Zeno Clash – A Weirdly Fantastic Game

1 Comment

Zeno Clash is a PC only first person brawler, independently developed and produced by ACE Team. It is available through both Steam and Direct2Drive at the price tag of $19.95 (Around $30 SGD). Zeno Clash puts you into a world of fantasy, blending both the first person point of view with an engaging melee combat system. Visuals are out of this world (in terms of their concept and design) and is uniquely pleasing to the eye. Storyline wise is yet again weird mainly due to the atmosphere and setting it takes place in. All in all the combat system together with the splendid visuals make it one heck of a game, a game that is weirdly fantastic. Continue reading →

Save 40 Cents to Spend 40 Dollars

4 Comments

Students in my school are generally financially sound. Well, we have a few rich kids in here but I suppose almost everyone comes from an average family in terms of monetary value. The weird thing I’ve noticed is, that some (minority) just have the habit of “forgetting” to pay their bus fares. You see, for students we have that privilege of paying $0.44 per ride no matter the distance (student concession I think). I’ve no idea how and why do some people still not want to pay that amount of money. Come on, compare that with your Crumpler bag and perhaps Nike shoes, what is $0.44? Irony at its greatest.

3 Fans – Cooler and Cooler

1 Comment

Spent the morning fixing up 3 new fans into my rig. One was a kaze-maru 140mm fan, and the two others were red LED coolermaster fans. Fixed them up into my casing (Coolermaster 690) and that alone took me around 2 hours or so. Get Computer Repair has a Microsoft Certified Professional working there so I generally go to them for my computer problems but I am glad that I spent that amount of time doing it myself. Now I understood much more about my computer and how to fix one. Actually, after taking a look at the different wirings and where they went etc, I found out that it ain’t very difficult to build one yourself. I’ve so far fixed a graphics card myself and setup additional fans. Little by little I’m getting more and more used with this custom computer building thing.

It is EARTH week and that is the way pizza boxes should be designed. Saves the cleaning, uses the materials effectively and gives buyer convenience of keeping.

Now it just lies on whether Pizza selling companies would want to design their boxes in such manner where it can be easily torn and separated into plates and for keeping.

YouthMEDIA – Blog Promotion Network

1 Comment

YouthMEDIA User DashboardYouthMEDIA is yet another blog promotion network. Its purpose is roughly the same as of the ever popular EntreCard; to promote your site at others site. Instead of using credits etc to buy spaces on people’s site, YouthMEDIA allows webmasters to simply show their website randomly on other users’ site. Basically it is like a two way traffic whereby you have to show other people’s website in order for them to show yours. This is ordinary and nothing so special but what actually makes me dedicate this featured post for this service is mainly because of the local audience. I’ve been seeing more and more local start-ups catering to international (but of course having a bigger local member base) audience as well as that of the locals. When I say local I am referring to the neighbouring countries Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan etc (somewhere in that region). Continue reading →

The Virgin Gold Finally?

Leave a comment
Gold Medal - Will I get it?
Will this be the year?

All stations are completed. I am glad that for once I had a chance of getting a Gold in my National Physical Fitness Award (NAPFA). However, it is not a 100% yes for the Gold for I had one station whereby I only achieved a “D”. According to the scheme, to get a Gold you must have at least 21/30 points and all stations at least a “C” and above. Exactly which station did I get only a “D”? If you’ve followed my journey in the physical and fitness adventure, it was my Sit-and-Reach. I missed the “C” grade by just merely 2cm. Might be retaking it if my teacher allows it or like he said, if I had gotten the rest of the tests a Gold standard, he would just close an eye and give me that extra 2cm. Bah, I really hope he does or I’ll just keep trying in the next week until I can get that 2 more cm.

If that’s the case, I’ll finally acquire my first virgin Gold. Yes, all my life since primary school I did not have a chance of getting a Gold at all. In fact, I’ve always been getting Bronze then. Slowly promoting to Silver as my age progresses. Perhaps this year would be the year to mark my adventures into the Gold category for the fitness test. Anyways here are the results for the different stations and tests:

Sit-and-Reach D
Pull-ups A
Sit-ups A
Standing Board Jump C
Shutter Run A
2.4km Run/Walk C
Total Points: 23/30
