It’s not that easy

Went to Education Fair in Mid Valley and PWTC.

Pursing a second degree or master?Honestly after seeing so many choices,it had been even more difficult to make a choice.I know I should have more experience since I already had a degree.And yes,I ask the correct questions and get all the answers I want.But it is not that easy.

Problems?Yes,a lot of things to clear up.Should I study in local Uni or oversea?A degree or Master?The fees are not cheap and where should I dig up money.I don’t want to make my parents to pay everything for me?

Or should I just work and be an ordinary person.I really want to go to oversea.I like the warm sun and moist monsoon here.But I also want to touch the snow and feel the other seasons.Studying aboard is really not cheap,why can I find the money for that?Studying in local in not bad but if the Uni is still using the old system like my previous Uni,I don’t think I can stand it any more.

It is not that easy.Big decisions like this is never easy.I had made a mistake in the past and fell hard.I wonder how many more mistake I can afford to make?I am 21 this year and I really can’t afford to fall again.I must make a decision and I may regret it for the rest of my life or glad for making it for the rest of my life?

It is not that easy…

The Summer of ‘99

It was the summer of '99
Under a red maple tree
I was 17
And you were 15
So young,so pure

We have love
And we thought it was all
We have each other
And we thought it was enough

Under the blue sky
We kiss
Under the warm sun
we cuddle
Under the blue sky
We laugh
Under the warm sun
We giggle

Then came the autumn
We saw red leaves falling down
We held each other tight
We saw the blue sky gone
And the warm sun turned cold
We swear we never say goodbye

And then it was the winter
The red maple tree covered by snow
Snowflakes in your hand
Melts and form a lake of icy water in your palm
You touched my face with your palm
And all I feel is the warmness between your fingers
All I feel is your warm touches on my face

Then the cold breeze gone
The last snowman in the backyard melts
And it was the first spring of the millennium
Flowers bloom in the field
And the red maple tree is alive again
But nothing is more beautiful than your eyes
Nothing cheer me more than your smile
Even the sun loses its charm
Because we have each other

Season come and season go
The red maple tree shade and regrow
It was the summer of '05
I was 23
You were 21
We have grown
And we start to forget
Forget how we love each other
Forget how we need each other
Forget we had each other

So we part away
We know it was a mistake
But we were just too proud to say sorry
We know we still love each other
But we were too proud to say sorry

Now
It is the winter of '10
The red maple tree covered by snow
Snowflakes in your hand
Melts and form a lake of icy water in your palm
You touched his face with your palm
And I bet all he feel is the warmness between your fingers
All he feel is your warm touches on my face He smiles to me
He is such as cute little boy
Who share the same name with me
He is your son
And I am your best friend
We may not be together
But we know we are not far apart

It was the summer of '99
Under a red maple tree
I was 17
And you were 15
So young,so pure.

Hot and Dry December…

Love the weather in Tanah Merah at this time of year. It can be sunny the whole day and suddenly starts to rain heavily during dusk.Sometimes the sun was so strong that you won’t realize that it is already monsoon season.

It usual rain non-stop during December.Then we will have big flood and everyone will be trapped at home.But this year,the raining season started early and all of a sudden stopped.Even Rantau Panjang is safe from flood till now.

I wonder why???

I won’t say that it is a must to flood every year,but it is still weird to have a hot and dry December here.But who knows maybe the raining season will be postponed to early next year.It will be very inconvenience,especially when the school reopen.Maybe this is why I rather had lots of rain NOW!!!

Although hot weather is NOT BAD because I can be outside more often,but it is just abnormal to have a December without heavy rain and flood.

So rain rain,please come!!!and STOP before early January …

Endless loop

 

And so it is
The sky is blue
The sun is warm
And the story never end
No laughter,no tears
It just goes on and on
Running like an endless loop.

倪安东-The Blower’s Daughter

无意中从报纸看到了倪安东的名字，另外一个“星光PK魔王”。他的首张专辑评论不错，大家都给了很高分。再从网上搜寻，发现他还真的挺红的，很多人都喜欢他的声音。最轰动的应该就是他在星光拿到33分的创举吧！

听过专辑后，最喜欢的就是那首在星光拿33分的The Blower’s Daughter了。CD和现场唱的都很好，但本身比较喜欢现场版的。只靠一支吉他伴奏，再加上倪安东本身很有感情的演绎方式，真的很有feel。

The Blower’s Daughter 翻译起来应该是吹风笛人的女儿还是吹牛者的女儿呢？看来要好好研究歌词后才能决定吧！

歌词如下：

The Blower's Daughter --- Damien Rice

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...
And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...
Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new

新家

不知不觉搬来这儿住已经8个月了，时间过得真快啊！他挺喜欢这里的，离市区很远，清净得很。他最讨厌车的声音了，尤其是车笛声，他觉得发出这种的人都应该被抓去关，太吵了，也太没素质了。

这里好，空气好，风凉凉的，大概是因为离山很近吧！他最喜欢隔着窗口看风景，看风吹树叶落在轻轻地草地上，都么美的感觉啊！窗口不能打开，大概是坏了吧，但没关系，毕竟这儿有些久了，再说这儿大概只有窗口打不开这个缺点吧！

他的房间在3楼，最高的那一层。最令他兴奋的是他住的是单人房，整个房间都是他的。这是件多么令人开心的事啊，“终于不用和别人挤在一起了。”这也难怪他，从小家里贫困，一家9口就挤在那间小小的木屋里。屋里只有3间房；一间是爸妈的，一间是大姐和五姐的，他和其他四位哥哥只能同住一间小房了。现在这间房布置很简单，只有一张床垫。还有还有一扇不能打开的窗口和一扇也同样不能打开的门。但还好他还有一群会帮他开门的好邻居。

邻居，他有好多好多邻居。有男的、有女的、有老的、有中年的、还有几个适合他差不多年纪的，但就是没有小孩，“可能这里的人都不育吧”他总是这么想。除此之外，还有一些其他的人也常到他这儿来玩，他们一律都穿上全身白的制服（应该是制服吧，他也搞不清）和黑色的皮鞋（应该都很名贵吧，他心里想）。他们来时大家都会很开心，因为他们会请大家吃糖果，喝饮料。他们给的糖果可特别了，设么颜色都有（有黄的、红的、蓝的、绿的，还有他最爱的粉红色）；饮料颜色就没那么特别了，全都是奶白色的，但没关系甜甜的，也蛮不错的。只是很奇怪的是这些人的制服这么都没换过啊，十次来十次都穿上同一件制服，但他们身上有没异味，“一定是用了很贵的香水掩盖味道了吧！”

说到食物，他就不得不提他这里的餐厅了。这里的餐厅很大很大，听说一次可容纳200人。200人是多少，他也不清楚，他从小数学就很差，加减乘除他无一通晓。餐厅的食物可好吃了，有炸鸡腿、汉堡包、蘑菇汤和他最爱吃的布丁，而且全都是免费的，多棒啊！邻居说这些食物都是那些白制服的上司出钱的，“多好的人，多善良啊！”他总是想。

他也不用工作了！多好啊！总算不用每天在猛烈的太阳下转动那该死的水泥了。他最讨厌那份工了，一个月才赚那几百块，还要天天挨骂。“都说我数学不好了，我真么知道这么算水泥和水的比例啊！”现在不是好多了吗？不用再算，不用挨骂了。每天就看看电视，和邻居谈谈天，要不然就画画了。白制服的大哥常常叫我们画画，他说这样才能抒发心里的感受。他很喜欢画画，而且也画得很好，白制服大哥也这么认为，但也告诉他不能老是画同一副图画啊。“我喜欢啊，我内心就是这么想的啊！”他不厌其烦的向白制服大哥解释。

白制服大哥倒是很好说话，但Sir就不同了。也不是说Sir很凶啦，但他就是有一股威严在。Sir是个好人，他是知道的。Sir最喜欢找人聊天了。Sir来的时候，他就会和几位邻居围个圆圈，和Sir聊天。他们会聊近况、聊他们画的画、聊他们的感受，Sir很少插嘴，只会静静地听，然后把一切写在一本小簿子了。他很好奇，但又不敢问，“也许他要把我们聊天的内容和他其他朋友分享吧！”

一个人住，会想家人吗？“当然会啊！”不知道大家过得这么样了？爸妈还好吧，虽然年纪大了，应该还挺硬朗的。大姐和大姐夫应该还忙着顾档口吧，听说生意越来越好咯。二哥、三哥、四哥也很忙吧！最聪明的六哥应该从大学毕业了吧！五姐呢？她还在伤心吗、还在难过吗？五姐夫已经离开一年多了吧，她也应该好起来了吧。不知道五姐原谅他了吗？但他真的不是故意的啊！他真的不是故意的啊！谁叫五姐夫一直骂他笨、骂他连水泥和水的比例也不会算？谁叫五姐夫明知道他不喜欢车笛声，还在半夜三更，他睡得正甜时，猛按车笛把他吵醒，骂他笨呢？他没有错啊！他真的没有错啊！连法庭都说他没有错啊！要不然这么不把他关在监狱里呢？连法庭都觉得他是无罪的，五姐应该就能原谅他了吧？原谅他后，他们就可以一家人到他的新家来看他了啊！“等他们一到，我一定要请他们吃餐厅了的炸鸡腿，介绍邻居和白制服大哥给他们认识，还有也要带他们看看我的新房间，大姐夫是锁匠，应该可以帮我修理窗和门吧。”

但他们何时才回来呢？还有，他们到底懂不懂如何来到他的新家-希望精神病院呢“没关系，就叫白制服大哥带路吧！好，就这么决定了！”

It’s a good day

It’s a good day today.Woke up early in the morning (forced by mum…) and the air today is so fresh.The cool breeze and the warm sun blow away all my unsatisfactory.

The tuition went on well….for me.I mean I enjoyed my teaching a lot today and if I were my student,I will be glad to have me as my teacher.Maybe because I think I am teaching something that she can really remember and make good use of in her future.Science,BM and Maths are treating me so kind (not sure about her but as long as she didn’t complain.it is good).Due to my good feelings,no homework for her today.All I need her to do for the rest of the day is memorizing a list of Penjodoh Bilangan cause I am going to give her a little test tomorrow.Oh,I am such a wonderful teacher.I love myself as a teacher ^^.**Yes Me!!!**

Lunch is fantastic today.Bitter gourd soup (Currently my No.1 favourite soup), Curry Fish in Indian Style, Fried Choi Sam,Pork with Potato and Mushroom.Every dishes taste so good and most importantly they are still so warm (Mum and Dad just finished cooking).**So satisfying**

Then, O Bin broke free.But today I managed to catch her with my bare hand and without using any form of food temptation.Feeding my dog and puppies which usually is a chaos was also done so smoothly today.**Thumbs up for myself again"**

Even the occasion rain didn’t spoilt my mood.Hope this wonderful streak will gone on the whole day…**Fingers crossed**

Lead Pokemon (The Quick and Fast)

Today we are going to talk about lead Pokemon.Choosing the right lead Pokemon is vital no matter in Wifi Battle or any battles in the game.Yeah,you can always switch Pokemon but you will miss a turn there and that can hurts (especially when we are dealing with those Dragon Dancers which will usually out speed you the next turn).

So what are the important factors in choosing your best lead Pokemon?Well,it depends on what are you trying to achieve.Anyhow,a quick Pokemon will always had the advantage.

For an example,a Starmie is a good lead.With its 115 base Speed it can outrun most of other Pokemon.Water is a good type.Only 2 weakness;Electric will be quite troublesome but Grass can easily be taken down by Ice moves which is common for Water Pokemon.Then,Surf is a nice move,95 base power with 100% accuracy,pair it with Starmie 100 base Special Attack and STAB,you can wipe out 3-4 opponents Pokemon easily.Then you will need Thunderbolt (another nice move with 95 base power and 100 accuracy) for Gyrados (especially) and other Water fellows.Recover is good and reliable,otherwise Power Gem can pack some surprises to encounter Bug and Flying type.Of course,Ice Beam is a must as stated above to wipe out Grass and OHKO most of the Dragon Pokémon. Psychic will have STAB but the coverage is just average.The same goes to Grass Knot.Yes it wll be useful in killing Water/Ground type but there are only a handful of those.

 

Jolteon is a good choice,too.Higher base Speed (130) and slightly higher (110) Special Attack than Starmie does come with a disadvantage,the very common Earthquake.Hidden Power Grass is good for water bulky Pokemon like Swampert and it should easily killed off less Special Defensive Pokemon like Dugtrio or Golem.Thunderbolt is a must ( 95 base power and 100 accuracy plus STAB).Shadow Ball will be useful in taking down Gengar and other Ghost Pokemon and Psychic too.Hidden Power Ice is another option especially when you are battling Glisor and Dragon Pokemon.Signal Beam is not as effective as Hidden Power Ice,but it may surprise your opponents.

Another surprisingly good lead is Ambipom.Another fast Pokemon (115) and a good Attacker (100),pair up with Technician (Raises move with 60 base power or less by 1.5 times),it will be an effective battler.Fake Out and U-Turn will be your prime strategy,especially during scouting.Fake Out will surely flinch a Pokemon (except those with Steadfast and Inner Force) and with Technician,can damage quite a lot.Then,if you can’t handle the Pokemon, U-Turn on your next turn which will further damage them.The next moves are optional,depends on what are planning to do.Thunder Wave is fine (many Ambipom in Battle Factory have it),Return is always a reliable STAB move and it hits hard.Nasty Plot and Swift combo will turn Ambipom into an unexpected Special Attacker.Substitute and Focus Punch to deal with Rock and Steel,however the Subs won’t last too long.Brick Break is a better and straight forward move although less powerful than Focus Punch.Protect and Last Resort are two other option.Protect will need a lot of prediction and make use of those moves with low PP.Last Resort is powerful but the buildup may be risky as you have to use all your other moves before it. 

易齐-某天某夜

人很奇怪，又是一段旋律、一段歌词就是会一直围绕在脑海里，久久也散不去。这首歌也许曾经陪你度过人生低潮、曾经带给你欢乐、曾经是你和某一个特别的人的主题曲…

就像这首易齐（现在已改名为易桀齐）的“某天某夜”。第一次听这首歌应该是在2002年的时候。地点，沙巴。在旅行的途中，从walkman听到这首歌的第一瞬间就爱上了这首歌。也不知道为什么，可能chorus部分很朗朗上口，而且歌词写得很感人吧！过后，也在沙巴的一间忘了名字的超级市场的某一间唱片行买了易齐的首张专辑《第一张创作专辑》。

又是要忘了真的很难，尤其当你是受伤的那一方。当你还在想念着那个伤害你的人时，她也许早就忘了你，正躺在那离开你的原因的怀里取暖。也许有一天你们还会在街上擦肩而过，但当你回过头时，却发现她已经不属于你了。

某天某夜

作词：易齐 作曲：易齐
那一天和那一夜 改写了我以后的一切一切
某一天某一夜我突然想念 那某一种温暖感觉
离开你建的堡垒好多年 你记不记得 当时我的脸
虽然我现在有很多改变 我想你还能 感觉就算擦肩
离开我你有没有在想念 你记得的事只有那一点点
还是你现在忙于收拾着 他的房间
这一天和这一夜 改写了我以后的一切一切
哪一天哪一夜我可以感觉 那某一种温暖感觉 
那一天和那一夜 改写了我以后的一切一切
某一天某一夜我突然想念 那某一种温暖感觉
离开你建的堡垒好多年 你记不记得 当时我的脸
虽然我现在有很多改变 我想你还能 感觉就算擦肩
离开我你有没有在想念 你记得的事只有那一点点
可能你现在忙于更远的 想念 想念

 

 

 

我的生活之十一月尾十二月的头三天

下了几天雨，今天的天气总算好些。太阳虽然懒洋洋地中午12点才开始上班，但至少扫除了这几天重重的潮气。也就是说总算有借口出门了，也不是家里呆不下去啦，只是如果能够过得开心些，为何不呢？

前几天都呆在家里当乖儿子。每天除了出去教补习以外，就是在家里睡觉、打机、听父母的唠叨、看电视，也还不错的。其实如果家里好好地，这样过雨季也是好的，至少以往都是这样过的。但今年不同，因为…原因不说了，因为多说无益，多说只会被骂。

今天街道上也是冷冷清清的，车辆比以往少，看来大家都选择在家里当宅男、宅女，也好啦。

今天也是这个星期以来较为轻松的一天，没有教补习嘛。对，我又开始教补习了，但我要再次重申，这并不代表我要当老师！！！（真不知道为何大家总是那么想）一个礼拜教5天，一天教3个小时，一天赚RM20，一个礼拜RM100，也不错啦！虽然赚的不多啦，但是这样做能减少老爸老妈的唠叨、又能充实得过，why not?再说，教教6年级的学生我还是迎刃有余的。

情意结 I

有很多事情不了解的人永远也不会尝到事情的甜酸苦辣。人，总要经历过，感受过，才能真正了解。就像不是马来西亚人，就不能了解“初恋红豆冰”里那种小镇情怀，也不能了解“Sepet”中阿龙和Orkid的感情那样。这就是身为马来西亚人对自己国家的情意结。不管你多么不满马来西亚的政治格局、社会百态，那个对自己国家的情意结还是无法磨灭的。

就像我对吉兰丹的情意结一样。刚到吉隆坡时，真的很诧异。在大家眼中，吉兰丹真的很不堪，大家都好奇的问我是如何生存的。在他们眼里，一个没有电影院、在超市付钱还要分男女、九成九居民都是马来人的地方，这么可能还会有像我这样的华人？吉兰丹对他们的印象是保守的、孤僻的、封建的、落后的。我很失落。解释也是枉然的，他们就是不能相信吉兰丹是个好地方。我很爱吉兰丹，不仅仅是因为她是我的故乡，更是因为我觉得这是全马种族关系最融洽的地方了。

就像我对Pokemon的情意结一样，也没多少人能了解。大家的第一反应通常是“好幼稚哦！”“你几岁啦？”“我的小弟弟、小妹妹才玩的！”“显死了，关眼睛都可以赢啦”老实说，会这样讲的都是业余的。你真的认为那么简单吗？你认为掌握17种不同属性，600++种不同的Pokemon，近千种的绝招那么容易吗？当然解释也是枉然的的。

 

KELANTAN’S FLAG

POKEMON’S LOGO

Japanese and English Name for Starter Pokemon

Names are important where it will determine how well can the fans recognize you.So in my opinion,starter Pokemon’s name should be simple and yet interesting.Some of the English names given are good but some of their original Japanese names are way more memorable.

Let’s start counting down following the Gen I Pokemon from the Kanto region.

KANTO

Grass	Fire	Water
English :Bulbasaur Japanese:Fushigidane	English:Charmander Japanese:Hitokage	English:Squirtle Japanese:Zenigame

Bulbasaur and Charmander are way better than their Japanese name.But I prefer Zenigame compared to the name Squirtle.

 

JOHTO

Grass	Fire	Water
English :Chikorita Japanese:Chicorita	English:Cyndaquil Japanese:Hinoarashi	English:Totodile Japanese:Waninoko

Both the English and Japanese name for the Grass Starter are good (since they are quite close,with only slight spelling differences).Cyndaquil definitely sounds cuter and Waninoko is just a little better than Totodile.

 

HOENN

Grass	Fire	Water
English :Treecko Japanese:Kimori	English:Torchic Japanese:Achamo	English:Mudkip Japanese:Mizugorou

Kimori is way cooler than Treecko.Achamo?Not so.Mizugorou?Too long to remember.Mudkip is more catchy.

 

SINNOH

Grass	Fire	Water
English :Turtwig Japanese:Naetle	English:Chimchar Japanese:Hikozaru	English:Piplup Japanese:Pochama

Turtwig is more descriptive and relevant name for Grass Starter.Hikozaru is cuter and more memorable (Ash kept calling it in the anime).Pochama is the better name because it is way more easier to pronounce.

 

UNOVA

Grass	Fire	Water
English :Snivy Japanese:Tsutarja	English:Tepig Japanese:Pokabu	English:Oshawott Japanese:Mijumaru

The English names for the Gen V starter are really really disappointing. Snivy?Tepig?Oshawott?Especially Oshawott are bad bad names.Their Japanese names are way more cuter,catchier and cooler… OMG!!!Can they still change the names???

郁闷

昨天早上下大雨没出门。楼下气氛还是那么的沉重，呆久了真的会忧郁死。还好房间是在楼上，至少那份忧郁飘不到那儿。整个早上就看戏、打电动，过得不错，但还是很闷。

本来打算中午出门，但天公还是不作美。老妈跟姑姑出门，老弟睡午觉，老爸也在书桌上半睡半醒中。楼下还是呆不下去，只好继续把自己关在房里。老爸问我怎么一直躲在房里？没有回答，但我觉得他从我眼中应该也看出些端倪来。外面雨下得好大好大，冷风拼命的从窗口吹进来，真的很冷。冷到我也搞不清，究竟是天气冷，还是我的心更冷。

像这样把自己躲在房里老半天不出来已经不是第一次了，也不会是最后一次。楼下太忧郁了，太沉重了，所有的快乐似乎被吸走了。本来计划好利用这段休息时间做的事情，现在也完全提不起经来。来得真不是时候…一直告诉自己不要埋怨、不要摆臭脸、不要表现的懊恼，但真的做不到。剩下的就只有把他透明化，不去多想。

还想说乘这次假期再搞一次全家旅行，看来是没机会了…

Official English Name for Gen V Starter

According to Bulbapedia,the official English name for the Gen V starter had been announced yesterday.

The Grass Starter will be called Snivy (Snake+Ivy)

The Fire Starter will be called Tepig

The Water Starter will be called Oshawott

And instead of Isshu,the new region will be known as Unova.

Pokemon Black and White will be released in Spring 2011 and will be available in Malaysia around March 2011( I guess)…

Looking forward to it!!!

囚鸟-彭羚

最近都比较喜欢听一些比较有年纪的经典老情歌，像这首彭羚的“囚鸟”就是当时很红的一首歌。十一郎写的歌词相当细腻，描绘一个寂寞女人无助的心情，想离开却又放不下的故事，很悲切。

歌曲一开始的那句“我是被你囚禁的鸟，已经忘了天有多高”描述被困在一段感情里的无奈感，写得相当贴切。此外，副歌部分更是把无奈、无助的心情形容的很棒。

歌词如下，希望大家也会喜欢哦！

囚鸟   词：十一郎    曲：张宇

我是被你囚禁的鸟
已经忘了天有多高
如果离开你给我的小小城堡
不知还有谁能依靠
我是被你囚禁的鸟
得到的爱越来越少
看着你的笑在别人眼中燃烧
我却要不到一个拥抱
我像是一个你可有可无的影子
冷冷的看着你说谎的样子
这撩乱的城市
容不下我的痴
是什么让你这样迷恋这样的放肆
我像是一个你可有可无的影子
和寂寞交换着悲伤的心事
对爱无计可施
这无味的日子
眼泪是唯一的奢侈
我是被你囚禁的鸟
已经忘了天有多高
如果离开你给我的小小城堡
不知还有谁能依靠
我像是一个你可有可无的影子
冷冷的看着你说谎的样子
这撩乱的城市
容不下我的痴
是什么让你这样迷恋这样的放肆
我像是一个你可有可无的影子
和寂寞交换着悲伤的心事
对爱无计可施
这无味的日子
眼泪是唯一的奢侈
我像是一个你可有可无的影子
冷冷的看着你说谎的样子
这撩乱的城市
容不下我的痴
是什么让你这样迷恋这样的放肆
我像是一个你可有可无的影子
和寂寞交换着悲伤的心事
对爱无计可施
这无味的日子
我的眼泪是唯一的奢侈

Battle Factory (Gen IV Version)

Had been playing Battle Frontier in Pokemon Heart Gold A LOT,lately.In my opinion,much more fun and challenging compared to the Gen III stuff.

My favourite facility,Battle Factory.Don’t get me wrong,my own Pokemon are awesome and capable of sweeping entire team with an ease,but using rental Pokemon is fun too.You can used those Pokemon that you haven’t had the chance to battle and their movepool are so fascinating.Besides that,it is really a true test on your strategy arranging and your knowledge on different Pokemon.

Between Lv 50 and Lv 100 rental Pokemon,it is hard to choose which one is more fun.Using Lv 50 Pokemon,the risk of one hit KO are much lower and Supporting Pokemon can set up a lot of status affecting moves.Lv 100 means more legendary Pokemon to be use and prediction is really really important.Single battle is all about trashing your opponent as fast as you could.Double battle will need a little more patient and strategy building.

Here are some of the interesting Pokemon I had used in my many many battles:

 

Shuckle

Movepool:

1. Substitute
2. Power Trick
3. Gyro Ball
4. Double Team

Shuckle had the highest Special Defense and Defense of all Pokemon.Moves which are not super effective will barely scratch it. With good prediction and luck (no super effective moves),you can basically swept a whole team.First,substitute.Then,double team for a few times to make sure your opponents attacks miss.Next,power trick which switch your attack and defense (making your low attack base to rise to the highest base among Pokemon).FInally,gyro ball your opponents (Gyro ball hits more the more you are slower from your opponents,which is ideal for Shuckle which had a base speed of 5).I even KOed a Dragonite using this strategy.

 

 

Porygon 2

Movepool:

1. Ice Beam
2. Psychic
3. Tri Attack
4. Thunderbolt

Porygon 2 is surprising bulky.It can take 3 STAB Earthquake from Nidoking without fainting.Not very fast Pokemon,but it can be a great Special sweeper.Tri Attack hit many Pokemon and have potential to KO them(STAB+High Special Attack).Ice Beam will take care of Dragon,Ground,Grass etc.Psychic is so effective against Poison and Fighting.Thunderbolt will kill all those Water (especially the dangerous Gyrados) and Flying types.

 

Metagross

Movepool:

1. Meteor Mash
2. Zen Headbutt
3. Earthquake
4. Explosion

Metagross is a pseudo legendary Pokemon and yes it is strong. STAB Meteor Mash and Zen Headbutt hit hard.Earthquake will deal with other Steel types.If Metagross is fainting,Explosion will take down your opponent (expect Ghost Type).

RuRu-美丽心情

最近这一首歌一直在耳边旋绕着。以前很喜欢这首歌，也很喜欢RuRu这位歌手，不知现在她还有唱歌吗？

美丽心情，也是我最近比较缺少的。近来，一觉睡醒，走到楼下看一看，好心情就会突然消失了，取代的是一种厌恶感、无奈感。好想逃离，却又不知道该逃到哪儿。

歌词中有写到“多雨的冬季总算过去，天空微露淡蓝的晴”，我的心情何时才会像那样，恢复晴朗呢？我要何时才能找到属于自己的美丽心情呢？

美丽心情
演唱：RuRu
专辑：《跟我说 Sweet Talk》
作词：姚谦
作曲：中岛美雪

多雨的冬季总算过去
天空微露淡蓝的晴
我在早春清新的阳光里
看着当时写的日记
原来爱曾给我美丽心情
像一面深遂的风景
那深爱过他却受伤的心
丰富了人生的记忆

只有曾天真给过的心
才了解等待中的甜蜜
也只有被辜负而长夜流过泪的心
才能明白这也是种运气
让他永远 记得曾经有一个人
给过完完整整的爱情

那曾经爱着他的心情
有一股傻傻的勇气
那深爱过他却受伤的心
丰富了人生的记忆

只有曾天真给过的心
才了解等待中的甜蜜
也只有被辜负而长夜流过泪的心
才能明白这也是种运气
让他永远 记得曾经有一个人
给过完完整整的爱情

只有曾天真给过的心
才了解等待中的甜蜜
也只有被辜负而长夜流过泪的心
才能明白这也是种运气
当我安安心心地走在明天里
有不后悔美丽的心情

Tibbs right in the middle of an unspeakable crime that cost a young woman her life. Tibbs finds himself trapped in the underworld of a local crime syndicate which has a need to administer a terrifying revenge on the family members of a rival family.

Reason why it is in the Top 3:I love NCIS,McGee is a character that I can linked myself to (minus the computer genius part).Murder-solving is one of my favourite genre and because the characters in it are so damn cool!!!

 

 

No 1:

"The Attraction Equation"

Author: Prof. Charlie Rppes

Origin: CBS’s Numb3rs

Brief Summary: A decision theoretic approach to relationships.Will tell you the best way to tackle relationship issues,logically.

Reason why it is in the Top 3:For someone with quite low level of social skills and always fail in maintaining a relationship,this book will definitely be a great help. Besides,those theory parts in the book will make more sense to me compare to those abstract,meaningless craps in most relationship related books.

 

Carbonated drinkholic

Many people are addicted to alcohol,so we call them alcoholic.

Many people are addicted to drugs,so we call them junkies.

How about people like me, who is addicted to carbonated drinks?

Carbonated drinkholic?

I am very quite a good and honest boy man.I don’t smoke,I don’t gamble and I don’t consume liquor. However,I had an extremely soft spot for carbonated drinks.You name it and I like it.Pepsi Twist,Vanilla Coke,Miranda Orange,7UP,100 Plus,Rootbeer…

My mum will always say,you study science you should know how bad are carbonated drinks to your body.Yes,mum!I know!I know that carbonated drinks will cause diabetes,brittle bones,infertile,obesity,toothache…But I just can’t help myself.

Especially when I am all alone.At my hometown,I am able to control myself and only had one bottles every few days.I will sneak to any shops nearby and get a dose.Then,I will finish it of on my way back home.I enjoyed those moments.

However,during my Uni life in KL,let’s say that I am a little out of control.KL is a great place where there are 7-11 and shops everywhere.Hence,there are unlimited supplies of carbonated drinks,not to mention the great variety.As a result,most of my pocket money are spend on buying carbonated drinks.I almost drink a tin/bottle per day.My friends will always say: “Wow,you want to die earlier ah?” My standard answer will be: “I can’t control lah!!!”

 

I really want to stop!Not stop entirely but cut down the amounts as low as I could (May 2-3 tins/bottles per month).I really do but as I mention I can’t help myself.Everytime I see shelves filled with carbonated drinks,I can’t stop my hand from grabbing one…

How can I resist a temptation like this???Argh!!!!

Stephen King once said:

“Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.”

For me,I will be:

“Pepsi are refreshing, and Coke are sweet too. They live inside me, and always, they win”

你不知道的事-王力宏

 

并不是王力宏的超级歌迷，但不能否认他的有歌还蛮不错的。

就像这首他的新歌，听说还是他的电影主题曲：你不知道的事

蝴蝶擦几次眼睛 才学会飞行 
夜空洒满了星星 但几颗会落地 

我飞行 当你坠落之际 
很靠近 还听见呼吸 
对不起 我却没捉紧你 

你不知道我为什么离开你 
我解释不能说放任你哭泣

你的泪滴想倾盆大雨 碎落满地
在心里惊醒 

你不知道我为什么很小心
可现在你看不见的高空里
多的是 你不知道的事 

蝴蝶擦几次眼睛 才学会飞行 
夜空洒满了星星 但几颗会落地 

我飞行 当你坠落之际 
很靠近 还听见呼吸 
对不起 我却没捉紧你 

你不知道我为什么离开你 
我解释不能说放任你哭泣

你的泪滴想倾盆大雨 碎落满地
在心里惊醒 

你不知道我为什么很小心
可现在你看不见的高空里
多得是 你不知道的事 

我飞行 当你坠落之际 
噢噢~
你不知道我为什么离开你 
我解释不能说放任你哭泣

你的泪滴想倾盆大雨 碎落满地
在心里惊醒 

你不知道我为什么很小心
可现在你看不见的高空里
多的是 你不知道的事 

报考华文

在帮老爸处理明年中四报考华文的名单时，很遗憾的发现到偌大的SMK Dato Mahumud 1,只有区区的43位华裔子弟报考华文。43位！整个中三应该有差不多100位华裔生，报考华文的还不到一半！

为什么呢？

很难拿A+？

会把整体成绩搞垮？

朋友不拿？

父母不鼓励拿？

很难？

上课时间在星期五？

 

都是什么烂借口啊！！！不是每间中学都有华文班。既然有老师教，为何不拿呢？如今华文有多重要应该不容置疑了吧。那么为什么不拿呢？身为华人子弟，不拿华文，像话吗？在一间有教华文的中学上课，不拿华文，这么对得起那些想拿也不能拿的学生呢？

拿不到A+又怎样？拿完全部A+就一定能拿到政府奖学金，JPA或者是Matriks吗？

无可否认，要拿A+确实不容易，但这正是能够证明我们实力最好的方法啊！90分拿A+难道不会比50分拿A+更能令人满足吗？90分拿A+才是真正的优秀，真正的有实力啊！难考代表水准高~是好事啊！

语言和文字都是民族的根！把根插得扎实，文化才能传承下去！所以报考华文绝对是我们身为华人子弟的使命！不要再给自己诸多借口了！

爱华文，就要报考华文！！！

The beginning of the monsoon season?

It had been raining since Saturday night,non-stop.Sometimes it is cat and dog,other times the rain is pretty heavy.

The downside of the non-stop rain are:

1. can’t go out
2. clothes won’t dry
3. “Service currently unavailable” is what we get from Astro
4. always hungry
5. the dogs will be howling whole day (They just don’t like this weather)

The benefits of the non-stop rain are:

1. sleeping will be most enjoyable
2. save electricity and money (no need air cond and sometimes even fan)
3. cold weather is always good for reading+a cup of hot coffee on bed.

Came out this morning and the road is filled with water.My house is kind of becoming an isle in isolation.Although the drainage system had been improved but it doesn’t help much.If the rain still doesn’t stop,no doubt there will be flood again.

So the most important thing to do now is stack lots of food at home and just enjoy the cold cold weather.

Sense of Guilt

I am too easy to feel sorry,even when I am not wrong.It is my weak spot and everyone seems to be using it against me. I won’t blame them but …

It is hard to stay firm.My decision will always be different when people starting to speak to me in a “disappointing” tone. I just can’t help myself but say no when sometimes I really don’t want to. Like today!

Damn!Really hope I would just harden my heart and say no.Then I probably won’t be feeling miserable now.

Anyway,I had made the decision which is not in favor with me and I had to live with me.

One day,will  I be totally screwed by these sense of guilt? Hope not!

苦瓜萝卜瘦肉汤

 

今天的菜不大对味，只好亲自下厨。

第一次尝试苦瓜萝卜瘦肉汤。

材料：

125克瘦肉

1根苦瓜

1根萝卜

3片蒜头

盐少许

冬菇粉少许

水

做法：

1. 把苦瓜、萝卜、瘦肉清洗干净。
2. 把苦瓜切成条状，用盐巴腌制（去掉苦味）。
3. 把萝卜切片。
4. 把瘦肉切片。
5. 把水煮开。
6. 先把蒜头丢入开水中。
7. 把切片的瘦肉也投入开水中。鲜红的瘦肉只要变成灰白色就算熟了。
8. 待水再次煮开，就把萝卜和苦瓜丢入开水中。
9. 当水再次煮开，用适量的盐巴和冬菇粉调味。

简单但美味、有营养的苦瓜萝卜瘦肉汤就完成了！

连锁反应

 

最近都起得晚，仿佛又回到大学时代没事做的周末。

这应该就是心情起伏很大最主要的原因吧！

或许近日来的诸事不顺也跟mood swing有关吧！

觉得苦恼就是样样事都不顺利造成的吧！

常常失眠，躺在床上无法入睡也是太多烦恼导致的吧！

迟睡这么能早醒呢？

难怪 难怪

看见报纸摊在沙发上、地上、椅子上，老妈就会忍不住开始唠叨了。

I told you how many times already!Arrange the newspaper nicely after reading!

I haven’t finish reading lah.Later I will keep lah.

Keep now!You don’t feel untidy ah!

No lah.Nobody will care.

I care!

 

交完补习回家，发现厨房里的碗碟乱成一片、老弟的水罐到处都是，老爸就会忍不住开始唠叨了。

哎哟，你们不觉得很乱吗？

没有啦！

屋子这么乱你们也没关系的哦！

哎呀，酱晚了。又不是有人会来看啦！

我会！

 

之前，我还一直想两个背景完全不同的人这么结成夫妻。现在想想，难怪难怪！！！^^

徐佳莹-Love

最近一直再听LaLa徐佳莹的新专辑《极限》。

里头最爱的歌就是有点哼唱式的歌曲：Love。歌词写得很有趣，有点通俗，但却很对我的胃口。曲风也朗朗上口，一听就很难忘了。

歌词如下：

看着你的脸  我真是想要为你唱一首歌
不管看几遍都大意不得
老套了点  我却真的第n遍为你深陷了
看着你的脸  我真是想要为你唱一首歌
然后我会问你感觉如何？
最好是  你  也情不自禁再度为我深陷了

爱情招摇不得  但我真的真的忍不住了
爱得通俗  爱得自得其乐
简单的和弦就能道尽我心中的
love  love  love …..
我真的真的忍不住了
当我们徜徉在爱恨里头
什么番石榴歌都能是超经典的情歌

看着你的脸  我真是想要为你唱一首歌
不管看几遍都大意不得
老套了点  我却真的第n遍对你好奇了
看着你的脸  我还是想要为你唱一首歌
然后我会问你感觉如何？
最好是  你  也情不自禁再度为我深陷了

爱情招摇不得  但我真的真的忍不住了
爱得通俗  爱得自得其乐
简单的和弦就能道尽我心中的
love  love  love …..
我真的真的忍不住了
当我们徜徉在爱恨里头
什么番石榴歌都能是超经典的情歌

Pokemon White’s Team Rooster

This is the most likely team I will be using :

 

Enbuoo

My most likely starter Pokemon.Yet another Fire/Fighting Pokemon.Have super high Attack and quite amazing Special Attack.Speed is rather low but not bad for a starter.

 

Zeburaika

A Electric zebra.Also another Pokemon with amazing Attack and a nice ability:Motor Drive (Raise Speed if hit with Electric Move).Its Speed is already very high and combine with this ability,definitely can be a sweeper.

 

Desukan

A Ghost type Mummy Pokemon. Very special design if you ask me.Very high Defense and Special Defense. High Special Attack like most other Ghost Pokemon. But the Speed is kinda low,so hope it will have a good movepool.

 

Aakeosu

Rock/Flying Pokemon derived from a fossil.Very very good Attack,Special Attack and Speed. Will be a powerhouse but the ability Weak-kneed is kinda worrying.

 

Sazando

A very evil looking Dark/Dragon Pokemon.It could be the pseudo legendary Pokemon of Gen V.As usual,great stats and hope it will also come with a great movepool.Both Defenses are 90,but not to worry cause not many Pokemon can score Crits againts Sazando.

 

For the last slot,I will like a Water Pokemon.We have Gyrados in Gen I,Milotic in Gen III but nothing really stands out this Gen.So I decide the better choice will be

Hiyakki

A Water Type Monkey?Stats is OK.Attack and Special Attack is 98 and Speed is 101.Not very outstanding so the movepool better be good and it better can learn Surf.

 

Looking forward to get my 1st playing experience soon.

Pokemon Black and White

Nothing can really cheer me up these few days.Trapped in Kepong with my post-operation grandma and aunty is very very depressing.Her house is so far from the town and the nearest place to get food is around 20 minutes foot journey.

Nevertheless,as a good and obedient grandson (ahem… ),I was given the responsibility to babysit my grandma till (God knows when…)she recover fully and can go back to Kelantan.

Back to title I mentioned above,Pokemon Black and White will be released in 3 days time.This is the ONE AND ONLY news that will lighten my gloomy day a bit.

Pokemon Black and White is the fifth generation (Yes,the fifth!!!Dont be so surprised.) of Pokemon.Judging from the preview and news I saw and heard,this will be another awesome generation with many new Pokemons,new abilities,new attacks,new battling style and new adventures.Although the version 1st released will be in Japanese,but I will still hope to dig it somewhere from the Net and had the 1st hand experience on playing.

So I hope my Internet connection in this isolated from civilization area will be fine for the next few days.I will need to know all the latest news in the shortest time!All the Pokemon-chasing genes in my body are ready to receive all the surprises the game will offer!

第五届海外华文书市

9月4日至12日在KL Convention Center盛大举行。

每一届都不会缺席的我，怎么能错过这一届呢？而且还一连去了3天，完全放任自己在滔滔书海中。

书还是一样多，人也出乎意料多。但这是件好事，代表咱们马来西亚人还是喜欢看书的。今年的嘉宾也不少，也凑热闹的看了一两场的烹饪示范。

来到这么大的一个书市，最重要的还是看书和买书咯！不用说，这一次收获也是满满的，当了难得一当的败家子。3天时间花了大约RM200，买了10本书。心痛嘛？是有一点啦。但心痛很快就被厚实的满足感淹没了。老实说，10本算少了，如果可以我还想买更多呢！因为好书实在太多太多了！而且价格也比往常便宜太多太多了！

 

我的败家满满的收获！！！

我最爱的作家Ａｇａｔｈａ Ｃｈｒｉｓｔｉｅ的书！！！

一本ＲＭ２４，三本ＲＭ４８。这么可能不买呢？？？

Ａｇａｔｈａ Ｃｈｒｉｓｔｉｅ 的秘密笔记。有原作手稿、作者创作手札、两篇从未问世的作品。再贵我也会买啊！！！

而且还是很新很新的书！８月１日刚刚出版，这么快就能买到了！！！

另外一位自己很喜欢的作家－倪匡的书《心变》。不是卫斯理的故事，但没关系，故事照样会很精彩、很刺激。

悬念之父：Ａｌｆｅｒｄ Ｈｉｔｃｈｃｏｃｋｓ《借刀杀人》。西方世界最著名的悬念片导演的故事集应该也会很好看的！

静思书轩也参与了书市，怎么能不支持呢？

还一口气买了３本自己很早就想拥有的书籍。花费不少，但我花得心甘情愿。

《一念间》是何日生师伯与慈济的心路历程、《欢喜有缘》是大爱剧场改编王成枝师伯的故事、清水之爱是关于骨髓捐赠。

另外也要感恩阿涵陪我逛了两天的书市＾＾
