Let the games begin!

********ANNOUNCEMENT********

In light of the high demand for the third DVD of the four-disc compilation of Justice League and JL:Unlimited, I've decided to hold a lil' friendly tournament of Flash games similar to that done by our fellow noodle shop owner. The games are still being considered at the moment and this post would be updated regularly. To participate, simply play, get the highest score and notify me via the ChatBox or the comments, take a screenshot (if possible) and send it to me (either through MSN or e-mail) and the results would be tabulated every now and then over the course of the week. I'd need Justin's help though, since he's experienced in this, haha :D The game's open to everyone, so bring on the fun guys!

First game :
Chuck
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gosh, I'm running late...sorry I'm an hour behind, just got back from the magazine shop (reading gossip magazines sure doesn't do a single bit of good to your eyes and brain, I've realised..). So here's the deal : the twist is called At Least I'm Better Than You At Something Else. Since it seemed that no one could knock Jon's 500K score off the high-score throne, I'll now give 100K points for the highest score achieved in each of the 4 rounds of the game. In case of a tie with the high scores, the tie-breaker would be a coin flip :D Of course, unfortunately for you Jon, you'd have to be excluded because I believe your 230+ score for the throw distance of Chuck is cukup ohsem already. You can post high scores but only for reference and bragging rights :D At any rate, we would all need to be the best in at least three of the four rounds to beat your score, so I think it's fair enough..To post your round-specific high scores, just add a number in front like this :

4 : 999999

Go get those high scores!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


And here are the results of your hard work and effort, people :D (tabulated with the bonus scores)

1st Place : Low Iishan!! with 605503
2nd Place : Jon Tan!! with 596524
3rd place : Mushi!! with 460000
4th Place : Gabriel!! with 458132
5th Place : Simon Sim!! with 351114

There you have it. Champion Low Iishan please step up to claim your...your..oh wait. Simon Sim has somehow gotten hold of the grand prize of Justice League Disc 3.......oh well. Thank you for participating anyway :D I've not updated my blog so often in one week before. Until the next time then!!

Oh, but to have it again..

IT’S Saturday! One more day and the Chinese New Year week would’ve come to an end. Sorry for the slightly lewat punya post, had been unable to get hold of the net for the last two days (no thanks to my bro), in fact I’m typing this in WORD now while waiting for my brother to surrender the internet cable back to me..

Chinese New Years come and go, but this year it had been quite meaningful to me. I reminisced a lot about my childhood and early teenage years spent in the quaint little town of Kuantan, Pahang. The town (or city, whichever one applies :D) didn’t quite change much; the atmosphere was still the same, the skies were as blue as I could remember them to be, the people still as laid back, and not to mention the refreshing break from all those silly KL traffic jams. (^_^)

On the first day that I arrived back in Kuantan, one of the first things I did was to soak in the environment, breathe in the seaside air and like any self-respecting Kuantan resident, haahh~ switched into ‘relax & enjoy’ mode. Actually, it’s a bit odd that this year should be any different than the ones before because last time going back to Kuantan was a dull affair, if anything. Sure sure, there are friends to meet and yam cha and all that but I didn’t take Kuantan to be anything more than just a seaside town. Or city. But this year, it proved to be a wonderful trip back home.

And how I missed my favourite breakfast joint, an old but popular corner-shop restaurant called NEW HUP LEK. They serve absolutely the BEST Teh-C-Ping, with the smooth texture and light flavor and the ohsem taste of evaporated milk that bursts into a fantabulous aroma when fused with tea boiled at just the right temperature…WAHHH~ All that and only for RM 1.50, what a steal! I ordered it twice and would have gotten myself a third glass if not for the nasi lemak with kari ayam :D

Whilst I was at Kuantan, I had some brief reunions with some of my classmates of yore, mostly my Form 123 friends. I did feel kinda left out at first, cause many of them seemed to have changed, to have moved on. On the other hand, I don’t feel I’ve changed much. But at a small reunion dinner of sorts on Tuesday I discovered that while some of them had indeed ‘grown up’, so to speak, what with their funkier appearances and girlfriends in tow and all; many of my friends were still who I knew them to be. As I sat at one place observing, I can’t help but notice that.... some things never change. Some things just never change…

Harvest – wise, this year wasn’t too bad for me. Total ang-pau collections amounted to:

RM 240.00++

Not that much, I know. Especially for those of you with wealthier aunties and uncles who can easily match the above-mentioned amount with TWO ang-paus…. but still, it’s a good sum for me nonetheless. Enough for a round of splurging at Starbucks, heheh.

Sigh~, school’s coming again in a day or two. Time to hit the books..(yeah right :D)

And What Time Is It Now?

So the sorry for not having posted in so many days. It's a record alright, two weeks straight without an update..gomenasai~ (^_^) This being the post to break the one-month-long blogging drought on this site, I'll start with an uber-cool word. Lemme just look it up now ....... Got it! :D

*Ahem* For those of you who had prognosticated the very demise of my blog, I hereby stand firm declaring the resurrection (pardon the word, I know it's cheesy) of fongkeeken.blogspot.com! Haha, there then, I'm back. For now lah :D


The reason that I had been MWKW (missing who-knows-where) for so long is mainly attributed to to things : 1) My kemalasan and 2) my aging, ailing, failing computer...


Yea, the last few weeks of my absence has been marred by none other my computer giving a hundred and one stoopid problems..to sum up how many times I had reinstalled my Windows, I can now proudly say that I've memorised the windows CD-Key. Yup, that many times....in fact, I'm so unhappy with my pc that I'll list down some of the grievances that I have against the pc and the man who sold it to me. But fret not those of you who are not computer-jargon fluent, I'll put the layman's equivalents along which would be in blue, so read on!


-What The PC Salesguy Did To Me-


1.He gave me Pentium 4 3Ghz chip with HT, but the motherboard wasn't compatible, so the chip runs at 1.8Ghz now...WHAT?!
1.He sold me a nice Toyota engine that runs over 160kph but it was fitted inside a Kancil...


2.He gave me only 40Gb of hard disk space. Pittance considering what he was paid..
2.He sold me a car with a boot space no bigger than a fishbowl.

3.It did NOT come with a monitor.
3.My car didn't have a windscreen..

4.It was 256 Mb of RAM they gave me and they installed XP..
4.I was supposed to drive at a minimum of 80kph with only three wheels?

5.The hard disks are now already faulty, giving me nightmares and an endless rerun of system failures culminating in reformats that also end up getting corrupted later on.
5.The wheels came off several times already even when I drove at only 20kph, causing unnecessary mental and physical anguish..

6.They gave me the lousiest keyboard and mouse which broke in no time..
6.Surely you could understand that? :D

7.They didn't bother to give speakers too. Not even cheapo earphones!
7. A car with no speakers? Hang the salesman!! xD

8.Only a CD-RW drive, no DVD drive, sob..
8. Cassette player only ka? I want CD-player at least!

9.Oh, it used to run on integrated graphics, only now I'm using Justin's old GeForce 2 MX.
9.My radiator was a built-in kind, really lauya..the air-cond blew hot air, so I cannot tahan until had to take Justin's old car's radiator and use.

.................................


Trust me, I have plenty more to yap about but I'll take my leave for now, go dinner first :D Another time then. Hopefully my PC would be working the next time I'd need to update...
