BLUNDER!!!

 I was going back to miri, happy as could be because I was going to see my family after a long and tiring semester of research in IMU. As usual, while packing, we would wonder all about what we were to bring home. This time, I didn’t have to bring any luggage with me, only a hand carry bag. So I thought I could rest easy and just bring whatever I thought I needed, without making a proper check list.

 After leaving IMU, things were going on alright. A fast 1 hour ride to the lcct, no sweat. Chilling in the lrt, KLIA transit and slept in the shuttle bus. However when I reached the lcct, there was some nagging feeling and fear in me, a sixth sense I suppose, which was worrying me. When I went to the check in counter, i found out that there WAS no check in counter to miri! It had closed. 10 minutes before I reached. I whipped out my phone and checked the message again. 1625. Oh crap, here I was thinking 1645. 20 minutes is a LOT of difference. I had NO idea why the hell I had mistaken that timing. Such an easy mistake on an extremely important thing. Oh hell, this was like singapore again where I did not bother to check the proper terminal at which I was departing. Thank goodness that there was a customer service counter that allowed me to get on the plane with ease, much more ease because I was not carrying any luggage other than a back pack.

  So my flight to miri was uneventful but safe. I am really glad that I am here back at home. What more, since it is just for a week, I have to appreciate and use this time that I have here to the max. on thurday,  me and my family would be going to a 6 star hotel called ‘The Empire’ in brunei plus eat all the sushi and food that brunei has to offer. It’s just one thing, the realisation of it came like a blow to my head and I did not dare to voice I out for 5 minutes. I left my passport back in KL. The passport needed to get through the immigration office and get to this land of joy. I curse myself so badly. HOW could I not remember it!! Maybe it was that time while packing stuff, I was stupidly still watching starcraft2 videos!! I should have been more serious!! And just as a general rule: ALWAYS BRING YOUR PASSPORT WHEN YOU TRAVEL, EVEN WHEN YOU DO NOT NEED IT! My mom always said to bring your passport whenever you travel, but out of the countless times that I brought my passport, I only needed my I.C. so it did not really make sense to always bring the passport, only this time where it was just SO unlucky and stupid that I did not.

So I am going to make another bunch of lessons for travelling:

1)      Always bring the important document wherever despite not using it all. I.C, Passport.

2)      Check the details for the flight PROPERLY and beforehand. Time, terminal, luggage.

3)      Plan the timing earlier to leave the house. It is better to be early and wait then being just on time. Do not be lazy to wait at the airport earlier.

4)      Lastly, despite going through the same event countless times, DO NOT take these important events lightly, or it will turn around and punch you kin the face.

There, 4 simples rules, and you won’t go wrong when going on an important event. 

Games how i Love games

games games games and more games. how fun computer games are. from the time of the atari to the current explosion of computer games, playstations, nintendos and Xbox. these forms of entertainment consumez me!! yeah! 

  i love escaping from reality into another dimension where our only objective is to beat the enemy. shoot em, scratch them, melee weapons, strategise, build a base, get the highest score and win. focusing your mental energies to onto a game for hours on end. how wonderful that feels. 

  currently i play starcraft2 beta(no original boohoo) and League of Legends. starcraft2 is only the best real time strategy game invented by blizzard carrying on the campaign of the 3 races terrans, protoss and zerg. the current campaign only focuses on the terrans only, Wings of liberty. it carries off where starcraft (1) left off. but where jim raynor is the main character who is starting a rebellion against the current terran dominion leader, emperor arcturus mengsk. throughout the story, he's getting a foothold of the rebellion, getting stronger and stronger so that he can topple arcturus mengsk. jim finds artifacts that mengsk had been shipping, and confiscates them by force. and he starts collecting them. however throughout the story, the zerg leader, and his past crush, kerrigan who is the queen of blades(zerg bitch leader yeah!) arises from their hiding and cause a bunch of havoc in their mission which is unknown to anyone. and he's forced to fight from 2 fronts. many things happen in the campaign and i'm too lazy to say it all. 

  but whats better about starcraft2 is that blizzard has a battlenet specific for playing online with other people who have proper starcraft2 accounts. so choose any of the races and play against people on battlenet. there is a ladder ranking when you play, that is starting with bronze, then silver, gold, (after here i not too sure), platinum and lastly diamond. however, since i do not have an original, it is only something of dreams. starcraft2 with the starcraft world graphic and better, user friendly controls, elevates the capability of the strategy game. from the success of starcraft 1, starcraft2 has taken off and is gardening even more support and players than ever before. i just LOVE starcraft2. i wanna buy the damn game!!! hahaa 

  the other game League of Legends is an online game which is similar to Defense of the Ancient(better known as Dota) the creators of Dota consists of guinsoo, icefrog and eul's. somewhere down the road, they split up, one staying to develop dota, one to Hon (a more beautiful version) and lastly League of legends, a more cartoony version but simpler game to play. the heroes are not free like dota or Hon, but there are free heroes to play every week. and with more playing, we can gain IP which is sort of like online experience or money. with more IP we can buy heroes. so we work for our heroes. plus we gain level so the opponents that we are matched against are more or less of equal levels.  

 since research has been taking up a lot of my time, playing these games just gave me like ecstasy. :) the taste of games is so much more delicious when you do not play it in a long time. after a long tiring day, playing is just so wonderful. 

  reflectioin: Inside me there is a twang that doesnt let go. Games arent for the future, it is just entertatinment which has gripped us so much that we are left spending our life away on this game that means nothing for the future. its kind of bad that the games made these days are so exhilarating that it takes gamers life away. they become good in the game but get very little benefit from it. rarely do you hear gamers getting benefits from it. here is a video that has made me come to this realisation. its called: 'the only thing i know'

it says a lot here. it was a video sent by my mom, because, of course every parent hates to see you play games and scolds you to do something more benificial. but now after seeing this, i actually share more or less the same view. that if we calculate all our time spent playing, we realise how little worth it actually is in real life.  when looking for a job. when putting things in our resume. if i were older and looking for a job or more opportunities in my life, i would not want to be at the interview table where i regret that i played to many games in my life.

  but thank god its not me. but then, what do i do these days? anything thats not really such good resume material either. 

 this is what'e been on my mind. that in entertainment, we shouldnt be too carried away. instead , have more focus and be in reality more.

Dun want to let it grip me.
