So awfully adorable!!

Guaranteed to put a smile on your face at the very least. Or in my case laugh heartily =D

I think the baby got tired of laughing after awhile. Haha!!

Photo post!!

I keep forgetting to post this up. Here we go!!

Check out John's expression in the upper left corner. Lol.. Just when everyone else was looking cool.


I thought this was a nice shot. =)


I'm in the mood for the pasta buffet at Italianis in OneUtama. =D Hehe.. Anyone care to join me?


If you want the photos, just ask me. I can't got the photos to work right. Not to mention they're a little small.

*cough cough*

I just had a quick look at the miniature mountain of textbooks that Gabriel passed down to my sis.

Gabriel.. Your handwriting is so freakishly neat and tidy.

Fantastic man...

I'm so ashamed of my handwriting.

Haha.


As my title suggests, I'm not very well at the moment. I got hit by a fever on Saturday, just when I needed to lead Sunday worship with Jennifer the very next day. What timing.. Not to mention both of us fell sick.

Thankfully now the fever is gone. The only thing that remains now is a horrid cough.

Sigh..

I'm out of the "Cap Ibu dan Anak" cough mixture.

Totally unrelated to the topic above, my beloved computer is starting to fail me. My videos now seem sluggish for some reason. How can I watch Prison Break in this state? D=

Sigh, my connection also loves to disconnect on me. Really undesirable while playing online games. I wonder if it's my router, my computer or TMNet's problem. Any IT guys out there that can help?

Cuti-cuti Malaysiaaaaaa.....

I'll be going off to Port Dickson tomorrow with my college mates!! =D I won't be back until Friday, thus The Noodle Shop will be on holiday as well.

Counter-strike nights have been going great!! =D Haha, although we are looking for someone with a good PC and a stable line to host our games. My PC can host, but unfortunately my internet line is not very stable.

Then again, it was when I fully disabled my firewall. Hmmm...

Gotta finish packing, see you all in 3 days!! =)

Coins galore!!

Crazy!! =O

Coin Super Magic - video powered by Metacafe

Let the games begin!!

A flash toy to keep you entertained. =)

Levers

For once a non-kiasu Flash toy to play with. =D I played this quite awhile back but couldn't find the time to recommend it. The game doesn't come with instructions, so I won't either. =) Just toy with it! Have a blast!!


The Machine

If only fixing a messed up computer was this cool.

The goal is simple. In a nutshell, something just went awfully wrong with your computer. Your job is to bring it back to life by solving a series of puzzles.

It was a little too short for my liking, but still enjoyable nonetheless. Gotta love that sense of accomplishment when you figure out the solution to it. =D What I liked the most about this game was the way it was presented and the atmosphere that it produced. Not to mention the eerie background sounds.. *shiver*


I spent the whole evening today bonding with my brother through the magic of video games. =) The new Justice League Heroes for the PS2 is fun!! I'm surprised it was so well made. Most games based on anything is usually sloppy and not worth playing.

We were "arguing" half the time because we were stealing each others experience points. Lol..

I remember back when I was standard 4, I told my mother "One day when Judson reaches my age, I'll play Megaman X and video games with him." =)

Haha, I just realized that the day has already come. =D Although we aren't exactly playing Megaman which I used to play when I was his age. How times have changed. =)

I will one day play video games with my children and my grandchildren! =D If I'm still capable of catching up with their "canggih" gaming technology that is. Haha!!

Tomorrow Ken and I shall distribute the Counter-Strike:Source CD! =D Let the games begin!!

Male Restroom Etiquette

Haha, what nonsense.. =D

The Sims 2 engine is just perfect for this kind of stuff. I haven't watched many machinemas before though. Any recommendations out there? =D

Batman and Wolverine!!

Two great movies in 3 days. How I love the holidays. =D

The Prestige

Brilliant. Just brilliant..

This was mind-blowingly awesome!! Definitely a must-watch before it leaves the cinema. =D All I expected was a rivalry thing between the two magicians. What a plot..

It was so hilarious that we were referring to the characters as Batman and Wolverine. =D Haha, find out who the cast are and you'll see why.


Also..


Death Note

Another really cool movie. =D It certainly exceeded my expectations since I didn't expect a movie adapted from a manga to be so good. Now I'm dying to get my hands on the manga. =D

Wish I could say more but I won't want to spoil the fun those who haven't watched. =)


And one more thing, anyone wants to join me and Kee Ken's Counter-Strike: Source games? =D We play over Hamachi which is a LAN emulator. The latest patch for the game is brilliant!! Do drop by the Cbox if you're interested. =)

Holiday bliss!!

It has BEGUN!! My finals are finally over. After all the sweat and toil, I can now have my rest.

A 3 month break sounds good anytime. =)

I'll be resuming university life by early March, I have decided to major in Electrical and Computer Systems engineering. Haha, I couldn't be more excited. Although it does sadden me knowing that my closest uni mates will be taking a different major. Next semester's gonna be so different, I just feel it.

No more singing with Kin Leong Westlife songs until the lecturer arrives.

No more Celina as my lab partner, reminding me of monthly tests and project deadlines.

No more hearing stories from Han Yee about him staying up just to watch the Arsenal match even though we have exam papers the very next day.

Sigh...

I sure hope we'll still go out for lunch together. =) Why take Mechanical Engineering? Computer systems is the FUTURE!!

I miss them already. =(

On a brighter note, we'll be taking a trip to Port Dickson a week from now. =) Our last Pulau Pangkor adventure certainly was memorable. Thankfully, beer is not cheap in PD. =D I doubt I'll be seeing its hilarious effects this time. Haha.. Not to mention it will reduce the chances of someone spilling beer all over my handphone. The stuff works on electronics too!! My phone was all befuddled for a whole day after that incident. Like when you pressed 9 it will give you 7. lol..


Like Miss Lee Ee May, I'll make a list of what I want to accomplish before my holidays end..

P.s. - Ee May!! Heard you're joining us for MPO!! yay!! =D Welcome back!!


Things to do before my holidays end :

1. Clean and redecorate my room - I'm so proud to say that I've already completed half of this. My table area is all organized and tidy now. Before this it was a just place to dump my lecture notes, text books, comic books and other junk on. Who needs a table? I study in bed anyway. =p

Well, I've decided to properly utilize the table now. Using the laptop in bed is murder for my back. I'm proud to say that I'm typing this down using my table. Haha! Hopefully this keeps up till next semester. Now all that's left is the music stuff, the bookshelf and redecorating my wall.

2. Continue guitar education - Now what everyone's having their holidays, what better time to jam together and learn? =) I plan to first finish up with the 6 lessons my previous teacher Raymond owes me. What worries me is that Jon told me he hasn't been able to contact Raymond for quite awhile. Sure hope he didn't run away or something..

3. CHRISTMAS SHOPPING!! - Better start early this year. =D

4. Catching up with old schoolmates - I've missed so many gatherings and mamak sessions because of Uni. Looking forward to catch up with the Pondok Gang over a glass of glorious Milo Ais and Maggi Goreng mata kerbau. =D

5. Working - Once I get bored out of my skull I'll look for a job. Anyone care to join me? =) I was thinking of finding a part-time thing somewhere. If there's no luck I guess it'll be office boy at Dad's office again. Haha, working there last time was pretty entertaining, although pretty mundane at times. Well, we'll see. =)

6. Reading - What a joke huh? =p I'm sure Crissy will have a good laugh at this. I have 5 books waiting for me to read them on my table. I really want to read them although I would naturally gravitate towards fragging Kee Ken online rather than picking up a book. This would be a challenge..

7. EXERCISE!! - Yet another thing that has been bothering me this semester. My belly is looking more prosperous by the month. *Say it ain't so!! D= * It's about time I do something about it now that I have the time. Again, i would rather lay lifeless in bed rather than sweating it out. Another challenge..

Double Wires

I'm so sick of the Irritating Game. Like Chuen, I think I had enough. =)

So... Here's yet another Flash Game!! =D

The genius at Dofi-Blog has released yet another game. Not the most original but entertaining nonetheless. In Double Wires you manouver a stickman through obstacles by shooting rope out of his hands that stick to his surroundings. You feel like a Spiderman who just started out learning the ropes. (Pun intended)

I don't like the fact that the obstacles repeats itself after awhile, but it's still quite a challenge since the speed increases gradually.

You know the rest, I'll open a Leaderboard once I have enough scores. I got 154.03 on my first try. =) Beat that!!

The "Kiasu" is strong in this one...

My previous post was getting long, so I decided to put up a new post for the leaderboards.

LEADERBOARD

Mushikago - 38.474 seconds

Yeng - 37.247 seconds

Currynoodles - 37.237 seconds

Gabriel - 34.834 seconds

Kepohgirl - 28.??? seconds

IiShan - 28.117 seconds

Jon Tan - We're still waiting.. =p

And I thought 37 seconds was awesome already.. Both the Fong siblings are dominating the scoreboard!! Not to mention Yeng beat me by 0.01 seconds. Bah!! Lol.. =D

Chuen?? Where are you? Haha...

Bah.. Multi-tasking

Here's a quick fix for all you Flash Game lovers. =D

Bah.. I was never very good at multi-tasking.

Jeu Chiant



This is one of those things in life which are harder to do than they sound. The concept is simple, on the upper portion of the screen you keep a bouncing ball from falling "Pong" style. Simple enough..

On the lower half however, you also have to balance another ball to keep it from falling. The position of your Pong bat determines the incline or slope of the lower surface.


It's harder than it sounds.. Really!

I tried to find out the meaning of Jeu Chiant in english. AltaVista's Babel Fish website translated it to "Shitting Play". (O_o) Lol!

Post all your High-Scores on the comments section!! =D I'll post a leaderboard on this page. Ignite the "KIASU"ness in you!! XD


I'll start first, So far my best is 30.393 seconds. =D Beat that!!

*Edit* - There's a button at the bottom left corner for english if you can't read French. =)


LEADERBOARD

Mushikago - 38.474 seconds

Currynoodles - 37.237 seconds

Chuen - 33.645 seconds

Gabriel - 32.??? seconds

Jon Tan - Still waiting.. =p

*update* - Giler Kiasu man you all.. Haha. Even Hannah and Leisl are joining. =D

*update* - This is crazy... Just when I thought 37 seconds was fantastic already. Funny thing is, me and Ken realized that our Counter-Strike aim has become much more steady and controlled after playing this for an hour. Lol... Potential training program? =D

"oh I must muster every ounce of Kiasuness I have..." *sings*

Korean Madness..

I just HAD to post this.

Educational TV!

Who said you can't learn anything from your younger brother?

*you don't know the model in the picture*

According to him back in the day during the 1940's, this was sign language which meant "I'm gonna kill someone" used by african-american gangs in the US.

Someone's been watching Discovery Channel..

Thank goodness we live in different times, I see that sign 12 times a day at least.


Forgive the late post, I'm here to inform that The Noodle Shop will be taking a 2 week break. My finals are coming up and I won't have the time to really blog properly. However do continue visiting. =) Keep the cbox alive! It's dying a slow cruel death..


Let me end with 3 pictures..

Oh, Sony Ericsson is such fun!! =D

Insufficient Memory

A friend of mine, Leong Eng was involved in a car accident yesterday. It was quite a bad one but thankfully he's not seriously injured in any permanent way. Imagine the shock I got when I received a message saying he had several broken bones.. (O_o) Fortunately it was mistaken. Got me worried over nothing. Haha.. Do remember him in your prayers..

Get well soon Lee Leong Eng!! =)

It's great that he looks much better today. He looked awful yesterday.


Xin, Fadzil, Soo Hwa and I have been visiting him the past 2 days. Each time we went we'd bring him fruits..

But not just any fruits..

Half the fun was decorating the fruits, the other half is watching the look on his face when he sees them. =D Today we had apples, the picture above was mine. Yesterday we got him a flirtatious watermelon with a rose in the mouth. Haha!!

Pictures will come soon. This is all I got at the moment.




I think this is so awesome. =D Just got it from Subang Uptown for 10 bucks. Not to mention a laser pointer for 7 bucks and a pair of cheap (but real) boxing gloves for Tina. I just wish I could see the look on her face when she finds her new gloves in the morning. =)

Who knew RM4 could provide so much fun, howling laughter and euphoria for 4 people. Go get a helium balloon from Subang Uptown with a group of buddies, inhale and sing away! =D From our experience, get 3 balloons. 2 was just not enough.

Then again, don't do it too much. It's not exactly very healthy for you according to wikipedia. Everything in moderation. =)

Prelude

I have to much to post, so many people to thank. =)

But not today, tomorrow maybe.. Hopefully.. I won't want to take too long to thank you awesome people out there. =D

What a day it was...


On a lighter note, I dropped by at IKEA today and got myself a nice shelf to put at my room. (with my parent's birthday ang pau, Thanks mom! Thanks dad! =D) I'm gonna display my many treasures I have kept away in a shoebox somewhere and also my newest additions from Hal and Kee Ken. Hehe..

I so need to wipe my wall first, my foot prints (yes, on the wall) are starting to look obvious.. so disgusting.

Can't wait to get my room done!! XD

Talent?

"People make a mistake who think that my art has come easily to me. Nobody has devoted so much time and thought to composition as I. There is not a famous master whose music I have not studied over and over." - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

We can't deny that talent does exist. But the secret is in the hard work and effort people!! Coming from Mozart himself!! =D

Out #2!~

An quick update from Uni, since I have the time now. I totally forgot about this game.

Yes people! Out#2 is finally out! I've lost enough hair from the first Out#1. The sequel is a continuation to the previous installment. After escaping the room you travel a series of tunnels until you arrive in a mysterious complex. Your goal still remains the same, to escape.

I felt that this one isn't as hard as its predecessor. I managed to solve most of the puzzles on my own except for the last part which I needed some help. Maybe it's because some of the puzzles are somewhat similar to the first one. Again, some music theory knowledge will help with one of the puzzles. =) Fortunately the game is still forgiving to those who doesn't have any.

I've said enough. Give it a go! =D



Wow.. It just started raining cats and dogs. I usually don't like the rain, but in this haze season it's more than welcomed! =D

Acer is AWESOME!!

Welcome back Lo Poh!! XD

Bah... Blogspot doesn't allow the Marquee code.

I'm so amazed by Acer's customer service. Within 3 days my laptop was back in my hands working perfectly again. =D

I got a call from them the day after I sent it in for repairs. The lady told me the total cost of repairs and that it would take a week before I could collect it back again. Then I told her about my report that was in the laptop which I needed really urgently. She paused for awhile and told me that she'll try to put it on priority for me and that she'll give me a call if there was good news.

"I'm sure..." I told myself..

Surprisingly, she called back that very same day and told me I could pick up my laptop the next morning! =D Fantastic... I love you Acer!!



They even threw in my faulty fan for free!!





Ahh... Sweet memories.. =) Nothing beats lepaking under the pondok during recess.. Sharing mashed potatoes, keropok and Milo Ais. I miss it all..




I bought a packet just for old times sake.. =D




Matlab studies with Mr. Ganapathy.. Gah...

RM 160?!

Acer Customer Service just called in. It'll cost me 160 bucks to replace the Cooling fan and the heatsink. Gah..

I forgot to ask what the problem was though.. It slipped my mind. Guess I'll find out when I collect it from repairs.

I have a really important document inside my laptop that needs to be handed in next week. The lady on the phone told me it'll take a week to repair it. I told her about it and she said she'll try to put it on priority. Hope she does..


Flash game review time!! =D

-Red- is a fun simple game that uses simple physics and momentum. The controls are straightforward and self-explanatory, you take control of a single stationary turret and you have to defend yourself from various sized balls falling from the sky. Your shots don't "destroy" the balls but rather deflect them away.

Just a warning, it's pretty addictive.

My personal best so far is 519 seconds. I'm sure you guys can do better. =)

Go on.. Click it! =D
