Busy Holidays

It's Holiday

Yea, it's already second week of my university's holidays and third week since I finish my last paper of examination. Then why are this blog isn't updating? This seem unbelievable for me as well, I actually is busy enought for me to omit my time for blogging. Many things happened, a lot of fun and a lot of busy working things. I guess I start getting lazy and like to summarize things in one blog, don't worry, I promise a/some post about trip to Manila will be avaiable right after I come back from there, Stay Tune :)

FULL Holiday

My own defination for holidays is : Days which no need to worry when to wake up for lecture, date to submit assignment, chapters to read before some exam. Holidays are days which let me do whatever I like to do. However, this holiday turn out to be my busiest holiday ever. A holiday which full with work for game programming, full with training and preparation to programming competition, what's better than this :P. This is the most FULL holiday I ever have, FUN+WORK+EXPLORATION. hehe

FUN which tiring...

For sure, this holiday ain't just about working and programming, I will die if I live like that. (But never mind if I am working in Blizzard or Square Enix lah). What fun did I have...ermm... Basketball. Ya... It's been a very long time since I touch a basketball. I was at Setapak with Kent them and we went play basketball in the early morning. It seem that my skill of basketball get really rusty, but the fun of playing it is still the same, Basketball still my favourite game :D And it's LsL's games woo.

The next fun and crazy day is the day which tie my movie watching record and the first time I ever fell fed up eating McDonald. Last Thursday, William, Min Bee and I went to Wan Utama and watched 3 movie in a day. first movie is Open Season - Normal Animation, fair graphic and story line. second movie is World Trace Center - quite dissapointed, not as expected, fact and touch one. Third movie is The Grudge 2 (picture)- from japanese's Ju On 2, disgusting, shock scene, fair story line. Overally, these 3 movie, just fair. On the same day, we meet up Solid, Eddie and Eddie's cousin at the curve's McD and eat the McD buffet. This buffet made me felt that I don't want to see McD meal anymore in this half year. RM20.00 per pax and eat all you can inside McD (got some limitation lah) but it seem like a nightmare after we eat all those fried food, chicken, fries...ahh...fed up. Solid was the winner of the day, he ate 4.5 burger, 5 piece of chicken, 2 nugget, unknown amount of fries, banana pie and 3 glasses of soft drink. *Respect* *Salute* to the god of eat :P

The day after McD & Movie. Me, Min Bee and William were on the way to Genting Highland. It was a in plan trip for me (actually is Setapak there ask me go up de, and it's celebrating Kent's birthday, so, no matter how also must be there, hehe.), but it's not an in plan trip for Min Bee and William since they decide want to follow me at the midnite. So, we were there and our main objective is... Coffee Terrace's Buffet!



Coffee Terrace Buffet is a famous buffet restaurent at Genting Highland. It's has variety of food which include, local food, nyonya food, indian food, japanese food, western food, chinese food, desert, ice cream. Me, Min Bee and William take together and eat together and we can eat different kind of food for 3 hours, no repeated food except one plate of japanese uncook salmon fish meat. It was quite costy as we went at the peak period, it's RM67 per pax :|. Normally it is RM50. The pics are stolen from website, havent receive any pic from them yet.

We spent around 4 hours in that restaurant until everyone filled their stomach completely, eat back the price mah. After that, we have a short celebration for Kent at the room. Around 10 people fit into a small room and fool around with the cake. Then... as their tradition... divide into team, play Big 2, and the loser drink Chivas (it really seem is a tradition for them...lol). I lost few games, drank few cups of chivas...lucky still can tahan else Min Bee gonna kill me liaw. Until the Alcohol finished, we three went starbuck to enjoy the coffee and cold weather. This brought me back to the first time I drink Starbuck in my life at the same place, around the same time. Both was a very good time.

WORK which fun

My holiday mostly is covered by work and training. The day to Manila's regional ACM is very near. Honestly I didn't do much preparation, may be that will felt better and more relax... who knows. So, just take all the luck from friends and family, then enjoy myself there :P Need to headache wat sourvinie to buy lagi, haizz.

About the work from studio...Confidential :P

Ok lah...report until here, want to continue some of my coding.

Living with a Different Aim

The Hard Past Days

Crunching of assignments, studying for examination, keeping myself not going crazy and mad were the things I did for past few week. Obviously my blog production was a very big decrese, blog posting is... pathetic less, and my visitors were dissapointed with this slow/stop blog writer and stop clicking my link :( . Well...Yo! Kuan is back!

I wanted to blog few times at the time I either dying for Game application's assigment or OOP's assignment. Everytime the blog time I normally used (2 or 3 hours one post) always drive me back and continue my works :P . What happened to me for last month? I was emmerse completely into academic stuff. Assignments, test or exam, were all over my life, I didn't do any other thing beside of academic and life thing (life thing mean, eat, sleep, hang out with mother :P). I didn't do a job about GDC's VP (bad guy...) I didn't commit anything to Hatchlings Games (and they did a lot, I'm really a bad guy...).

My full concerntration for assignments ( I really felt sien ((chinese words, bring a meaning of ...sien lah...haizz.)) keep repeat typing this damn "assignment" words over and over again ). I have an academic aim in MMU, I have to keep myself in a very top position to ensure I can win an intership to Korea (if there's one at my time) and for this reason, I need to put all my time and brain to make sure everything go smooth. Well....that's why I dissapearing in those time. Anyway...I'm Back ! :P

The Happy Past Days

Kuan is not that Geek anyway. Don't misunderstand that I really used all my time just for typing report or figuring way to score a max mark in assignment (Again?!). Many events happened in between those days. Too bad I was too busy and lazy to blog them. Mother was here. Me, and cousins in KL had a dinner together, then I brought her to Ikea, Wan U, and lastly KLIA(what a brief, It's a sweet weekend). One day, me, Min Bee, William and Miss Yoon went pizza hut and JJ shopping (what a good day :P) and Miss Yoon said she has a friend who work in a famous Korea's Game Company, and she's a PR of that company, I might stand a little chance if I like that inter at there :) .

What else...O! I'd celebrate Mooncake festival, but it's one day after the real day. Why? Because having an exam paper at the day after mooncake festival and need to study. Right after my paper, Me, William, Min Bee, Yan Hui get on my car and drive all the way to Sg.Buloh, to William's house. On the way, we picked up Jillian. We spent a nice night there, William's family gave us a warm welcome, and his mother cook a lot of delicious food for us ( so nice...). Then we light up some tanglong and brought some tanglung walked around that Taman (ah ha...I am 22 years old anyway... :P). After that we went Mont Kiara (the real Yum Cah Heaven in KL, freaking many people, too freaking many car). We went there's 24 hours Starbucks and drank some coffee there.

Current Days?

So, it's holidays. I'm proud of myself that I can last typing this blog from last holiday until this holidays. (Loud applause). I received many positive feedback for my blog and some friends enjoy reading it, thank for the support :) I promised I will keep this up as long as someone viewing it. Why sound like going to end this, lol. Ok, letz keep going...

It's Holidays. Finally I got myself free from all those freaking tedius assignment (again...) and exam, and finally I freely can chose what to do at my time now. I receive some mission right after I get my own feet.

ACM

nFirst mission - Training. Something very big is going to happen in my life. A programming competition between other asia country's university, A trip which fully sponsored by IBM, A country which I never think of going there. Hehe. It's Manila ACM, and we, SJK is going to there to face our next challenge by this end of month. So, part of this holiday I need to sharpen my coding skill and algorithm thinking. Anyway, SJK still the same, our main objective is EAT (by Solid the leader), secondary is SEE and PLAY (by Kuan), then is taking Photo!(by Josh, I made this up myself one... hehe). Well, go relax, code relax, and wait for the miracle.

Hatchlings Games

hNext mission - Game Coding. Then I got a big job by my boss :P Ahh...cannot say much, I think this is abit CONFIDENTIAL. Need to get permit first. Something I can leak is, I going to become a true game programmer and need to really code something this time.

Company of Heroes

hAh Ha! I didn't play any game since September! What a shame for a game developers. I going to crazy if I keep not playing any game. Then I found this game, Published by THQ, developed by Relic. A cutting edge and best reviews RTS of the year - company of heroes. I enjoy playing it. It's graphic, story line, game plays are all good. RTS lover should try this out. Well, I set myself a mission to complete this game (I not going to give up halfway again this time!).

GDC

hHehe... Thing going to happen next sems and my mission as a Vice President in this holiday is to plan a Game programming competition and make it happen in coming semester. Anyone have whatever idea on mind and suggest to me :)

Seem it's a bit rush and i need to end this now. Going back to Setapak since there are some hunger ghost waiting my car to drive them to grab food.

By the way, It's 14th October at Australia in this time. At here, I want to greet my very best friend, Edmund, Happy Birthday. Wanna record this at my blog, forever recorded :P. Cheer guy! There's a very bright road for you!

Today Feeling - Holiday mood, mission ON.

Assignments, and Exam period

I just pass my assignments MONTH. can't believe it actually cost my one whole month's time to do different assignment. It's really killing when you take 7 subjects in one semester in MMU. I actually have 7 different assignment on hand but lucky submit in different time. In past month, I didn't play any game, I just watch 3 movies (actually got alot dy :P), I back to Setapak once, for assignment one... TERRIBLE. And finally I finished them!

But now...here comes my exam week. Arrggghh, I managed to caught 2 days rest and now need to enter exam mode. Felt sorry not updating this blog for a damn long time. Will be back after my exam ! stay tune!

:P, and good luck for MMU's buddies Exam.
