Getting back to business...

Okay this was what happened yesterday. Bullet points with some elaboration :

- Lunch with a special someone.
No comment :)

- Went out with my @D4 teammates (IN, Alpha, Sato) to Sunway Pyramid.
As usual, like every week. Nothing to elaborate upon :3 but this is the first time IN paid for parking (for an hour at least).

- Met up with Kenji (my fellow RV teammate and also leader) as well as -KS- since they were there too.
Before the day itself, Kenji asked me to join them but I had the lunch going on, but anyways it was fun meeting up with these guys.

- Got ★1588 R32 card like everyone else :3
Not exactly "everyone else" but I guess having connections helps. :3

- ID4 Iro DH Wet 2'45"4 RX-8...just for fun.
Just 2 games. Not pushing it. I'm supposed to be done with this game remember?

- Tuned the -R.V- R32 from Level 40 to Level 42 dressup.
Seeing Kenji was away with -KS- for dinner, I went and helped Kenji tune to the first neon. Ghost Battle Mode is boring.

- Metro Highway Tokyo with my own Lili★ R32, testing 760HP/D, with one big hit, ends at 12'12"014.
760HP/D surprisingly feels nice...but needs a lot of work in C1. I'm losing a fair bit of time there..but for a first try I guess it's pretty nice. And if it wasn't for the one hit at the S turn before the Yoko Down/C1 Out split I would have gotten 11.5..ironically the same time on the card. :)

- Dinner at Cilli Padi (met Jimmy and his girlfriend Tracy here) near Happy Gardens - had Chicken Maryland and 2 scoops of Chocolate Ice Cream.
Chicken Maryland was pretty decent..nothing really special for RM18...but the ice cream was fantastic :D

- Received a note that the the -R.V- R32 card is ready..now to fork out money...
This is R32 number.....5 i have. (6 if you count CY+JA which is with Ricky (@GT2))
- Lili★ - Current one, A3 rank, 1283 stars.
- Lili★ - Second one, given to the special someone, B2 rank but I have it for the moment, 443 stars.
- Lili★ - Third one, but first Lili★ made. Currently at 800HP/DG, Stage 44. No stars. :3
- ★1588 - Pros call this the rubbish car (I think it's just the reputation of that team...)but hey this card is so famous so I wanted one (and those connected to the pros all have one too). I don't remember how many stars this had...6000+? But these stars aren't mine anyways.
- -R.V- - Coming soon. :3 Don't remember how many stars (exactly 300?) but this one comes with a red aura - None of my cars have such an aura :3 - they are all either green or purple.

- Played Outrun 2 at MV...
Heart Attack mode owns. Although to be honest, I can only do so well at the Easy splits..the hard ones I can't do well..especially the blue cone request.

- .....and also played Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 3 at MV and had a 4 win streak going on.
- Hohoho, the first three wins I was pretty calm..the fourth one in Osaka..I think I spun out of control..my playstyle that is. I think that was the first time I got fired up on instinct...and I don't know why either!

- Finished Story mode 2nd loop for my Lili★ R32 till Stage 20.
Technically, 226 games more till S9 for my R32..provided I don't battle. Can be done by September..but I'll need a job to confirm that (No money = No WMMT)

- Tagged with Sato for Time Crisis 4
.....and found that all enemies still have double HP even when the partner is dead. :( I died at the last section of Stage 3 Area 1 because the double HP really kills my concentration...I needed to dodge more red sights I wasn't expecting (I usually play Solo because of this reason).

- Had a drink with my @D4 mates at Stevens Corner OUG right after...for about like 10 minutes.
Nothing much to say here...

- Posted my teammate's record.
- Needed to do it before I forget the 4 digit key because I don't have it noted anywhere.

That's all. :)

Of apple pies, boost off battles, peer pressure and nostalgia.

Okay okay fine, so I didn't update for so long >_< >_< so sorryyyyyy :(

Today was a pretty fine day in my book. One that lifted up my spirits.

I got myself to Sg Wang for two reasons today.
a) My team mate and good friend Loong's girlfriend is present to take the card that I've been tuning for him (-_- and ironically I confirmed its bad luck status, once it got off my hand I feel 99.6% more relieved)
b) Samuel (a good ol' friend from the IDV3 Kotaraya days) called me out to play ID4. (despite me at the bottom off the barrel in money terms :( )

So I got out to Sg Wang from Tun Sambanthan Monorail (its 50 cents cheaper damn it, and I didnt want to walk from TS -_-) and when I searched out Samuel, he hasn't change a single bit. Still super tall as he used to be, I don't think I noticed anything different as I spotted him right away. He however, like 75% of the people I know said "how different I look from before" =_= omg really now, am I THAT different from before?

Immediately, we got down to business. Since there was this S2000 accepting challengers, I decided to bring out my 86, and dragged him to Akina Downhill. Since he asked for boost off, I obliged. Immediately, like ants there was a crowd behind me. Like what? o_o And in the end I managed to pass him at the Death Corner (I like the name, woohoo) and ran away 300+m. Now usually, this will scare off the challenger right?

Nope.

He came back for Tsukuba as expected. Boost off again despite me knowing how dangerous it is, but I looked at his TA times and suspected something. Which was confirmed the moment we hit the first turn in CP3. Coz with a crap speed I was actually catching up and passed him by the start of CP4 -_-;;; and ran away by 100+m.

With my free game I pulled off a 2'50"9 Tsukuba OB with my then 7-2-1-1-2 AE86T. -_- It was such a nice run but I hated the highway CP that was CP2. -_- Now, during the free game, I received some calls on my phone, I didn't think of much.

Until I saw who called that is. -_- Now I had to wait till 4.30 to pass back the card. Bad feeling UP!

Anyway, I got Samuel to make his ID card. Luckily enough there was no 403 (Sg Wang is notorious for such an error -_-) and I got him to buy his Trueno. Well....actually initially he wanted to buy the Evo 4 or the GC8v...but I showed him the awesomeness that is the Trueno (yay free game for my card again XD) and he bought it. He immediately showed interest in Iro, which I showed him how (well...at least for 3 CPs -_- I kinda reversed on the fourth jump, and it was damn nice too =.=).

Then, he started playing Iro, first game being something like a 3'06, but I managed to help him a little with wall ramming and stuff, and when I taught him the all important penalty cancel tech, he actually did it very well. Better than me even O_o. I see his accel brought back to life everytime he uses it. He then brought his time down to 2'59"0 within a few games. Then he himself got into a battle, which he won. First win for him. Congrats :D

What happened next was pure awesomeness.

Sam: Eh, so pressing the view change + start button, what will happen ah?
Me: Force Quit...you've played V3, you should know.
Sam: Like this?
"TIME IS UP"
Sam: Oops.
Me: WTF YOU WASTED YOUR FREE GAME
(guy next to him was hoping to rechallenge but he can't :p)
Sam: Err...(takes card) I didn't know ma
(I walk away with him)
Me: Let's admit it, you did it on purpose so that the other guy didn't get the chance to challenge back.
Sam: Yeah la of course :p

LOL.

Then we head off to McDs downstairs, where Samuel treated me to a Med.Coke, and an Apple Pie. Thank you! ^o^

Although I wonder why you want me to eat the apple pie that badly O_o

Me: (chats about other things)
Sam: Yeah, cool. Eh, eat the apple pie la.
Me: -_- Later la.
(30 seconds later)
Sam: (chats and suddenly...) Eh, eat the apple pie la!
Me: -_- Yes la eating la.

So we chat a lot actually, among things the old Kotaraya gang and where the others went to (that's Yian, Barry, Alv, David (Croix), Nic, Jason (the OTHER one), himself (Sam), Ash, Roy, Ceres and the other specky dude that the name escapes me). Somehow, talking to him brings back thought of the good old days where i used to be super free for ID right after class, or before it. Before it all came crashing down thanks to the main V3 arcade closing. Sad.

Then we went back up to the arcade to see him play some more Akina and Iro. -_- I wished he'd listen to what I say.

Me: So this corner, use In-In-Out lining yes?
Sam: Ok.
(sees Sam use Out-In-Out)
Me: =_+ errrrrr......
Sam: Sorry got used to it -_-
Me: =_= right....

Then, Loong's gf called and I made my move to Royale Bintang and passed the card to her. Suddenly my mood returned after a few days of absence :D

Next, we headed off to TS, where I picked up some more battles. Awesome. I didn't see anyone I know except Kim (who disappeared right after saying hello =_=) and that "X-FAST" kid. =_=. Poor Sam lost 2 battles in V3. :( Disappointing day for him. I got something like an 06 for Akina Downhill with 7-2-2-1-2 but I was so disappointed that I didn't do better. Then we went off to dinner at the TS food court upstairs where I had my Fried Rice and Sam having er...Salty Fried Kuey Teow =_=;;; which he returned and got the...not so salty one which he theorized that they put his Kuey Teow through water and then served it out again.

After that we head off back to the arcade where Sam finally realized he's overspent for the day (not really broke but he didnt expect to spend so much XD). But somehow my bored self managed to coax him BACK to Sg Wang where I got 2 battles (won the first, lost the second, damn my Akagi sucks, and first loss for my 86) and Sam got his 57 Iro. I then tried Iro with my own 86, and got a crappy 2'48"9 with 7-2-2-2-2. Lost 10km/h for some of the turns. Felt like screaming but never did -_-

Then I managed to pull this off:
Sam: Eh dude, that 2'48 is quite fast ah...
Me: You can do it too. Wanna try my car? :D :D :D
Sam: Eh cannot la I overspent already!!!
Me: My Yumi* Trueno is calling out for youuuuuuuuuuuuuu.........
Sam: .... (goes to the counter)
Me: XD (whee free game for my car :D)

And he ran like...a 55"9 or something. Trying to tempt him again didn't work -_- :p.

We walked all the way down from Sg Wang to Kotaraya. Was fun to chat with him continuously haha. Then we got to Kotaraya to have a look see around the former hangout for us. Somehow, it doesn't feel the same. It's now 1.5x times more smoky (there's even smoke coming out of some of the aircon vents =_=). More importantly. where did the last pair of V3 machines go? All they have now are crappy as hell V2 machines, and a bunch of Cyber Cafes (as if that building needs more than 2...). And the former "main hangout"...well..it's empty now. Deserted. Crap man, thinking about all this makes me and him almost cry.

Then we split from there. A nice and interesting day to cap off what was a high and low week. I didn't expect so much from this, but in the end there were many things that were memorable.

Thank you for reading, and good night :)

(And while I wish I capped this off with pictures, I didn't take any. Sorry >_<)

Sunway Pyramid Arcade pics (20/7/2007)

Since I've taken them, might as well post them here. No flash. Yes, some of the pics would look way better. But I was being paranoid of looking like a suspicious character. (or worse, getting on the bad side of the arcade operator!)

Behold! It's Mario Kart Arcade GP! :p

And there are four of em :D

OMG. It's Initial D 4 XD. SABRE is the dude who gave some tips to help me beat LotS for the first time :D

My good friend Zackler taking on Kozo Hoshino. Doryaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!

In-game....

This is Initial D 3 Japanese Ver. heaven. English version? Tadak. :p
(Oh btw, mistake on my part, there was only 10 machines....)

Save the world...deluxe style XD

The Great LYN Nintendo DS Meetup July Editon

Hm, it's that time of the year again. It's on:

Date: 21st July (Saturday after this)
Time: 1200-1700hrs.
Location: Hotel Armada PJ (nearby Asia Jaya LRT)

As usual, the FAQ.

1) A hotel?
Yup.

2) Why there and not (location X)?
Because according to THE MAN himself A.K.A Mr. Penman:

For a change, we are going to have something different and more comfortable. We are gonna have a Hi-Tea Buffet LYN Nintendo Gathering, it's RM35++ person at Hotel Armada. Currently, there's a "2+1" promotion going on, i.e. if we can get a group of 3, it'll only cost less than RM30 per person.

And as for payment, again I refer you to THE MAN:

Payment
we'll take the TOTAL amount, then divide by attendance on that day. It'll be great, if we can find a group of 3s, e.g. 3, 6, 9, 12, etc.

3) WTF.
Hey, you are paying for good food here. :) And it's free flow too. You can eat until you can't. So....yeah.

4) But what if I DON'T want to eat?
Think of it as lunch? :) (Tagged: I'll leave this to Mr. Penman to answer, as I've run out of a proper answer >_<)

5) What do you guys do in the outing?
Well...besides eating....

We play Multiplayer games of the following:

a) Mario Kart DS (if possible bring your own carts/R4/whatever)
b) Clubhouse Games
c) Tetris DS
d) Metroid Prime Hunters (in case...just..in case)
e) Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan (note, bring your own carts, as there is no download play)
f) Elite Beat Agents (again, bring your own carts if possible)
g) Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii: Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2 (and yet again, bring your own carts if possible)
h) Bomberman DS
and more :D

Take this time to show off your l33t skillz in the games :)

6) But what if I don't own Mario Kart DS/EBA/Ouendan 2?
Flash cart users have no excuse :p

But if you aren't, then we can accomodate you with download play. :)

7) Erm...my games are...you know la, not the "real" kind, so can I come?
Yes you can. We don't discriminate against "ahem" users. (Original zealots, STFU)

8) I don't have a Nintendo DS but I'm interested. Can I still come?
If you're coming just to meet up, why not? It's an opportunity for fellowship. However, please confirm your attendance HERE. Please do not confirm by leaving a message here!

Though when we get to play games, there will not likely be a spare DS for you, sorry.

9) Confirm your attendance?
Yes. Coz we need to do reservations for the Hi-Tea. And please honor your reservation. Meaning if you say you're coming, you really come. This is serious business.

10) Any preparations if I'm coming?
Charge your DS/DS Lite. Very important. We don't want you to run outta power. Unless you bring your own charger (and find a power outlet) coz most of us don't.

11) I'm staying quite far away, but since most multiplayer games have the Nintendo WiFi Connection, can I use that to communicate with you guys?
Sorry. I doubt the hotel has free WiFi. Therefore, it's not possible.

12) Any rules during multiplayer matches?
No rules. This is just a friendly meeting. However, I advise and stress that NO cheat devices be used in the outing. Don't spoil the fun of others. We are here to have fun, not rake in wins.

(As far as Mario Kart DS is concerned, note that generally we do NOT do snaking matches)

13) What about behaviour? Any rules on that?
Although I've been told that it's okay to behave normally like previous outings, because we are going to do it in a hotel, please do not put yourself in a bad light in front of other hotel guests. I'm not saying you can't scream and what not, but please don't go overboard. You don't want to get yourself banned from that hotel and you sure as hell don't want to offend any guests.

A special message from Reveur : He says that pwetty girls are invited :P

(But if you want to come, go here to confirm your attendance lah)

Phoenix_Cypher_K1, Pr1me_Minister (thank you for the Togekiss and Articuno tongue.gif hope you enjoy the Latis)
---------------end report------------------------------------------------

Well, I went there at around 11.40am (was busy uploading vids to Youtube coz the GameFAQs forumers were asking for some Ouendan 2 EBA mode vids - hence the lateness - and said vids are also uploaded to my subsite, check the sidebar). When I reached, I could not find them, till I saw them over at the seats outside IMAX. Mudmaniac and friend, Yuki and Corez were already there. Pr1me Minister arrived last, and there were no more arrivals after that.

The games were fun. Pr1me and I definitely enjoyed switching leads on top of the MKDS leaderboard at least a dozen times while Corez did enjoy his moment of fun on top for 2 rounds. Tetris, no contest, again, Corez won most of the matches. I pulled a win tho :p. Then EBA and Ouendan 2 gaming sessions, were pretty limited (download play), but it was still fun (I'm not used to playing Normal mode tho)

The meeting effectively ended at 5, but Yuki, Corez, Pr1me and me stayed back for dinner (Yuki having the worst Yong Tau Foo ever), and had single player fun (Yuki finished Nanostray !_!, Corez playing The Anthem on EBA till...his battery packs ran out, and Pr1me actually playing Ouendan 2 despite having a busted touch screen, I played Ouendan 1 in the meantime, while pulling off another (crap) 9999999 on SSAY Insane-Hidden on Ouendan 2 when I did get to play it.

At 8pm, Corez and Yuki went off, while me and Pr1me went off to Starbucks, as he wanted to surf on his Ninty DS browser (while I took the advantage to eat cake + Mocca Frap :p), before we both took the train home.

As for the outing, as per report it was a success. However, Times Square is starting to be a cursed place for outings for low turnouts. I'm beginning to think about NOT suggesting Times Square in future.

LYN Nintendo DS June Meetup

[Bumped up once]

We interrupt the regular scheduled programming for a special news bulletin :D


It's the official LowYat.Net Nintendo DS Gathering June Edition. It's on this Saturday the 23rd.

Click HERE to go to the discussion thread over at LYN forums :D

As usual the FAQ in case ANYONE missed it.

1) Where in Times Square? SO BIG LA!
10th floor food court, same as IMAX. Take the lift at the far left end (Borders side)

2) Why there and not (location X)?
It's always good to know that Times Square is massively crowded on weekends EXCEPT for the upper levels. (Because except for IMAX, it is deserted). And lo and behold the food court is located at the upper levels.

3) What do you guys do in the outing?
Play Multiplayer games such as Mario Kart DS, Clubhouse Games, Tetris DS, Metroid Prime Hunters, Ouendan/EBA/Ouendan 2 and more. Take this time to show off your l33t skillz. No cheating pls -_-

4) I'm not a LowYat.Net member? Can I still come?
Of course. The more the merrier. Of course, sign up later for post-outing discussions! :p

5) Erm...my games are...you know la, not the "real" kind, so can I come?
Yes you can. We don't discriminate against "ahem" users. (Original zealots, STFU)

6) I don't have a Nintendo DS but I'm interested. Can I still come?
Well, it might be a problem to find a spare DS/DS Lite for you, unless you plan to just come as an observer. I *might* bring the spare I had, but due to technical issues with it (Hint:R button) I might not.

7) Any preparations if I'm coming?
Charge your DS/DS Lite. Very important. We don't want you to run outta power. Unless you bring your own charger (and find a power outlet) coz most of us don't.

8) Why the meeting end time is so uncertain?
This depends on location, and the outing goers' free time. We all can't sit inside some place till night right? (Actually some can :D)

9) I'm staying quite far away, but since most multiplayer games have the Nintendo WiFi Connection, can I use that to communicate with you guys?
I'll shorten last month's FAQ answer: No because of battery consumption issues, and there is no WiFi at the location anyway.

10) Any rules during multiplayer matches?
No rules. This is just a friendly meeting. However, I advise and stress that NO cheat devices be used in the outing. Don't spoil the fun of others. We are here to have fun, not rake in wins.

(As far as Mario Kart DS is concerned, ask first if it's a snaking match or not)

11) What about behaviour? Any rules on that?
No. But I'd advise NOT to get over your head. We don't want to get kicked out of the place.

12) Why is the banner PINK?!
According to the creator, it is effective at warding off certain...things.

13) You make it sound like a ghost story.
-_- No.

Oh, and Reveur says that pwetty girls are invited :P

The day in review.

I guess I shouldn't procastinate on updating, plus if I don't update it now, I'll probably never get around to updating it at all since exam is knocking on my door.

The day began...from yesterday. Since I spent the night bashing to Ouendan. (Lesson: Never play Ouendan when your eyes want to close shop. You'll end up smacking the beat to the left or the right of the actual marker).

Anyways, I got to LRT Taman Jaya at 7.20am, 25 minutes before Penman's supposed arrival at 7.45. SMS'd him too. 10 minutes before the supposed arrival I got a nice reply >_>

So I glanced and looked around to check on where on earth he is, and then I found out that he is in Taman Bahagia. WTF.

Taman Bahagia =/= Taman Jaya. ZOMG.

Next time, I'm gonna double-triple-quad confirm, even to the extent of checking on the surrounding areas. Anyway, met Andy up at the station (also another victim >_>) and took the train to Taman Bahagia, where Mr. Penman was happily waiting. Then we went to pick up his girlfriend and went to Hong Kei Dim Sum for Breakfast. Halfway through Reveur and his girlfriend joined us and we had a good breakfast. :)

Then we drove to the Litt-Tak Bandai Clearance Sale. (whatever you call it, it feels like a clearance sale to me!). There Mr. Penman lead us to the finest Final Fantasy adventure ever where followed a sign that says "Welcome: Gundam Land", promptly gotten lost, fought no monsters (someone must have equipped "No Encounters" armor), but only served to do 99999 to the self-owned meter. Which wasn't too bad actually. A good morning walk after breakfast was good.

So then when we FINALLY reached the warehouse, I guess it was a relief we didn't get lost. Personally speaking the warehouse sale feels great for everyone but me. I did like the Tomy Train Set though. But they are expensive !_!. As for Gundam, I came close to picking one up but I guess I resisted, somehow. Anyway for a more complete coverage of the event head over to Mr. Penman's blog. :)

I didn't figure that Penman would be from my church. LOL! I had no clue till I saw the empty envelope stuck to his err..."Sun Shade", or whatever he called it. LOL. I didn't quite figure also that he'd be more involved in the church than me, with the Calvary Life Ministries site designed by him. Nice job.

Anyways, the outing ended after the sale, and I headed back. That's about it.

Now to catch up on some studying. Out.

Blog update.

Added the Game-Lah link to the sidebar, as well as Mr. Penman's blog as well as Zio's :)

I'll blog more later. I'm quite tired and I have to finish studying. Zzzzz.

The Lit-Tak Bandai Clearance Sale (or whatever you want to call it) was interesting though at least for Gundam fans. Be back with more in a bit...

EDIT: Make that tomorrow or Monday.

The LYN Nintendo DS Outing May Edition. And a FAQ to boot.

Figured that I should do some advertising for the outing. Anyways, this Saturday, we'll be having a Nintendo DS outing over at the McDonalds opposite Ikea. The meeting will start at 11am and will end at...well...when it'll end :p

Here's some Q&A :p

1) What do you guys do in the outing?
Play Multiplayer games such as Mario Kart DS, Clubhouse Games, Tetris DS, Metroid Prime Hunters, Ouendan/EBA/Ouendan 2 and more. You can also take this time to show off your l33t skillz. Of course, you can also show off your cool DS mods :p

2) I'm not a LowYat.Net member? Can I still come?
Of course. The more the merrier. Of course, sign up later for post-outing discussions! :p

3) Erm...my games are...you know la, not the "real" kind, so can I come?
Yes you can. We don't discriminate against "ahem" users.

4) I don't have a Nintendo DS but I'm interested. Can I still come?
Well, it might be a problem to find a spare DS/DS Lite for you, unless you plan to just come as an observer. Thankfully, yours truly will be bringing a spare DS Lite along on outing day :D In case we have visitors :D

5) Why the meeting end time is so uncertain?
This depends on location, and the outing goers' free time. We all can't sit inside some place till night right?

6) I'm staying quite far away, but since most multiplayer games have the Nintendo WiFi Connection, can I use that to communicate with you guys?
Unfortunately, the answer is no. The battery consumption is very painful so as a result we do not prefer to go on WFC during outings, especially since regular wireless eats into the battery already. Furthermore, I can confirm that McDonalds opposite Ikea DOES NOT have ANY WiFi whatsoever.

7) Any preparations if I'm coming?
Charge your DS/DS Lite. Very important. We don't want you to run outta power. Unless you bring your own charger coz most of us don't.

8) Any rules during multiplayer matches?
No rules. This is just a friendly meeting. However, I advise and stress that NO cheat devices be used in the outing. Don't spoil the fun of others. We are here to have fun, not rake in wins.

(As far as Mario Kart DS is concerned, ask first if it's a snaking match or not)

9) What about behaviour? Any rules on that?
Well...no. But I'd advise NOT to get over your head. We don't want to get kicked out of the place.

10) Can I come over to annoy you people?
If you're that annoying person(s), get a life. And as reveur said over at the tagbox: fags, mofos and idiots are not allowed.:P

Hope to see you guys there on Saturday :D
