Why Don’t You Think Of A Title For This Post?

Books
I confess I haven’t been reading enough lately. Because I don’t seem to find the time to do so. Added to that, I am also very good at coming up with a lot of excuses not to find time to read. Bought a couple of books previously and haven’t even finished reading any of them. So what’s the best thing to do?

Buy more books.

Hahahaha.

You saw that one coming didn’t you? emoticon

I am currently reading Nicholas Sparks’ The Choice. I’m about to finish and already feel like crying, as usual. What I really can’t wait is to read Mister B. Gone by Clive Barker. Got it from Borders the other day. I will review this book another time, IF I can finish it. IF is a really BIG WORD here.

(While I googled for the book image, I stumbled upon Google’s Book Search webpage, check it out! Really cool! It’s like an online library google-fied!)

Career Advice for Nobody in Particular
If you think you’re a junior, then you will always be a junior.

Nike Human Race
I am so pissing mad that Nike closed the registration for the Human Race earlier than noticed. What is their problem? But I thought this is a race for charity or some sorts? Can there be too much charity? Bloody hell. This makes me so want to run for the Standard Chartered Marathon again.

Which I will. I will sign up this weekend. I’d probably run the 21km.

Spending Unnecessary Money
Guilty as charged.

SingFest
I really want to go to SingFest. I just want to see OneRepublic. I hope they’ll play all their songs in their album. I hope the concert won’t be full of posers. Cos I want to be one. Tee hee hee.

Nickelback
Nickelback ROCKS!!!!

Stupid Laptop
My stupid work laptop’s USB ports are all spoilt. It’s NOT working. Can’t use my mouse like I always did. Can’t plug in my speaks like I always did. Working takes twice as long because of this handicap. Tiuz. Heard that USB ports can’t be fixed. Shit.

Dobinmushi
I am so terribly in love with Dobinmushi. If you go to a Japanese restaurant, you gotta try Dobinmushi. The soup is out of this world. Best. I have it everytime I’m at Sakae or Ichiban Sushi. Lemon must be squeezed. Thank you.

Karma & Jogging & Mac & PC

Just the other day I remembered laughing at Kenny because he said he jogged 2 rounds then he got tired.

Karma has visited me.

I just got back from a jog following this outburst to drown out all the anger and frustration. Barely into the 5th song, and already panting like a really tired dog. And I only jogged 2 rounds at the park nearby. Saw 3 guys fighting and a boy with a bloody head being treated by medical officers. Ah, getting too much distraction and decided to stop jogging.

I’m such a failure! Terrible. I am wondering how I’m going to survive the marathon end of this year. Tsk tsk tsk. Maybe I just need better running shoes hehehe. But it’s good to sweat out after a long long time.

I swear to you I can really feel the earth move cos I am still getting these dizzy spells.

I’m dying to get a gaming machine like Stan’s, because I want to play Clive Barker’s Jericho as well as be prepared for Diablo 3. I want to play Diablo 1, Diablo 2 and Clive Barker’s Undying too. I love these dark games, like Silent Hill, Fatal Frame and even Hexen (really super old game). My hands are so itchy for these. I WANT MY OWNNNNNNNNNNNNN (hint for someone).

So I’ve been contemplating buying a personal notebook/PC and it’s between a Mac or a PC. I love the Mac interface and I think everything about it is just so cool. Like just holding it in under your arms and pose for 5 seconds also look cool. But Mac isn’t really good for gaming hor? But I google Mac vs PC and you can always find someone dissing PC and praising Mac lor.

Anyway, share with you this great site about Mac ;) It’s really funny hahahaha.

Haih.

You know, there are so many things I want to say but, I’m too tired already from the jog.

Sigh. I’m so lousy.

A change of picture can do wonders

Filed under: MaRvELpersonal, Cool Sites

Lately, I have been having followers on my Twitter.

I suspect it happened because I changed my picture. Kanasai. Anyway, not complaining. Am very proud of it, hehehe. Wooo hooo I got fans wor. Delusion.

(Please please please don’t un-follow me.) 

I downloaded a very cooooool application for easier update to Twitter. Get this, it’s called Tweetr. No surprises there eh? Just follow the instructions on the link and try it. It’s currently on beta so expect a lot of glitches.

Here’s a snapshot of my Tweetr:

 

 

So what you need to do is to just launch this application on your computer, key in, and you’re done updating. I know it works kinda same with GoogleTalk or web browser but this is so flashingly cool because it uses Flash. For users like me who’s into Rich User Experience thang, I like it.

I am a geek. For today.

Escape room games

Filed under: Cool Sites

Do you like to play games online? I do.

I’m not talking about those Ragnarok or games that increases your character’s dexterity or level or whatever.

I’m talking about games that are available online, that you don’t have to download and install on your computer and risk having your IT manager find out. Hehehe.

You know what? I am really addicted to Escape Room Games. I’m sure geeks like you and me have at least played one of the escape room games right?

You’ve never? Lame laah.

Try playing the first ever coolest escape room games from FASCO-CS. Here’s the link. There are 3 rooms, Crimson Room, Viridian Room and White Chamber. Just click on the picture, wait for the game to load and you can start playing immediately in your web browser.

The objective of the game is to escape the room, by pointing and clicking with your mouse, try to search for items or clues that will lead to getting keys or passwords that will allow you to escape. Simple eh?

Not so, need some IQ wan dumbass. I’ve already escaped the 3 rooms WITHOUT looking at walkthroughs. I’m so smart.

There are 2 more sites I frequently lame at to play escape room games, here and here

escape room

 from freegamesnews.com

 

Be careful wor, it is really addictive man. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Too Damn Stoned Over Heroes

I had a dream last night. I was one of the Heroes. Although, what my abilities were, I don’t know. Can’t remember.

heroes 

As everyone wanted to catch Sylar, the trick was to lure him to into my house and once I give the signal, everyone would be here. In my dream, I even remembered hiding both my parents into the toilet and lock it up. Besides hiding my parents from Sylar, I was also hiding my abilities from them, although what my abilities were, I don’t know.

Anywhooo, Sylar came at last, and he was pleasant. He was sitting on the table, eating nasi lemak and was telling me stories about his childhood. Apparently, he used to be fed Scott’s Emulsions too when he was a kid! He must have grown up from Malaysia, I mean, every Malaysian kid has taken Scott’s Emulsions right? Yeh, that fishy goo.

So to save the world, I know Sylar must be killed. I went into the next room and tried to call Peter Petrelli, our team leader, but I hesitated, cos Sylar has that power to hear things amplified. Oh no what should I do? I can’t handle Sylar alone, I’d be dead! I don’t even know what powers I have!

And before I move an inch, in storm Peter Petrelli and everyone else! Hooray!

But in a split second, Sylar was gone.

But wait, what is that? What were the Heroes holding? Plastic bags? With vegetables? Like just back from market?

This is bad.

And before I figure out what’s going on, Heroes started cooking in my kitchen, chopping onions, peeling tomatos, cleaning the house.

Hmmm….

Time to get my parents out, they’ll love this!

Anyway, here’s a very good website to go to if you’re a fan of Heroes. I love the way the author analyzes the episodes.

The Dating Persona

Filed under: MaRvELove, Cool Sites
  The Wild Rose
Random Brutal Love Dreamer (RBLD)

shmolorful, but unpicked. You are The Wild Rose.

Prone to bouts of cynicism, sarcasm, and thorns, you excite a certain kind of man. Hoping to gather you up, he flirts and winks and asks you out, ultimately professing his love. Then you make him bleed. Why? Because you’re the rare, independent, self-sufficient kind of woman who does want love, but not from a weakling.

You don’t seem to take yourself too seriously, and that’s refreshing. You aren’t uptight; you don’t over-plan. Romance-wise, sex isn’t a top priority–a true relationship would be preferable. For your age, you haven’t had a lot of bonafide love experience, though, and this kind of gets to core of the issue. You’re very selective.


Your exact female opposite:
The Dirty Little Secret

Deliberate Gentle Sex Master
The problem is them, not you, right? You have lofty standards that few measure up to. You’re out there all right, but not to be picked up by just anyone.

"You’re never truly single as long as you have yourself."

ALWAYS AVOID: The Bachelor (DGSM)

CONSIDER: The Vapor Trail (RBLM).
