I know I should have posted this earlier. 2 weeks ago, I went on a trip with my army friend to Kuantan for holiday.
We took a bus from Kranji to Johore Bahru. From there we travel to Kuantan by coach. It was a 7 hour ride from Johor Bahru to Kuantan. Reached the station at about say 5 or 6 and then we took a taxi to the hotel. We stayed at a decently good hotel, Grand Hyatt Regency.
Sea view!!!
Evening Sea view!!
Cherating beach!!! Nice but its no damn activities man!!! Its like a dead town, and its so inaccessible, the beach at the Grand Hyatt is far better. Honestly, you are just better off just chilling out at the hotel. The beach might not be as big as Cherating, but at least it is accessible.
Hotel surroundings It was seafood everyday and stingray was the staple. The seafood is cheap, I would say less than half the price I would pay in Singapore. The quantity is ridiculously a lot.
3 nights in Kuantan, then we moved to KL the next day. Food there was also cheap. We had tons of seafood. I remembered the salted egg crab. I bought some bread from Mahathir's bakery. Pretty awesome.
The trailer for transformers 3, Dark of the moon has been released.
I don't know man...its just that something is missing.
Well, for starters, Sam Witwicky is missing from it. His hot girl staring Meagan Fox is also missing from it. Anyway, just to sidetrack, Meagan Fox wouldn't be in transformers 3, it would be replaced by some other hot chick which sets the standard for hotness. Yeah yeah, I know. No transformer movie would be complete without Meagan Fox striking a hot pose while being sticky and sweaty under the intense heat to bring out the perfect contours of her body. But she ain't in it and you just got to live with it.
But this is not important. Who cares about the humans in transformers? Who cares about the emotion relationship between human and robots? The only humans I want to see are those running away from the carnage and eventually facing their inevitable demise.
Well, Optimus is missing. But its fine... at least they showed some other random badass villian.
Then i realise what was missing... WHERE THE HELL IS MY FEAKING LINKIN PARK THEME SONG?
Transformers ain't Transformers without a Linkin Park song. Without a Linkin Park song...its like burgers without buns. Your honour, I rest my case.
Yes. Finally, I managed to drag myself out. Out of the house. Away from Starcraft 2. Anyway, I just came back from the library. Borrowed a dilbert comic to gain engineering and management insight.
So lately, I've been working on perfecting my build order. Perfecting my 4-gate strategy. Anyway, I usually play protoss on SC2. Not that its really that easy, I get better results playing a cannon rush. Well, life isn't fair and somehow rushes always work better for noobs. As much as it completely screws up the gaming experiences for your opponents, it is pretty effective in destroying your opponent. The player getting rushed(if he is a noob) is pretty much GG. Then his team members are forced to either get seige tank, mass zerglings or build their own wall of proton cannons as counter cannons. This is to prevent the cannon rush from spreading to their base. This means resources are wasted on unnecessary building, and it unlikely they would have any anti-air. So this would be a good time for your allies(if you play co-op) to tech up and get banshees, battlecruisers...whatever that counters what they have and its pretty much GG for them.
Besides that I also ran the Standard Charted 10km on sunday. The 10km run was pretty easy, then again my friend and I took our own sweet time. I've got to thank Kenneth for the run. Its pretty hard to find people who really like to run. This run pretty much gave me confidence maybe to go ahead and maybe run 21km next time. Then again, I would really need to find a friend to run with. Maybe can ask Kenneth.
Erm...the picture doesn't seem to sharp. No intention to brag(since 10km is so short). Just checking out how to transmit stuff on my new phone. My mom recently build a tech lab in my barrack and gave me a phone upgrade. Then, i build a galaxy 3 out of the barracks. So I am pretty much getting used to the user interface...sweet...
I don't know if any of you guys noticed, lately a lot of people have been changing their facebook profile pictures to a cartoon in their childhood. This is a motion to support the protection of children's rights against those like pedobear.
Then I happened to realise that most cartoon heros tend to be animals with human personalities or more appropriately, personified animals. Its all cool and stuff, until I realise...damn ain't all those cartoons furries.
Well, then you may ask, whats a furry? The all-knowning yet not-knowing-whether-its-true-or-false wiki defines furries as fictional anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics.
Well, its all cool and stuff if no harm is done. However, if you do note, animals in cartoons are subjected to as much abuse as robots are. Its alright for Jerry to hammer Tom and Coyote to get exploded by this own trap(FAYUL!!!(alternative spelling)) as it is for Autobots and Deceptacons to go about blow the crap out of each other. But you ever notice how rare do actual humans die on cartoons. Every death is accompanied with dramatic sadness or a flashback(damn those flashbacks, it calls for another stupid filler or some story that sidetracks from the plot). It not like the death of Inchigo's mother actually had anything to do with the storyline, its just the introduction of kingfisher, which didn't mean very much since he was subsequently killed by Inchigo's father. Any arranchar could have done the job.
Anyway, that aside, furries are cool since it allows us to put slapstick humour into cartoons. The issue arises when rule 34 comes into play. Rule 34 states that if it exists, there is porn of it. Then suddenly an innocent cartoon becomes M18 or R21. Then furries start having a negative connotation to it. The issue is agrravated because if you think about, furry porn is bestiality and somehow thats more taboo than normal porn.
Then again the cartoons of the past are just simply awesome...Tailspin, Darkwing duck, G.I. Joe, He-Man and transformers...classic. They don't make cartoons like they used to.
Then again, who the hell cares whether your cartoon is starred by personified animals or not, just freaking enjoy the damn show.
But then again, did you guys catch like G.I. Joe the movie? the cartoon one... I thought it was quite good...like the transformers one... Trailer below...its more scaley than furry.
Damn you 80s music...Damn you 80s cartoons... Why can't you come back, they don't make robots as well as they did in the 80s...
I just finished reading this book about stocks. Its kinda like a story book about making decision and I find that a lot of advices they give about stock picking can be applied to real life situation we face in life.
1)Behind every brilliant investment decision is a rigourous post-analystic intuitive decision that are a result of decades of knowledge accumulation
2)There is no one perfect stock for every investor, but for every investor there exist several great stocks.
3)Always stay in your circle of competence
4)Good business don't usually make good investment.
If you put some thought to it, you will realise that it makes that little changes that make the decision making process so much easier. Its like getting a forge after your second gate way. Remember to get that photon cannon and ground units level 1 attack upgrade.
