'rumour'( or rumor in American):
- a story or statement in general circulation without confirmation or certainty as to fact
- gossip;hearsay
iN lay-man's terms, there's is no proof of whether the story is true or not.....
sEeing so many cases of this happening around me, and even being put under the spotlight several times, got me wondering why people can't just shut up about things that they don't even have proof to.
aRe people in Kuching really That bored?!
tHat they need to make up stupid rumours about their Friends and spread it around just to make their like more entertaining???
lIke here you have
"WOW! did u hear about X and Y getting together??"
"OMigosh! i Heard someone saw them holding hands!"
"WA~~ nO, A said they kissed passionately in Water-front!"
"ISSIT!?!?! i heard from B they Y stayed over at X's house ah!"
"WALAU!!!! They are up to that Extent liaw ah! Must be doing it ah!!!"
i Mean WTF!?
aRE you really that BORED???
sO Korean drama don't hit the spot anymore!?
aLl the information and things to do on the internet is not IN anymore????
tHat you have to go and pry into other people's business and spice up their life by 'enhancing' and 'modifying' it into a stupid rumours with flying pigs???
dUde! yOu really need a H-O-B-B-I-E! hOw about Bungy jumping? wIth any luck, the rope would snap and, MAN! that'll be very exciting for all of us to talk about!

sKipped work and ran off to hAd to send some brochures to 一中 (Chung Hua Middle School No.1) just now. i'd always get a sentimental feeling when i go back to my old school. eSpecially 一中, since i practically 'grew' (intended without the 'up')there.
a Lot has changed since i left 6 years ago. iT almost seemed like another school now.
aFter handing over the brochures to 楊月玲老師 (the counselling teacher), i decided to take a short stroll around the familiar surroundings and take a few pictures....
aPparently, they've built a bronze statue over the two outdoor badminton courts and rennovated the 2 lily-ponds. tRy to imagin how the statue and the ponds would look from the building behind it.......
aS i strolled along, i met a few of my teachers and had some small talk with them. oFten , i am rather terrified about speaking to them (i don't know why either....), but today, i get a warm feeling when i see that they are all still fine.
wHat stroll would be complete if i didn't re-visit my old favourite spots.
tHe old tree is still standing tall and mighty. tHough i must say, the leaves used to be alot more lush green. tHink it's also getting bald with old age.
tHe school assembly hall seems wider without the stacked-up green plastic chairs. mEmories of working backstage during the annual talent nights still linger in my mind. i couldn't help noticing that the 2 對聯 beside the stage are gone though.......
aNd lastly, the stroll took me to one of my most frequent places back when i was just a high-school student.....
tHe Long-house (toilet)..... tHey kept the style and structure, but they got rid of the holes......

sO much could happen in 4 days.
i Had 2 days left in my annual leave, and considering the fact that no admin staff are permitted to apply for leave in the last 2 weeks of December due to the January intake, i took last Friday and yesterday off. wHich meant my weekend began early and i still had the chance to lie in bed till 10am even though it was Monday.
nEat huh!?
4 days seems like such a short time. bUt looking back, so much could happen in such a sort period of time....
fIrst of all, my 'holliday' didn't have a 'flowers and butterfly, bees and honey' begining to it..... i Was at an education roadshow until 7pm last Thursday. wHen we finally packed up everything to go home, it was almost 730pm, and i was sweaty, cold and my face was numb after all that smiling.....
aS glad as i was that the whole ordeal was over and a long holiday laid waiting, the drive home seemed as normal as any other drive home. hOw was i to know that....
uPon reaching my lorong, a 'Ninja Turtle' reversed and Rammed into my Nissan Sunny.... 1 Smashed head-light + a Dent in my head-light socket area.
lUckily the guy agreed to pay for all my repairs and introduced me to his mechanic...
mY car had to be sent into the shop for 2 days..... i Got my car back on Saturday though... tHink i'll post of pictures of the damage and repairs soon....
oN a lighter note, Rita and i decided to put together her old CPU with my old monitor to set-up another PC. nOw, initially we wanted to get a video output card for it so that we could watch Real Media Player files in my room. bUt doing so would mean....spending extra cash......cash which we don't have since we got our dream phone.....
sO i had the crazy idea of putting my old monitor (which had been taking up space and collecting dust in my brother's deserted room) and Rita's old Pentium 3 (which had been left untouched in a corner of my kitchen) to use. aT that point i wasn't even sure if the monitor could still run. aFter 1 format, 1 series of driver/program instalation and a trip to the nearby hardware store for am extension cord and some speakers, the system was ready. nExt came moving my PS games to make room for monitor..... i Think i'm still coughing out dust bunnies..... aFter extensive wiping and a battle alongside my trusty side-kick, the vacumn cleaner, the stage was set and the computer is now proudly sitting next to my tv. nOw i have a computer in my room..... gOsh i feel even more like an OTAKU than i did before.... yOu's think the same thing if you saw the picture i took of side of the wall in my room....
wHat else happened? wEll, just found out a friend of mine studying abroad had just broken-up with his girlfriend over the weekends. dOn't be too Sad, dude. bEtter days will come.
oH, the Weather was awesome, we had a storm almost every night. oNe night it almost seemed that we were about to hae a flood. wAter even over-flowed into the kitchen washroom from the drain in our yard.
