It has been one to two months since I requested for the cashout in Nuffnang after meeting their cashout requirements. Not a lot of money but it certainly took a long long while. Apparently one of their staff contacted me a week before I receive the cheque to explain the long delay. Apparently (yet again), it seems as though the person in-charge of signing cheques went overseas for the past month thus the delay. However the problem is why the wait till he is back before sending me the email to inform me about the delay? That I have no idea, busy isn’t a reason or a valid excuse. Continue reading
Madass Drummer at Wrong Gig
What do you get when you have a crazily skilled madass drummer in a gig that ain’t that mad and crazy? You get to see what you see in the video. The drummer is simply outstanding and doesn’t really fit in with the rest of the other band members. His skills captured in video after the jump. Continue reading

PC Alpha Protocol Review
Alpha Protocol, a game that was hyped up by many and after it’s released disappointed many. I myself actually did not hear much of the game or rather, was unaware of it (not sure if it is good or bad). From some researching it seems as the situation is that the game is under development for quite some years, around the year 2006 or so. Long development means better game? Perhaps, perhaps. Anyways, back to the review. This review is based on experience playing through the PC version. Do note that the game is out for the X360 and the PS3 as well. Without further ado, let us move on to the review. Continue reading
My Fifa World Cup 2010 Predictions
Just 8 more days before the battle of the biggest and strongest footballing nations begins. The following 5 teams are teams that I predict will have a chance to win the world cup. Predictions are based purely on my self-belief and are totally bias without any doubt. Please do not take any of the predictions to heart and bet your money on any of them.

Almost Time For a Break
The semester is about to end. “Holidays†are fast approaching. I need this break real soon. The pace of my IB School life suddenly shot up within the past 2 weeks or so. Assignments, important projects and internal assessments for several subjects came all at the same time. It was all party at first and the chaos at which these 2 weeks totally caught me off guard. I’m glad that it is slowly decreasing in pace and things seem to go a little lighter yet again. Continue reading
