Good service is important

In the morning, I brought the ppl out for a course. We hired a bus to bring them there. The bus uncle is super unfriendly. You smile at him, he shows u a stoned face. So a couple of ppl were late. After about ten minutes, he asked whether we can go. "Can we wait for 5 more minutes?" I requested. "No! I'm already running late!" He retorted. Fine. We boarded the bus, when we reach and alighted, I thank him for the trip and apologised for the delay earlier. No reaction from him. What an idiot.

After the course, we called for the uncle to fetch us. The uncle "chut pattern" again. There's two doors for boarding, but he only open the back door. When some guys stood at the front door waiting for him to open it, he just stared right back. Cock man! He finally open when I signaled him to do so. When we were back, again we thanked him for the return trip, but still no reaction from him. I really hate to say this, but you are a F****** A******. If you dun like this job, dun do it. Don't show your passengers a F*** face.

Some time after the above incident. I was waiting for a bus at the bus stop to go to my apartment. The bus took a real long time to come, and I was feeling quite irritated. Eventually it came, and I board the bus rather pissed. What come next was a surprise, the bus driver smiled, and greeted me "good afternoon." Just a simple gesture and two words, I felt so much better. The grouchy uncle should really learn from this driver. That's what good service is about.

Next me and mf went to a hardware shop to get the aluminium track for our curtains. The auntie was very friendly, though she was quite busy as well. When her grandson (I suspect he's her grandson) tried to help her, she nagged at him on what he need to do until the grandson gave up. This auntie reminds me of my own auntie actually, who always nag at my sis when doing the house chores. I can't really describe it well, but it was really funny, especially since I'm not the one being nagged at. I think old people actually they meant well when they nag, but well... Anyway, the hardware shop auntie advised us on what we need for the curtain and help us packed everything. She also gave us a discount from the final price. So nice!

PS: I was so happy we settled the curtains part for a low cost. We don't even need to worry about the installation part as the contractor agreed to do it for us.

Why are there more left handers?

The reason why there is more left handers now is because they are not being discriminated or orstracised anymore. In the olden days, especially in Asia, lefthanders are thought to be abnormal. People borned lefthanded were forced (usually by parents) to learn to use their right hand predominately. As time passes they became righthanders. Nowadays, nobody care anymore, whether you are a left or right hander. Hence there seems to be "more" lefthanders now.

This is her?

白羊吗？白羊很善良，心中总是想着别人，很多时候愿意委屈自己而成全别人，但由于白羊不能掩饰自己的情感，凡事争锋，有什末不满就会立刻表露出来，于是不能将美事做尽，落个彻底的好人，其实，白羊是那种死要面子活受罪的人。面子，比白羊的生命还重要！白羊最不能容忍的就是别人贬低他、瞧不起他！白羊很温柔，只要你没惹着他，你可以随便与他嬉戏。但如果你要是有什么一不小心的举动触犯了他，则最好赶快给自己准备个棺材。白羊极富正义感，喜欢让不公正的事情昭雪。在白羊心中，喜欢就是喜欢，讨厌就是讨厌，没那么多的的暧昧不清。

This is me

天蝎，平时看来是个比较和气的人，一般不爆发，爆发时绝对是喷涌而出的，有着强大的震慑力。 　　

敏感的蝎子其实并不那么开得起玩笑，当然他们能敏锐地分辨出你话里的真实含义，善意的玩笑他们还是不会拒绝的。但带刺的话他们绝对能马上听出，他能感受到你语气中的真实的感情成分。很自我的蝎子绝对不容忍别人侮辱他贬低他。

从来都是是猛烈的瞬间爆发，不明白的人奇怪怎么突然发这么大脾气，其实真实情况是，他忍着气已经很久很久了，只是你硬逼他爆发的。他满脸的笑容很多时候都不是发自内心的，只是为了场合的需要，真正谈得来并懂得他们的朋友一般很少很少。生命中他重视的人他一定会倾力保护，蝎子为了保护那个人时，显现出的感情是强大的。这个人最大的可能就是曾在蝎子需要时给过真正理解温暖关爱的人。蝎子对那些对他真心好的人绝对是记在心上的，没有太多的表面的东西。蝎子对自己的爱人也有着强烈的掌控欲，只有当那个她只对他一个人好的时候，他才感觉安心，他希望她能常陪在他身边，希望她能经常依靠他。 蝎子比较喜欢不带表情的说话做事，蝎子本质是不爱笑的，尤其不习惯在一大堆人之间肆无忌惮地笑，蝎子习惯浅浅地一笑。他们确实常给人缺乏亲和力的印象，哪怕是他已经认识到了这点并试着去改变了，结果还是会发现，一不留神，他和人的距离感又莫名地产生了。
敏感的蝎子有时会莫名地收住笑容，这会给别人不好的印象，他们会纳闷并猜想你突然沉下脸的原因，很多时候，蝎子和人的隔阂就是这么产生的。 在蝎子的生命中总有一种向往孤独的特质。 　　他们即使在受不了凄寂的同时，又渴望得到只有在孤独时才能享受到的自我极致发挥和无丝毫保留的面对现实。 　

A Rat!

Yesterday, while I was burning the joss paper as usual, I saw a rat! Now, I know that there are sometimes rats at the ground floor, occasionally out for a breather from the drains, but I certainly wasn't expecting them on the fifth floor. Did they take the lift?

Anyway, that rat scared the hell out of me. I think I probably scared the hell out of it too. Dad tried to catch it, but it ran into our neighbour's pots of plants and we lost it. I suspect that as of now the rat is still hiding there, which is quite scary as it means that our path may cross again. For now I just have to be alert so as not to be surprise again. lol.

Valhalla Knights 2 Walkthrough

I'm currently playing this game on PSP, and I realise that there is no walkthrough for this game available online. The purpose of this post, is to share my experience of playing the game, so that if any of you folks out there are playing this game and are stuck somewhere, hopefully you can find the solution here.

I'm not going to write a detailed walkthrough though, so dun expect every little details here. You can always leave a comment behind so we can discuss it though. Anyway here goes...

When you start a new game, you are required to create your character. You can choose from various races, but if you are new to Valhalla knights like me, I suggest you choose human, which is the most balanced race. After a few customisation, the story will begins.

The first battle, i believe, is one which you can't lose. In fact, it's over in like 5 secs? Ya, so just move with the story after that. After a few cut scenes, you are required to move to a few areas in the town ( dun worry it's a very small area), and you are on your way to the very first quest of the game. By the way, I chose the job fighter, you can choose any other job i guess, and tell me of your experience.

Yes the game is all about quests and exploring dungeons (at least that's what I think for now). You go into the "Slums" once out of town. The monsters here are quite weak, so you can still fight them individually. There will be a treasure box in the first area giving you 1000 gold.

So here's an important point. Once you have the 1000 gold, head back to the town and save.

It's important because if you are defeated out of town, you will be sent back to the inn, but the innkeeper will take half of whatever you have. So if you have 1000 gold, he will take 500, which at this point is a lot! Now, the next important thing is to get an ally (meaning party member).

Being new to this game myself, I din realise I need to do that, so I spent a lot of time slugging out with the monsters in the slums alone. But with the 1000 gold you have right now, you can go to the guild, talk to the fat woman, choose ally, find new ally, and create an elf, giving him/her the job priest (if you are not one yourself). You need to talk to the fat woman again to add the ally to your party.

A priest can use healing magic which can heal the party members. His MP will also recover automatically as you walk, so you dun have to waste much money on recovery items. At this point, I can't remember whether the magic "Aid" come as a default spell. If not, you can go armoury and buy an AID BOOK, use it on the priest. Alternatively, when you fought the monsters, they sometimes drop books as well. One thing about the items that the monsters dropped, they need to be analysed. So you need to analyse it with the "Analyse card" before it can be used. Monsters also do not drop gold, you need to sell the items to get gold.

If you can remember the thing about the innkeeper, it will be good not to bring too much gold into the dungeon. Spend it on items or equipments. If you go into dungeon with 0 gold, when you are defeated, you will still be sent back to the inn, with the innkeeper taking half of what you have (which is 0 gold). You will still be healed fully. So getting defeated is actually one quick way to return to town, just make sure the innkeeper dun take too much from you.

If you have an unconsious member in your party, but you walked back the town yourself, you need to bring him to the church to revive him. Sleeping in the inn will not help. So what I do is I'll usually let the whole party get defeated so I find myself back in the inn fully recovered.

Back to the first quest, I would suggest you get one more ally to make things easier for you. Of course you need more gold for this, so go fight some monster, sell the items and get the gold. My third party member is of the race which is strong in combat (can't remember the race, it's the big size one). I chose the job "monk" for her, so now in my party there is a fighter, a monk and a priest. In a battle the fighter and monk will fight while the priest will support with healing magic at the back. Works quite well for me.

To complete the first quest, you need to walk past the Slums (made up of 4 areas). To unlocked the locked doors in the Slums, look for Stone tablets and move them. Then walk in the general downwards direction, you will enter a D-something forest. I'll post a map when I update this next time. But at least for the slums, just walk towards the south.

Many doors in the forest is locked too, you need to unlock them by entering small rooms and clicking the wooden statues. If you have 3 members in your party you should be ok. If you wandered off into a snowy area, turn back. You do not need to go there yet, unless you want to explore further. The place you need to find is in the forest - a room where there is a big blue crystal. You will know its the correct room because when you try to open the door, some mushrooms will run towards you. Finish them off, some cutscenes will follow, the first quest is basically done.

I'll update the rest when I'm free. Going to swim in real life now. Woohoo

UPDATE: I'm so busy with RL, plus my PSP is spoilt, so i haven been able to play the game for months. BUT I FOUND THIS LINK! Kudos to gamespot, I think basically everything can be found there, also thanks to the nice forummers.

Pollution hits home

Saw this rat at a water catchment area near my home. I suspect it has drank from the water, where a layer of oil can be observed on the surface. Yucks.

一声长啸舒胸襟

Saw this line when watching a chinese show a few days ago, might not the exact words but I think the idea is there. It's part of a song in the show. I think its pretty cool. :)

一声长啸舒胸襟...

It roughly means "A long cry to ease the mind/chest", but I think its sounds much nicer in chinese.

Can't think of a title

Cats are cute, they catch mice, they even pose for pictures. So please dun abuse them anymore.

See? Isn't he cool?

Speaking of being cool, it is now so important, given that the swine flu has hit asian countries like Korea and Hong Kong. I've already had my temperature taken twice today, one at the workplace, one at the club. The country seems better prepared compared to the SARS period, so while I hope this H1N1 virus does not reach our shore, I'm quite confident that we will make it through. Stay happy, keep fit, be strong!

Anyway, I have been eating vitamins since 2 weeks ago, after recovering from a severe fever bout that rendered me half-dead(and it's not even the swine flu). Ran out of vitamins last sunday, so went to the pharmacy to get some new ones. I was going to get the Cebion one (which taste real good) until this auntie came and "promote" her products. So much for having natural flavours and colour, I bought 2 bottles for more than twenty-five bucks, and yes, it taste like shit. Sigh... The bottle look like this.


Initial taste is still ok, but when u chewed it and reach the core, the taste is just, well, powdery and medicine-like. And I have 2 bottles to finish. Double sigh..

Now you can buy McDonald's for your loved ones

Yes! Now you can buy McDonald's for your loved ones, even when they are at the other side of the world!

And there's high class chocolates too!

The real reason why it is so hot in Singapore

Contrary to what some people would like to believe, the real reason why Singapore is so hot in recent weeks is not because of global warming or changing climates.

The true culprits are actually the air cons in shopping malls, buses and homes. An air con works by absorbing the heat from one space (eg a room), and pumps it outside the room. Judging from the temperature inside the many shopping malls and public buses, one can safely say that a large quantity of heat is transferred from these places into the rest of the island. As more household are installed with air con nowadays, more heat is transferred from these home to the outside, which explain why one feels so hot when he stepped out.

And that, is the real reason for the increasing temperature in Singapore. Dun jus attribute everything to global warming.

沟渠里的怪物

词: Me
曲: ??

清晨六点半 都要经这条路
四方沟渠盖 个个沿着路.
一股怪气 总是从里头冒出
弄得我每一次 都会想要吐

我很好奇 怎么会有这股秽气
这肮脏东西 为何会冒起
难道有怪物吃错了东西
然后躲在沟渠里乱放屁

其实这里面都是科学原理
也就是热气对流的关系
因为白天太阳嗮的热气
到了晚上通通都会冷去
所以沟渠里的臭臭气体 才会慢慢升起
都说沟渠里哪会有怪物 这荒谬的事情

Random Updates

1) My phone failed me today. Couldn't access the sms screen. 吓死我了~~ Did a hard reset (which resets the phone to the default factory setting) and the screen finally re-appeared. 3 hours later i realised nobody can receive my sms-es even though I sent it out. And the sms alert is not working. Did a second hard reset. Eventually I decided that one of the freeware that I install on my phone is the root of the problem. Hence I sent one sms to someone for every freeware that I install.

These are the softwares that are safe a) the Modaco Nodata that prevent the using of GPRS, b) the sensorlock that disable the touchscreen and c) the Light Sabre application (thanks goodness).

The following are not tested, so one of them could be the culprit. a) ClearTemp that deletes the temporary files, b) Bemario, a silly game that requires player to jump like the Super Mario, and the c) the most suspicious of all, Touchflo Config Setup that allows users to change the Touchflo 3D's configuration.

It could also be the Chinese software that had just passed its trial period. Anyway, I'm jus keeping my finger crossed for now.

2) My mouth has 6 ulcer in total! There's 4 on the lower lip, 1 on the upper lip and 1 on the left side of the tongue. This must be the effect of eating 3 slices of BBQ pork (Ba Kwa) in a row the day before. The pain was so intense that eventually I succumbed to buying the ulcer cream, that so clearly states that it is POISON, from the Guardian Pharmacy. Sigh..

3) My hair needs to be cut.. People often said I look tired nowadays, even when I'm not. Must be the hair... But the salon is not open today.. maybe tomorrow..

BLACK CAT

Saw a black cat at the staircase when I left for work early in the morning. Took a few pics of it.

The pictures doesn't do it justice as it is real cute. But it wouldn't stop moving, couple with the poor lighting and the average handphone camera, that's the best I can do. I'm quite sure it has nothing to do with my photography skills though.
