hmm. it was during 1st week of dec ba.. yup..

Besides words n words of crap and stuff that u cant really understand out of my lousy way of expressing myself, I do keep other stuff that will at least, be more presentable and comprehendible to my blog-readers [not a lot but I know who you are (: ] Yup. Tons and tons of photos. Photos taken by the blog owner particularly, in some weird angles and perspectives. They do slow down the loading time of this bloody insightful page, but then bear with it ok. It’s not like I’m having easy time posting forced-to-resized-photos using my pathetic tmnet dial-up connection.Anyway, I apologise for that. Photo speaks a thousand words, in most views. But photo captions and I myself don’t think so leh. Ten to the power of three of words is definitely not enough to convey whatever message that what a photo ought to deliver. “OF COURSE,” thousands of Photo Captions nodding not much less than a synchronized way. If you dun really get what I want to say in the last few sentences, I shall just transpose them into one line:
‘Photo needs caption as I need music’
and.. ah! Tag or I rather call it Flooble. Flooble rocks. Ha. It literally blend into my blogskin and it’s in normal chronological order unlike “Papan Tag”. Although it once expired due to low level of utilization it has come back to life again and I hope it wont say ciao to me again. Nice place to put comment when you are rushing
Then the links and bonds. Gives you doors to exit from my tiny space. And some that will lead you back here, I suppose. There are other stuff on the sidebar but not much use. (Profile? Who would read them? thanks. Archive? The sole purpose if for me to re-read my whole blog when I am darn free … and have access to broadband…duh.)
And lastly, almost the whole thing that you usually see on this page…the blogskin. The dark, blacky, gloomy skin and the title “Back 2 Orijin” in the opposite colour. Sometimes I think black is too dark and it will, somehow, flush down my mood and maybe yours. But I am just too lazy to create my own blogskin as it requires me to learn those html language that I would rather spend on blogging. Furthermore, black can ‘enhance’ my colourful pics and it’s indeed a popular colour among the bloggers. Ok. Then no problem liao I shall say.
Anticipating. I am looking forward to the 10-or-20-years-in-the-future-me to come back here to read what he had written during his .. erm… free time. Hey, future-me! Feel free to comment ok? [I sound like insane, right? =P]
一个小学六年级的学生所发明的游戏,
一个后来由我改良并加上不同元素的游戏,
一个曾经是我和弟弟付出很多时间“生产”的游戏,
一个还存放在家里角落的游戏,
一个简单的游戏,
――折叠乐
相信世界上除了我家以外,没有人会懂什么是折叠乐了吧!让我先谈谈它的由来呗!想当年…
***
小学六年级时,考完会考后,一天,班上同学们围在一起,偶尔发出胜利的笑声,偶尔听见有人说“再来一次!这次不算!”我就走向前,看见了最原始的折叠乐…(折叠乐这名字是后来才取得,也忘了那时候我们叫它什么了)
一张单线簿的纸,用铅笔画满了四四方方的格子(about 3 cm X 2 cm),每个格子(除了第一行和最后(终点)一行)都画上了向前进的箭头,起点(第一行写了1到8的格子)到终点(插着一面旗子的高山)之间设下不同的陷阱(Bomb!,骷髅,“死”,倒退箭头-一开始就只有这些吧),然后再从终点把纸张往下一行一行摺起--tada!这就是还未改良,最原始的折叠乐了!
玩法是从起点跟着箭头向前进,通常每一步都有三个方向选择(左,右或前),目标是达到终点,然后就结束了!把纸折回去再从来!
***
过后回到家,自己也开始动手做了一个来玩,玩久后发现觉得似乎缺少了什么,而且越玩它的新鲜感就越…diminishing(=P)所以第二代的折叠乐在我发挥了一点点的创意后诞生了!
第二代的折叠乐保持了第一代的格子及箭头,但是我加上了每一个折叠乐特有的主题,比方说第一个“生产”的主题便是那时电视上的连续剧-《不老传说》的故事情节…起点也从号码变成了剧里的人物,终点则视不同的角色而定(好人战胜坏人,坏人统一天下等等),陷阱也有更多的花样了(多数根据故事情节画出的画面)!
兴奋的我在家里让我的兄弟妹试玩后,第二天把“新产品”带去学校和朋友分享(&炫耀)!
朋友们的赞好及自己想继续创新的精神推动了第二,第三个第二代折叠乐的诞生…不久弟弟(伟胜)也加入了生产部门,产量也跟着增加了不少。学校里(我们读同一所小学)又有新一批的人认识了折叠乐这一个游戏了!还记得当时还有同学向我买我的“产品”(一个20仙),有些产品还接到多份订单,我被逼复制折叠乐…为什么说“被逼”呢?因为我们(我和我弟) 的折叠乐每一个都是独一无二的,sort of like unspoken agreement ba…
***
后来到了制造折叠乐的全盛期,一天我们可以生产好几个不同主题,不同性质的折叠乐:有根据电脑游戏(金庸寻侠传,小叮当,Zombies Ate My Neighbour,街头霸王,农场物语…)的,有关于卡通片(Pokemon,Digimon,宇宙小毛球,Power Rangers…)的,有自创主题的(Toilet大比拼,王子求婚记,十二生肖,枪手,武林盟主,谁是凶手…),也有一个主题两个人不同风格的…折叠乐的玩法也在我们兄弟两的翻新之下更多元化:故事情节,命运,攻击防守速度,商店买卖等…
哈哈~到了后期我们的美术修养也越来越ok,画出来的折叠乐也有更好的品质了.但是我们也没有去推销买卖,只在家里玩乐就算了.很多时候,做一个折叠乐也只为了满足自己的艺术渴望罢了…haha~ =P
***
上了中学几年后,折叠乐生产部也告一段落.忙功课都来不及的我们也就没什么时间来奢侈了.然而偶尔还是会拿出多年前所画的折叠乐看看,笑一笑自己当年的幼稚及创意.有时还会想想和弟弟一起去把折叠乐电脑化,3D化,申请专利,然后大量生产来卖,搞不好还会取代市面上多数的Board game 呢! Haha~
PS: 有兴趣赞助的朋友可以联络我一下!
二.Two. Dua. 一个对我有着特别意义的号码.家里排行第二.小学中学所拿过数次的第二名.后来在国初口琴Njharmoc的二高2nd chromatic.等等等.现在这一篇网记也是我第二篇华文网记(网络日记)…
Ok.最近常发梦.梦见一些人.和事.一些想见的人.一些不怎么想见的人.一些连续两晚重复的事.一些在现实生活中根本不可能发生的事…有时候不喜欢做梦.干扰睡眠.第二天醒来一定变僵尸zombiefied.但是.有时候梦到好梦时就会抱怨10.00a.m.来得太早了.
冬至到了.有或者你称之“汤圆节”.明天一大早又会有妈 (第二声) 煮的红白糯米粉汤圆吃了.小时候还真的很喜欢.但长大了也就觉得有时还真的有点撑.肠胃不消化.不管怎样 (Walaubagaimanapun),汤圆QQ的口感很好!=P *说道冬至,还真的佩服华人把日期算得这么准.年年22/12一定可以吃汤圆.
哈.唉.哇.明天是我回来的第二个礼拜了.酱快的? 感觉上也没干了什么东东.除了吃喝拉睡就只是去了看电影、打羽毛球、上东海岸、云顶、驾“灵鹿”、读《哈利》、上网、玩完《绝代双骄叁》、听(我iTunes里的)歌和看电视(超级主持人,明星偶像,韩剧,新(新加坡)剧,电视电影,筹款节目,630及1000新闻).就酱.从新加坡搬回来的两大箱也还没整理好.haiz.
想去做工,想赚钱(理想ideally是赚新币,可以乘2.2嘛!),想(用自己赚的$)买想要的东西(数相[数码相机]啦、酷酷的戒指啦、新年衣裤啦、隐形眼镜啦、上日/韩语课啦等等).想去聚会outing(上KL、红盒子(redbox)、城中坊(CS)、龟咯岛(kukup),甚至是新加坡啦).想去剃光头botak(!)(then买一顶酷酷的鸭舌帽来戴;p).想改一改生活习惯.想…想东想西…
要两点了.现在想睡觉.观察力不错的你是否有注意到“二”出现在这篇网记每一段咧? 好了.该去睡了.今晚会梦见什么咧?(“,)
Amazed by myself as I’m still awake at this moment of my life, since I hardly slept after 12am after I came back from
Almost every song in my playlist I can relate them to my frens or other occasions. U know, one of y’all. Which make those songs sound extremely nice n…nice. And certainly make me miss my frens. =) ha. Hope I dun sound to emotional here…it’s only 2weeks man! I still have like 8mnths more before I can start schlife again! Must tahan!
Oh my. 2006 comin soon. A year which will be quite different for me to welcome. The hols. The results. And mayb working? Ha. Who knows. While I really wanna work I am feeling lazy at the same time. But for the sake of money . I will do it. Haha~ $_$
The urge to online at night has stopped coming into my mind these few days. Hmm dunno why mayb I am kinda …back to my original state liao. Ya. I din really online n msn these kinda stuff until I was in the hostel . using broadband. And now. With the pathetic dial-up I have. It’s almost impossible for me to go back to the Golden age of this blog – almost one post per day. Ha. Anyway~
Oh my sis asked me a question that day which I couldn’t really ans. Maybe y’all can help me solve it: why adding is easier than subtracting?
Ok. ciao.

Yeap. Back home from the trip to kmm n genting le. Ya. feeling tired n sleepy I didn’t go straight online last night nor to blog about the trip.
Then now I’m kinda lazy to do so le.
Will post the pics that I have taken using my 3200 tho there are more to come after I develop those in the camera..
Food was nice. Haha. Weather was ok. but car-trip was long n sleep inducing.
Genting was as crowded as usual. School hols wad. Lotsa msian n sporean families were there. Thick fog n sorta wet weather. Outdoor theme park was closed. Indoor theme park was not that bad too. Oh the free lunch buffet was ok onli. They din have cheesecake! Walao.
The last time I went to genting was about 5-6 years ago. Now older liao then can enjoy n appreciate the trip more. Hhaha.
Ok. too lazy to cont more stuff bout genting le. Hmm. Ohya. 4 down. HarryPotter series I mean. Juz finished the Goblet of Fire. The book is DAMN thick ( altho I din read the actual printed book ). Took me nearly the total time I spent to read the previous three. But it was in great details for everything n a lot more different compared to the 1st three which all haf the same opening n stuff. The movie that I watched this dec in west mall seems to be quite lousy after I hv read the book. Haha. They din include so many details!! The Care-For-Magical-Creatures classes, the house-elves, the Quiditch World Cup, Sirius Black and then the actual ending in the book. Ok. the movie is not so impressing liao.
Slacking. Slackin. Keep on slackin. After all this is the only thing I can do now. Haha.
Gonna continue with the fifth book liao. and of course watch TV. Ciao.

Walao. This is too much. The connection here is even much slower than that back home. Thot 56.6 is already very pathetic juz to check mails and sign in msn + post some nice pics n stuff.
Ok.i’ll wait till I go back jb then. Or if I could get some source of broadband network before that. Haiz.

早上醒来,已经是十点多了。梳洗后,那起每日必看的《新洲日报》,习惯性的从体育,娱乐,大柔佛,副刊,财经到头版;从封底看到封面;有的草草翻过,看看标题就算了;有的详读几遍还觉得意犹未尽!哈哈~马来西亚的华文报(马华报=P)实在是推到极端了(push to the MAX arh!) 我休息了两年的阅报习惯再回到这里后可以 erm…卷土从来(?)了(liao)!
小时候,家里只在星期天买报纸。原因?星期天的比较厚吧!哈哈~一直到小学kor参加了时事问答比赛,家里才开始了与马华报的…erm …的情缘…一开始看着似懂非懂的繁体字 (标题) 及几千字的文章,报章上大大小小的图表,课本上看不见的插图…久而久之看报纸这件事就成了我的消遣+兴趣的培养了。
从没真正的去注意政坛上的风风雨雨(不像安德鲁那样=P),也没有很喜欢密密麻麻的分类广告,我实在有兴趣的就是报章所提供的数据及图表了(liao)!不管是英超联赛EPL的积分榜或是吉隆坡综合指数 (综指KLSE) 的走势、我国交通事故的频率还是音乐颁奖礼的成绩单,我常常都会看了一遍又一遍,也不知原因何在…哈~更有一段时期我每天都把综指记录下来,存进Microsoft Excel里。现在那张磁碟片(diskette)也不知弄到哪里去了(liao)~
*打了这三段东东,才愕然发现自己画文水准的落魄程度,想表达一些事情也没有以前那样容易了 (liao)! =P 上一次用华文书写是在考华文AO的时候吧! 哇唠 (walao)! 用华文字典的华文考试,在这里还真的找不到咧! 第一次考普通试卷(GP…同样是AO水准) 的时候,不能用字典的我还有点惊讶! 什么东东?!
Erm…说到哪里了 (liao)? 哦…hmm…又不想继续了(liao)…经过长期的英文部落格-ing (English blogging ) 现在勉强自己用华文还有一点点的别扭..哈哈~难道…难道我的英文表达能力已超越华文了?非也非也…it’s just that I can type in English abit faster ba…n my Chinese is sorta rusted liao… haha~
其实..(ei..actually leh. But I really mean the REAL actually lar) 用华文写blog还真的蛮爽的咧! 从小也觉得当报章编辑是蛮好玩的,天晓得我明年会去修读大众传媒咧? (kh u wanna follow anot?)
K.Ciao (这两个字用华文写很怪…-_-)

Self-control. A super important skill that one must have and master in his life in order to do anything that will bring him closer to success.
But usually. People fail to do so.
Self-control
-not to talk back to
-not to make noise during lesson altho u got the sudden urge to talk to the person next to you. Ya. u know then students got smarter and start passing little notes around or even better, SMS !
-not to buy useless stuff impulsively when u go town. Ya. Like Oh. I saw this. I like. Then I buy. This one is easier to control cos sometimes vitamin M is the limitation.
-Not to go to toilet altho it was like super urgent liao coz u were still half-way thru whacking the final boss of wadeva video game … *this happens to me a lot!*
-not to eat too much altho u are actually quite full liao. ya. but then sumtimes the food is just irresistible! Erm. By saying that I don mean yan’s palace food of course..
-not to do or say sth that crosses the border. Ya. Nothing much to elaborate u get wad I mean.
-Not to laugh even tho u just heard the funniest joke in the world. But u dun wanna laf coz the person who made the joke is a stupid ass.
-Not to cry even tho
-Not to do uncivilized actions in the public. Ya. like shitting in shopping complex. And something else I shldnt mention here but it’s a true story heard from my fren.
-not to do nonsense stuff like reading manga, playing mindless computer game, talk cock during exam period. Ya. oh. And of course blogging nonsense like wad I am doing now..
Discipline. One word to summarize everything.
Some people are just lack of this screw up on their mind.
K. muz control myself from talking rubbish anymore.
Go eat now. Then continue to mug.
A levels is just less than 24 hours away!!
Ciao.
