Lost.....

Back home di..... Everyday else went back on Friday/Saturday but me chose to stay back till Monday to participate in the competition.....

Well, we lost in the 1st round... Means we went there just to play 1 game xD... but it was well expected la... Our 1st opponents were the tournament favourites.... Nobody expected us to win. A bit disappointed with our drafting, was pretty sure if we had drafted warlock NA for our 2nd, 3rd pick we would have a high chance of winning.... Sadly, we didn't have the players for those 2 heros.

Despite the lost, I felt we learned a lot that day... I'm optimistic on joining more competitions. The next one is probably next sem. More time to practice =D

Am I the only one getting mixed feelings during the holidays?? I've always missed being home with my family... but now that I'm home... I'm missing Singapore and the people there.... weird....

emo

I have always been left in the shadows, its the same in the past and its the same now..........

And no, I don't need sympathy..... Just leave me alone....... like I've always been...........

Pechiii

To live is to emo,
To emo is to live.....

Like it or not, everybody will have their emo times..... Its just whether they show it or not....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I love Avril, her songs I find very meaningful with a comforting tune.... Normally suits my emo mood xD .....

I was forced to be Pechiii..... they ran out of vowels..... Don't ask.... only those in the chiii family will know......

Pointless post..... Skipped training today for Wish Upon The Moon 2... Had fun but somehow I felt it wasn't as meaningful with Wish Upon The Moon last year... don't know why... or is it just the emo feeling taking over ?? lol....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For those that want to know... I'm not really sure why I'm emo-ing also.... maybe its the weather.. maybe the pressure... I don't know.. just been thinking about my life a lot lately and when I think I get emo.... my life sucks that badly... =D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Only 4 more days to the competition.... Everyone is telling me that QOP will be removed when people play against us... shit.... Since when did -xander- + QOP striked fears into the heart of opponents... sien.... won't be able to shine during the tournament......

Focus...

Been having a lot of trainings lately for the competition this coming Sunday(Dota la.. what else?). The past few days have been really demoralizing for us, not being able to get a stable 5th player and losing all our draft matches with Wolf's team. One of the reasons we're losing?? Poor drafting which I'm largely at fault here due to my inexperience in -xl drafting format. The other reason is because we just don't have enough team work to make our combinations work.

Luckily, we just got our 1st victory against Wolf's team. This time it was largely due to our superior draft. We were lucky in a way that Wolf decided to pick all 5 of his heroes 1st then letting me choose our heroes to counter his 5. Big advantage and we took the advantage. Won the game by a big margin but somehow I still think we need to improve a lot if we were to have hope of winning anything.

1 week to the competition!

Field trip to APL....

Just came back from a visit to 1 of APL's depot..... We were suppose to be there to get a better idea on what we should do for the company for our design project.... Turns out, what they want my group to do is only how to make better their current inventory management for their bars...

zzzzz the project has totally 0% relevance to our course of study lor..... sien... Now we're definitely a bit screwed because the format of the module is for us to design something this sem and actually fabricate that design next sem..... If its just gonna be inventory management, then what they hell are we gonna present next sem?? A flow chart??? zzzzzz.......

Will meet with our mentor to discuss... hopefully he comes out with something that can save us....

Men's best friend......

During the afternoon, Chubby's personal messages on his Gtalk and MSN had an emo-ish feeling in it. So feeling worried, I messaged Ryan to ask what's wrong. The answer I got was an answer I would have never thought off.... and an answer I would never have wanted to here....... Twister, Chubby's beloved and loyal dog passed away.

Ryan asked me to visit Chubby's blog and so I did. Right there I found a post... that was so touching it would have made anybody with a heart tear. Yes, I did tear.. not only because the post was touching.... It's because I too will miss this small little mischievous dog. Even though I have only been in Chubby's place for quite a short period of time, Twister never fails to entertain us when we're there. The sight of her scurrying after her master where ever he goes, her short brown fur falling all over my pants when she's on me, her cheerful runs and movements......... All these things I'll definitely miss...... I'm really sorry for Chubs.... for losing such a great and faithful companion.............. You'll always be apart of our memories, may you rest in piece......

I've always loved dogs, I grew up with 2 lovely dogs both whom passed away when I was young yet they will always be in my heart. I would like to take this chance to say.... Snowy, Spotty ... I miss both of you....

Hmmm.....

Just finished my 1st test for this sem. Relatively easy lor... But be aware, when Xander says its easy, others are wondering why the test is easier then their younger siblings kindergarten work....... Well I believe I got the main questions right, and if I got them right others would have too. The thing is, there was this small question there to really test us. "State clearly the assumptions used." zzzzzz I only memorized equations... I did not understand them... how u expect me to state the assumptions used??? sien......

Free dinner today!!! In conjunction with the International Exchange Day, a buffet dinner was held at central forum. There wasn't only food but got FREE BEER!!! FREE BEER in campus wei!!! wahahahah. Can't find that in Malaysia Uni hor? =D

I have been spending a bit of my free time the past few days browsing blogs written by girls I don't know. No.... I don't browse them caused I'm a perv.... I came upon their blogs from Zenith+Asterisk official blog(Well-known Dota clans in Singapore, Zenith used to be SG number 1 and Asterisk are an all girl team). So yes, the blogs I have been browsing?? All female Dota players. Was just curious on how these girls who play Dota competitively actually write. As I was reading, some of them really do write well-detailed highlights of the matches they played. Terminology are all the same with the ones I use with my Dota Kakis. Then I started wondering, what would it be like if 1 of them was my gf?? Zzzzz I can't imagine my gf pawning/owning me in Dota..... a bit the sad right?? lol

Speakers!!!

Ahh.... Gaming Fiesta is finally over.... I can say yesterday was a bit more fun cause we were laughing a lot towards the end of the day.

Got lots of free stuff!!! Tiring but just about worth it la... got cca points and free stuff.

Finally decided to buy myself a new set of speakers. I lost my old set. Dont know go where di.... I think it got lost somewhere when I was moving rooms. Oh well.... Bought a Creative 2-way speaker. 2 tweeter speakers and a sub-woofer. SD59..... but well worth it. The sound really different from my old SD20 speakers. Really satisfied with it. My parents are gonna kill me though.... Running short on cash.... Will go back to my roti eating scheme soon......

LIVERPOOL TOP!!! WITH A GAME IN HAND!!! THANK YOU ASTON VILLA!!!!!

titleless......

Its been awhile since I've posted anything.... mostly because I had been very busy for the past few weeks... Lab reports, project meetings, tutorials and stuff.

Will still be busy the next few days, participated as a helper for the Gaming Fiesta event. 10 cca points for 2 days of work..... Worth it?? Or so I thought...... It's seriously damn tiring lor, standing there giving out flyers while trying to persuade some people to register for the gaming website... Damn sien also.... at one point I nearly fell asleep while leaning back on the wall.

Oh well, got free stuff. =D

Going tomorrow again, hopefully not as tiring as today. Will be missing some stages of the Dota tournament. I wish Team GT (Miin Kai's team) good luck.

Oh yea, Liverpool 6-0 Derby.......
This season's team, though I have never seen them played before, really has the potential to make it big. Great strikers in Torres and Kuyt, a very strong midfield now buffed up with fine wingers and the great defense that Liverpool already has.

I have faith in them this season, bring us back silverware!!!!
