Alright, I'm here.

A Missed Call?
Okay, I'm here...
Actually, I don't have much to blog about.
Nothing interesting's happened so far.
But I'll try and dig up what I can, kay?
Let's see...
Oh yeah, Restaurant City! I almost forgot...
To be honest, it's getting kind of boring because my Gourmet Points increase very slowly now.
My restaurant used to level up really fast!
But now, my Gourmet Points increase quite slowly...
At least my popularity is always around 48, 49, and 50.
I changed my floor tiles.
I got a new award for decorating my avatar ( emo style! ).
I added two more toilets.
And I finally added dividers to separate the toilets from the rest of my restaurant.
Oh and Essie, my food is not that low-class!
Here they are:
Starter - Standard Garden Salad
Main - Standard Margarita Pizza
Dessert - Simple Kiwi Sorbet
Anyway, Ashman kept calling to ask me about the Geography Folio.
He's still not done with it yet.
I pity him because he seems so desperate!
Strangely, Jas called me at around 9.50 in the morning, but I didn't answer because I was not with my handphone at the moment.
I saw there was a missed call on my handphone from Jaslyn.
Erm, Jas, do you know anything about this?
Well, I guess that's it.
Comment me, kay?
May the Force be with you...

Official Trailer!
Alright, I'm here.
Okay, I posted another video on YouTube.
Actually, it's a trailer.
Remember the "Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde" English Project?
Well, this video is the official trailer.
Check it out, it's really cool.
I tried to make it look like a real movie trailer.
But there were a few mistakes. I explained it all in the video description.
I used Windows Movie Maker yet again!
I'm just so used to it!
I included many Star Wars soundtracks in the trailer. In fact, all the music in the trailer is from Star Wars!
What can I say?
Star Wars soundtracks really make a video seem so cool and dramatic!
These soundtracks are:
1. Star Wars Episode 3 - The Boys Continue
2. Star Wars - Duel of The Fates
3. Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic 2 - The Jedi Enclave
You can check out my new trailer here...
SMKBJ 3 Omega Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde Official Trailer!
Anyway, I have almost 26000 Gourmet Points in Restaurant City! Wow!
I surprise even myself!
Let me see...
I added two new tables.
And I hired Essie to work in my restaurant. She's a waiter!
And ever since she started working in my restaurant, my popularity sky-rocketed!
Before I knew it, my popularity soared to 50!
Apparently, 50 is the maximum popularity that a player can achieve!
But when my employees' stamina decreases by 10%, my popularity will drop.
So all I have to do is to keep all my employees' stamina above 90%. Piece of cake!
But since my restaurant is relatively still quite small, and the customers are literally flooding in, my computer has serious lagging problems.
Oh well, I'll soon overtake Nani!
All I have to do is be patient.
She's got almost 90000 Gourmet Points, for crying out loud!
And just now, my mother forced me to watch the Suze Orman show on CNBC.
It was quite okay, I guess. I particularly liked the way she talks! It's so awesome!
I really enjoyed the "Can you afford it?" part of the show! It was honestly very funny!
Finally, I took a quiz on Facebook...
And the result is that I'm "52% female and 48% male"! Can you believe that?
My friends all commented on the result like crazy!
I was so shocked with the result! How can I be more female than male? Preposterous!
Oh well, I guess that's it.
Comment me, kay?
May the Force be with you...
Jannah, I did teach you!
Okay, excluding this one, I've still got 19 Star Wars pictures left.
And I'm proud to say that this is my 60th post! Yay!
Anyway, I took Dashana's "How Well Do You Know Me?" quiz on Facebook, and guess what?
I got 100%!
And my Restaurant City Gourmet Points are now over 21000! Just another 1000 points and my restaurant will be Level 14!
But my popularity is still stuck around 36, 37 and 38...
And Evo, you copied my blog title, "Life Is Hard"!
Jannah, I DID teach you simultaneous linear equations properly, it's just that you didn't get it!
It's actually super easy!
All you need to know are a few basic principles, that's all! [ sigh ] [ slaps hand on forehead ]
If you picked A, that means you have nothing against Chess! Yay!
And my brother found the sequel to "Super Crazy Guitar Maniac Deluxe 2".
It's called "Super Crazy Guitar Maniac Deluxe 3"!
But it's like 10 times harder than the previous version!
The music is still okay, I guess...
You can try it out here...
Super Crazy Guitar Maniac Deluxe 3
Finally, I just want to tell you all the movies that I really, really, really want to watch...
1. Angels And Demons
2. Night At The Museum 2
3. Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince
4. Transformers 2: Revenge Of The Fallen
5. Narnia: Prince Caspian
Okay, that's it. I got to go and record the song "Home" by Carrie Underwood.
Comment me, kay?

New Chess Openings
Alright, I'm here...
It turns out that I don't really have to do the oral presentation this week after all! Hooray!
And I made a mistake on my last post.
I said I was going to give a speech about "The History Of Chess", right?
Well, I change my mind.
I think I'm going to talk about "The Origins Of Chess". It's simpler, but it's still quite interesting!
Jas, Haziq, Aisyah and I were supposed to do the oral presentation after school yesterday.
After the school finished, I went to the canteen to eat my lunch.
Then, I followed Ashman and Bridget to the library for the English Language Society meeting.
Since we had nothing better to do, Ashman and I played SIX consecutive Chess games!
When ELS ended at around 4.30 pm, I was rather worried because no one called me for the oral presentation.
Then I saw Haziq, and he told me that the speech was postponed because Pn. Roslinda ( English teacher ) wasn't at school.
So it's still not over...[ sigh ]
Besides that, my brother discovered an interesting online flash game called "Super Crazy Guitar Maniac Deluxe 2".
It's kind of like Guitar Heroes, but players use the keyboard instead.
I tried it out, and so far, I can only get past the "Amateur" level!
Although the graphics aren't as nice as the real Guitar Heroes series ( What do you expect? It's a flash game! ), the songs are quite nice.
Only "Hollywise" by Blacktop Manhattan and "Truth Or Dare" by Garden State are a bit lousy...
If you want to try it out for yourself ( Just give it a shot! ), just click the link below...
Super Crazy Guitar Maniac Deluxe 2!
Anyway, the weather this morning was scorching hot!
The worst part is that I forgot to bring my fan!
And I managed to increase my marks for BM! Yay!
I also learned a new chapter in Science. It was quite interesting, I guess...
As for Chess, I've decided that the Sicilian Defense is not a good opening for me.
So, here's a list of Chess openings that I'm most likely going to use in the future:
WHITE:
1. King's Gambit
2. Benko Opening
3. Bishop Opening
4. King's Indian Attack ( transposed from Benko Opening )
BLACK:
1. Modern Defence
2. Caro-Kann Defence
3. Pirc Defence ( transposed from Modern Defence )
4. King's Indian Defence ( transposed from Modern Defence )
For those of you who actually know what these openings mean, good for you!
For those of you who don't know, well, too bad!
Finally, a question for Jannah...
Jannah, why do you hate me?
A. I didn't teach you simultaneous linear equations properly.
B. I love playing Chess.
C. Any other reason. ( Please tell me! I beg you! )
D. None of the above, which means you don't hate me anymore!
Well, that's it.
Comment me, kay?
May the Force be with you...

Speech About "The History Of Chess"
Okay, I'm here...
Remember the oral presentation, or in other words, the speech, that I have to do for Pn. Roslinda?
Well, it turns out that it wasn't the day just after my school holidays!
Phew! That was a relief!
But, the speech is due tomorrow...
And this presentation isn't going to be in front of my class...
It's going to be giving a speech to people that I don't know! [ Faints ]
Well, I already prepared the text. It's about "The Importance Of Water". Honestly, it's boring and dull! How could I even consider giving a speech about that kind of boring subject?!
So, I printed out a new text.
This time, it's about "The History Of Chess"!
Awesome, no?
Well, it's not as bad as a speech about water, right?
Oh, and my RC ( Restaurant City ) Gourmet Points is approximately more than 18000 now!
Yes, Essie! I finally overtook your restaurant! Muahahaha! [ coughs ]
But today, when I tried to access RC, a page came out saying that the Restaurant City website is undergoing maintenance. What a bummer!
I've got to admit, I am getting kind of addicted to RC! [ smiles ]
Oh, and I got most of my results for the mid-year examination.
But I don't wanna tell you my marks! Never in a million years!
Well, all I can tell you now is that I just found out that my birthday ( 30th July ) is actually during the PMR trial examination! [ cries ]
How unlucky!
And finally, Sarah, my "POG" or so-called "feminiphobia" problem is gone, I tell you, GONE!
It's settled!
It's over!
I am NOT afraid of girls anymore!!!
I AM NOT AFRAID OF GIRLS!!! [ screams into pillow ]
Well, that's it.
Comment me, kay?
May the Force be with you...

What I've Done During The School Holidays...
Okay, I'm here...
Oh, and I'm going to change my profile pictures for MySpace, Facebook, MSN, Yahoo! Messenger and Blogger. Yay!
Anyway, I've done quite a lot of interesting stuff during the school holidays.
I went for my haircut.
It was okay, I guess...
But for Jas and the rest of the gang, too bad! I DIDN'T change my hairstyle! Sorry!
I also watched Terminator: Salvation...
It was awesome! Awesome, I tell you!
You should watch this movie, even if you haven't watched the previous Terminator movies. It's really worth it! Trust me!
But before we even reached the GSC cinema at The Summit USJ, guess what?
My father's car tyre got punctured.
We had to stop near a plaza toll. I helped my father to change the tyre. Honestly, I underestimated the weight of both the punctured tyre and the spare tyre! I didn't expect them to be so heavy!
Well, enough about tyres...
The next day, my family and I went to a place called Colmar Tropicale, Bukit Tinggi.
It's a French-themed resort...
The people who built the place apparently tried to make it look as authentic as possible.
The weather there was quite cool, literally!
For those of you who have been there, you should probably know what I'm talking about...
Me and my father took some pictures during the trip.
We took them using our handphones, so don't expect the pictures to be "crystal clear"!
Here they are...
Somewhere in the middle of an unknown village...
Oh my gosh, he's a giant!
I'm still holding my handphone. Unbelievable!
What are you looking at?
Would you believe that this is a wishing well?
Authentic, no?
The view of the village from the bell-tower.
Guess who?
Look into my eyes and tremble!
Somewhere in the so-called "Japanese Village"...
My little brother looks like a puppet!
That house is actually restricted to "outsiders"! Yikes!
This picture was taken somewhere in the Botanical Gardens, I think...
Finally, one of my friends in my previous school introduced me to a game called "Restaurant City", or "RC" for short. It's kind of like Mall Tycoon or Zoo Tycoon, but now players have to manage restaurants.
Honestly, I'm not really into this kind of thing. But I played RC for a while, and before I knew it, I was actually enjoying myself!
Soon, I had more RC points than Jannah!
But apparently my RC popularity is always stuck at around 37, 38 or 39! It's so frustrating!
Oh well, I'm going to advance to Level 8 anyway! What's the rush?
I am just a beginner, right?
Well, I guess that's it.
Comment me, kay?
May the Force be with you...

The Evergreen Game!
Okay, let's get straight to the point, shall we?
As you can clearly see, I've changed my text font from "Verdana" to "Arial". I hope it's okay. If you don't like it, just post a comment in my Jedi Hologram ( cBox ).
Anyway, I went to Ashman and Hari's house yesterday.
I went to Ashman's house first.
He lead me upstairs to his room. When I entered, I saw that he had already prepared a Chess set. I just couldn't help but smile! This guy really is obsessed about Chess!
After we played 2 rounds, he showed me an annotation of a Chess game between Adolf Anderssen and Jean Dufresne. It's known as the "Evergreen Game", and the variations in it are awesome!
Here is the annotation.
White: Adolf Anderssen
Black: Jean Dufresne
1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. Bc4 Bc5
4. b4 Bxb4
5. c3 Ba5
6. d4 exd4
7. O-O d3?!
8. Qb3!? Qf6
9. e5 Qg6
10. Re1! Nge7
11. Ba3 b5?!
12. Qxb5 Rb8
13. Qa4 Bb6
14. Nbd2 Bb7
15. Ne4 Qf5?
16. Bxd3 Qh5
17. Nf6+!? gxf6
18. exf6 Rg8
19. Rad1 Qxf3?
20. Rxe7+! Nxe7
21. Qxd7+! Kxd7
22. Bf5+ Ke8
23. Bd7+ Kf8
24. Bxe7 checkmate
For those of you who actually know how to read and interpret Chess annotations, do try and play out the "Evergreen Game". Trust me, it's worth it!
At 2.30 pm, Ashman's parents sent us to Hari's house. The weather was horrible. It was scorching hot!
When we arrived at Hari's house, we went into Hari's room and started rehearsing for our BM drama. Hazwan was there as well. He was the director.
Apparently, my friends couldn't stop thinking about Chess!
After we finished rehearsing for the drama, Ashman literally dived to the place where Hari keeps his Chess set!
He was that desperate!
After we played Chess, we played a board game called "Risk".
For those of you who don't know, "Risk" is a strategy game where a player gets to command miniature soldiers on a world map.
A player has to go to war against other players. The outcome of battles are determined by rolling dice.
So this game practically depends on luck.
But there's still quite a lot of strategy involved, such as positioning your troops at important locations, etc...
The objective: Conquer the world, duh!
We played for almost 2 hours. But we didn't manage to finish the whole game due to reasons that can't be explained.
I was the player with the least casualties throughout the whole game. I only lost one soldier!
Besides that, I watched a movie called "Apocalypto".
It was awesome! The storyline and plot was very interesting.
It was also kind of violent, but I guess "300" is worse than this.
Finally, I'll be getting my haircut tomorrow...
So, Jas, and everyone else who wants me to change my hairstyle, keep your fingers crossed!
Well, I guess that's it.
Comment me, kay?
May the Force be with you...

Such A Busy Week...
Alright, I'm back!
As I said in my previous post, I have to go to Haritharan's house at 3 pm today to rehearse for the upcoming BM drama next week.
But apparently, my mother had to go somewhere at 1 pm, so I have to change my plans. I have to go to either Ashman or Hazwan's house and stay there until 3 pm.
Ugh, I didn't manage to finish my Geography folio last night.
I was, erm, delayed...
I guess I'm going to have to finish my Geography folio at Ashman's house.
Ugh, and then there's that speech thingy for Puan Roslinda. I haven't even started looking for the text yet!
My father asked me to try and run the System Recovery for my old computer. He handed me the System Recovery disc and told me to put it into the disk drive. I entered the System Recovery screen and followed the instructions. Then, the recovery procedure began.
It took such a long time!
In the end, when the recovery was finished, I restarted the computer. I was so confident that the computer would finally work again.
When the start-up screen appeared, a strange message appeared. It says that the old computer had some sort of "System Configuration Error". Then, the computer hanged. I didn't even reach the welcome screen!
Oh well, I'm not surprised the computer is acting this way.
The computer is ancient, I tell you.
I've had it since I was seven years old.
I guess I better just forget about it...
Anyway, my mother recently bought a novel for me. It's called "The Supernaturalist" by Eoin Colfer.
I read a few pages, and it was awesome!
It's a science fiction novel, for your information...
Oh well, I guess that's it.
Comment me, kay?
May the Force be with you...
