Storm

stormSome of you might have wonder why on earth i have been using ‘Storm’ as my nickname so here is the main reason~ My first power ball that i use was Fire Storm and during those day which could say around the year 1995 that ball was release. I was really happy that time as having a reactive bowling ball those days is truly something as the technology being use on the ball is can say something very new in bowling ball manufacturing industry.

I still remember this ball so well as right now i’m still keeping Fire Storm or could i say that i gave it to my mom to use. Not to mention my first bowling ball my mom is still using it hahaha… So those day when i was using Fire Storm, it actually bring a major changes on my game as the performance of the ball does really increase my average. Ever since then whatever ball i got or purchase sure from Storm manufacturer such as Black Thunder Storm, Trauma ER, El Nino and few more which i really can’t remember the name. The good thing about Storm bowling ball is that their performance is really good but the negative issue is that Storm bowling ball wont last long when compare to other brand. So i basically have to get a new ball almost every 4 to 6 month…

Few years ago i basically stop using Storm bowling ball as i’m no longer as active as i used to be and the cost of changing ball is really killing me. Can say my dad is the one suffer the most since he is the one who buy it for me and those days to get people to sponsor bowling ball is close to impossible! So i ended up using different brand such as Black Wolf, Messenger,Tornado and finally got a bowling ball which i used for a long time which is Roll from Columbia.

Now that ball has lost it performance but i manage to use it for over 2 years and had to change it which got another ball from Ebonite named Apex. Until now i still can’t get any detail of this ball as its a blue colour Apex but the ball really suite me well as suprisingly i been using it for over 3 years and still using it now! But this ball is sooner or later wont last long but luckily i got a new ball or i should say my somebody gave a ball to my mom and she gave it to me hehehe… and i was really suprise when i saw it as the ball is Storm then it look so damn similar to Fire Storm and the best part is the ball name Fired Up Storm!!! Somehow i feel this is like an old reunion of how i got my first Storm ball and the ball performance is really superb! At least now i have two good bowling ball with me so now hoping it can last for longer time and at least i’m more happy when bowling (not to mention getting high score is truly something to be proud of hahaha~)

*If you still wondering why i my nickname is Storm then its call most of the bowling ball i se before this is under Storm and don’t think i got the nickname of Storm cause i’m a fan of one main character in X-Men…*

William vs Crab!!!

kampung_fish_steamboat


Well it’s a poor image but what the hell~ At least i indicate where is those crab located hahaha…

I don’t really fancy or love eating crab but somehow today i had a hard time eating them and could say fighting with the DEAD crab to get what i want which is their flesh that has been protected by their annoying solid shell!!!

I can’t really remember when was the last time i actually ate one but i do remember everytime there is a dish full of juicy crab on it, i would just pass or not bother eating it. The reason why i didn’t bother eating them is like i say the annoying solid shell!!! It’s just too troublesome to dig in to get the flesh but some people would just love it due to many reason and of course crab is consider expensive which not everytime you get to eat them.

Well today i went out for dinner and base on the image shown, there is two different type of crab dish which its quite far from me. Somehow today i just got the mood to get my hands dirty so ended up grabbing a few parts of the crab and frankly speaking i did play around a little with the claws which i shown it to my sister and had a few jokes about it haha… Since i hardly try them, it took me quite sometimes to get the victory of tasting them~ It make me feel like i’m in a battle which the conclusion of the battle is…. the crab win… That’s right~ THE CRAB WIN!!!

If you were wondering why i say the crab win~ so let me tell it to you right now… Even i manage to eat them but the overall damage was the worst on my side, i had my to use both of my hand to crack open those solid shell and the sad part but kinda cool is i had to use the mini sledge hammer (Ok fine its just a small simple hammer~!) to crack open that bugger. The claw was the easy part which i got to use the mini sledge hammer but other part i was like "How da hell i’m suppose to eat you(The Crab)?!?!?!?!

Right now i’m quite satisfy with my meal but the crab experience conclusion is~ just go to Sushi King and order Soft Shell Crab which i sure win!!!! Yeah man!!! ~GAME OVER~

Movie: DOA - Dead Or Alive

doaFrom the first time i heard that a movie will be release for DOA i was like "WTF man?!?!". Seriously i was wondering how they going to come out with a movie with a very limited amount of storyline from the game and the worst thing is that the DOA gameplay is actually fighting!

Today i ended up watching the movie and i was expecting the whole show just fight… fight… and fight… and indeed… they just fight for no bloody reason… Storyline was like… ermmm… can say don’t have???? I hardly play DOA games but i realize that the game really focus more into the girls and so does the movie.

I read a lot of negative review about the movie as most of the reviewer are DOA’s fans (as in the game) but for me i feel its quite ok as just to admire hot chicks fighting around and the effect they put in are quite alrite.

Trip to Singapore

me_in_singaporeIt has truly been a very long time since i got out of Malaysia and finally i got the chance! even it’s a very short trip but i had some great time at Singapore and truly don’t wish to come back to Malaysia…

The journey there was the worst as i had to take train with the duration of nearly 10 hours!!! Seriously i never want to take the train again and would prefer taking the bus services but of course the best is by plane.

This trip was kinda last minute for me as my sister is the one who wanted to go there and i basically have to follow her but in the end i went around sightseeing with my buddy Ray, Lai Ying and James. From the moment i arrive Singapore i never stop being amazed as such a small country are so developed and what i love the most is the cleanliness on the country as the air over there is way much cleaner compare to Malaysia and i truly wish to stay there longer or even become a permanent resident there. The thing which a problem living at Singapore is their parking but then i came to realize that their public transport is good enough for me to travel any part of Singapore so better don’t bother about getting a car there hehehe…

Other than sightseeing, i manage to visit Sim Lim Square which it’s one of the popular IT market in Singapore which that also i was amaza on how organize and clean the place being setup. Usually i have a lot of things to buy but this time i just got a HDD enclosure and hoping the next time to visit there again.

Still also this trip the main reason i’m there is to see my aunt, grandma and cousins which it’s actually cool to hang around with them as we had some good time even its very short but i will meet them again since i know how to get there on my own~

It’s nice for me to travel and i’m really hoping that in the future i can travel to more places and i enjoy visiting other country during the winter season. As for now i’m cutting my blog very short as these day i’m extremely tired and don’t really have much time to blog also…

AniSphere v1.0

animedb_main


Finally!!! After months of struggle at last i completed a fully functional program to store all my anime info that i have downloaded~!

It first started when my interest in anime few years back and i really download almost any type of animation that are available. As the large number of animation that i download making things hard to keep track, so normally myself and other anime collector would use Microsoft Excel to add and update their anime list. After sometime i came to realize that using Microsoft Excel to update my anime list is so plain and boring, so i got the idea of creating my own program by using Visual Basic 6.

By right AniSphere suppose to be v2.0 since it follow the same function and concept of the previous program i made but i decided it to be a new version as i have learn and adapted Visual Studio 2005 on Visual Basic language to this project and has way a lot of improvement compare to the first one i made.

AniSphere basically has the function of update, remove, add and transfer to Completed Mode. Also extra function such as check for "Completed Anime", "Burnable Anime" and also "Outdated Anime". Well it does sound like a simple program but for me, it feel like programming is not an easy task which designing the interface on what i wanted and the function needed also is not that simple. Even AniSphere is workable right now but i still have a lot debugging to do in order to make it stable and suitable to use on any condition.

I’m still considering on weather to allow other people to try my software as there is few factors need to consider if i publish this software. So feel free to give me some comment on what you see about the software and i will update more about it when i got the time…
