Idea shut down..

Lately, I've been away from blogging. Can't multi-task... ideas screwed.... I'm lost... no idea what to write anymore... mind too hammered to think of anything else other than college matters now...

So from now until stated.. I guess I'll only be updating this site once a week.. Not like I have a clan of loyal followers anyways, so what difference does it make ? haha ~

Just bought a pair of new earphones yesterday, didn't quite live up to my expectations, but at least it was an upgrade from my stock ones. Hopefully can last longer than the previous 'phones I bought.. =.="

Btw, on a side note, did you guys know Mid Valley's increasing their parking fees???? They're implementing it on the 26th March onwards!! (that's tomorrow to those who are still blur)

For the first 3 hours, it's still the same (RM1 weekdays, RM3 weekends), but after the third hour, the rates goes up hourly to a maximum of RM7 on weekdays and RM9 on weekends. Ridiculous!!!

They don't get enough customers as it is ??? They want to cause massive jam more outside their vicinity ??? Or are they thinking with the increase of rate, less people will come to cause massive weekly jams both human and cars ??

Dammit, the place always hang out in now increease parking rates, looks like have to find a new long-hour hang out spot redy.... sigh....

Devotion .. Determination.. Commitment..

How many of you guys are really devoted to whatever you do in your daily tasks ?

It's been years since I've ever felt any sense of devotion to anything, let alone anyone.

People always tell me, always put your heart and soul in anything you do, only then you'll be satisfied with what you do or achieve. But whenever I do that, I always end up being heart-broken or disappointed. It's been so hard for me to devote myself to anything after that.

It's not bad doing everything without devotion, but you just can't feel the "flare" of doing anything anymore. But it's so much better than getting hurt everytime I do it. Is it wrong to do this ?

Can anyone tell me something to burn my devotions again ?? I've always been settling for just above average because of this, I cannot achieve the best I can because of this, I'm only staying at the level of mediocrity.

During my 2nd year, there was this one lecturer I had. He used to say us (his students) as "zombified" whenever he were to ask questions and we fell silent. Others thought it was a real funny joke, and it did seem that, but that word shocked me, because it somehow described what I was feeling constantly ~ a hollow, half-living, half-dead being. I'm very much alive, yet I'm somehow dead within me.

Deep inside I want to achieve more, but whenever I think of this, my past comes back to haunt me, it's like an alarm triggered within me that tells me to back off..

It's calming, yet it's torturing everytime this happens. I'm at a dead end.. I've been figuring this out ever since I can remember... need some serious guidance...

Sorry for my absence ~

I've been absent for quite awhile from blogging thanks to a new addiction I got in one game... A friend which I really want to "thank you" for introducing to me... =.="

Anyways, it's a game which I'm sure many will have heard of but might not know (and to those who do, might think it's really childish).

Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town (GBA)

Well, basically it's a harvesting RPG game. The thing you gotta do is like what the title suggest; harvesting. You have to mend a run-down harm to optimal profit by farming, and raring animals. You can interact with the town folks and well, ultimately get married :p

It's a really simple game really, but as all simple games, it can be really addictive... as I've learnt..

---

Now, from the game though, a thought, or pondering if you will, came across my mind. I think that those who are good at games, can actually be good at almost anything.

I mean think about it: To be good at a game, you must be, more often than not, goal-oriented, you must have extremely good reflexes to those real-time games, you must have superior strategies and tactics to outsmart your opponent, and for those team-play, you must be extremely well in managing or co-operating with your team members.

Now, with all these skills at hand, virtually any job/ career needs these qualities in the workforce. With team-play, you get great team-members or group leaders, with goal-orientation, you get great task accomplishers, with superior strategies, you get great planners or business people.

So, why I ask, do our guardians/ parents should stop their children (or even us for that matter) from playing more console/pc games ? It enhances all these soft skills which would be crucial for us in the future !!

So I say, play more games, it'll be good for your careers !!!

Disclaimer: I will not be responsible for any loss of sight or hearing or any physical/ mental damages from what I said above. I will also not be responsible for any loss of life, whether spiritual or social, for any who takes heed of what I said. Any loss of current jobs/ careers or bad result, well, I definitely will not be responsible for as well. Do it at your own risk, basically.

I'm Microsoft ~

Lately Microsoft has been running a charity initiative via their MSN Live messenger.

Every time you start a conversation using i’m, Microsoft shares a portion of the program's advertising revenue with some of the world's most effective organizations dedicated to social causes. We've set no cap on the amount we'll donate to each organization. The sky's the limit. There's no charge, so join now and put our money where your mouth is.

i’m is about making a difference. Not in a huge expensive way, not in a time-consuming way. But in a simple, effective way.

It's very simple really, if you have MSN Live Messenger 8.1 or above, you just have to type in the text code in your msn title to display the logo. And, according to them, the more chats with that logo in your title, the more they will donate to whichever cause you participate in.

The available codes are:

Text Code	Cause
*red+u	American Red Cross
*bgca	Boys & Girls Clubs of America
*naf	National AIDS Fund
*mssoc	National Multiple Sclerosis Society
*9mil	ninemillion.org
*sierra	Sierra Club
*help	StopGlobalWarming.org
*komen	Susan G. Komen for the Cure
*unicef	The US fund for UNICEF

Click this link or click the link in my sidebar to go to i'm Home page to find out more.

Personally, I think this is a good initiative done by Microsoft to create some awareness about the different charity causes and their roles, as well as to contribute to each of the charities.

However, since it IS Microsoft, somehow, I always have the dark feeling that there's something hidden within the context... "udang di sebalik batu" if you will, hehe.

But anyways, it still for a good cause, so why not do it? it's a simple thing, and it's free anyways to begin with!!

So which cause are you gonna support ? =D

Final Fantasy Versus XIII !!

This is the teaser for the upcoming Final Fantasy Versus XIII.

Forgive me, but I'm just quite a fan of the Final Fantasy series XD

Anyways, just FYI to those who are interested to know, none of the Final Fantasy XIII series, or also known as "Final Fantasy XIII: Fabula Nova Crystallis", are scheduled to be released anytime this year. So we'll just have to wait patiently.... sigh.....

Hope you enjoy the teaser XD

Fabula Nova Crystallis

There is nothing either good or bad,
But thinking makes it so.
