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!

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


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.

World's thinnest TV panel

This is the world's thinnest TV panel according to SOUTH Korea's LG Display. Of course it boasts fantastic features, but I'm actually more interested in the female model. lol
