"Eh... how is ur oliday at there? Mus b syok rite?"
"So, wat is ur result for last sem? Gud o not?"
"CNY want to go wher?"
"......"
The response for the holidays that I get is normally like that. And now, it is time to leave the home sweet home again for another semester in school... Even though that no one likes to leave their home, and also includes me.
As the final paper for the final finished, soon we will thought of the holiday and want to spend the time, but, who knows that the 45 days is just too soon for it to end, and now it is really come to an end, which means no holiday! School semester is coming back!
New year, really will bring out any new hope? I hope so, even though the possibility is not high, though.
Yeah, and hope that my results for the following semester will better than before; since my previous semester I did not show out with a good result, and just hope that I can cover it for save my bad results from the last semester.

Gallery of my mates
Sigh, quite 'disapoint' that a few more days I need to go back to study again, moreover, there are a lot of my time table are crashed for some reasons.
At the time before I leave for holiday, I remembered that I have take some photos with my friend, even I am not so photogenic (don't know) as I always wear extremely casual and quite a mess for that day when my friend asks me to take the photo.
Just bought something from my friend since that they are undergoing the entrepreneur project, I know how hard to make it.
That's it. No commentary on that. Quite relieved that I am having good course mates at there. Meet 'ya again a few days later.

Christmas and New Year
Just as always, the year-end is always a great festive for anyone in the world, especially for those who are celebrating them. Why?
22th Winter Festival for Chinese, also called Dōng Zhì for Chinese.
then,
24th is Christmas Eve, where mostly Western people will eat turkeys and prepare for surprises on the night,
25th is Christmas, surprise and happiness come together.
31th is New Year Eve, we will stay till 12am to do the countdown, wherever we are.
1st of January is another new year with new life, maybe new problems too.
However, happy things will also come for the end, and because that for the next few days, we need to work, or study, need to fall back into the routine of the work and life, how bored...
Will a new year casts a fear, which becomes a factor for you? For me, maybe yes...

I am celebrating my birthday, 19th of December, today, but it seems that this day is just nothing more than other ordinary day though.
Anyway, Thanks a lot for them have congratulate me about that, and hope that the wish that I cast at 12am today will be true someday...

A little thing #1
Went to Kota Kinabalu again with my parents and my relatives, and then we went for shopping, of course...
Druing that time, my family told me that there is having a lucky draw with the recipt of total of RM30 and above (for members), and then my parents asked me to put the recipt in the box for the luck.
When I going to put the receipt to the box, I noticed that there is already have someone's name has been drawn out, so lucky. I found that one of my coursemate have won the consolation prize too. Whew, so lucky...
She have won the prize, and now I am advertising for her, haha...
Congratz. (Wonder that this is really her or not.)

10 banned games - In the world...
I have found this in other websites, so I just want to know the opinion on it, from you.
[URL="http://www.gamesradar.com/gb/ps3/game/news/article.jsp?articleId=20070619165925718061&releaseId=20060314115917309058§ionId=1006"]http://www.gamesradar.com/gb/ps3/game/news/article.jsp?articleId=20070619165925718061&releaseId=20060314115917309058§ionId=1006[/URL]
10. 50 Cent: Bulletproof
Banned in: Australia
Why? The Australian censor is notoriously heavy-handed, and ranks as one of the most ban-happy boards in the world. While the Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) accepted the foul language, drug use and excessive violence in Fiddy's actually-quite-crap vanity exercise, they were turned off by the slow-motion counter-kills - specifically the ones involving knives and onscreen blood splatter. To be brutally honest, it was no great loss...
9. Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines
Banned in: Germany
Why? Germany enforces extremely strict censorship on videogames, and as such game publishers will often do a special Teutonic version to pacify the examiners. An oft-quoted example is the use of green blood, which marks the character being killed as an "alien," thus making it more acceptable. Commandos was banned on a more obvious technicality: an issue with missions that involve allied soldiers going on missions to kill Nazis, and use of the swastika.
8. Pokémon
Banned in: Saudi Arabia
Why? One of the more bizarre bannings has religious foundations - in 2001 Pokémon and all its associated spin-off games were the subject of a fatwa in Saudi Arabia, which said the games featured the Star of David, which Saudis associate with Israel and international Zionism. It was suggested the games had "possessed the minds" of Saudi children. The edict was expected to be followed rather strictly, as punishments would likely include lashings and deportation.
My Opinion
Pokemon is known as a RPG game for either kids or adults in brain teasing and just for fun, as you can see a lot of virtual creatures and some time you might want to hope that certain world exist, even the Mysterious Dungeon (which the main character, as a Pokemon and live at the world) is never mentioned about something like Zionism but puzzle solving skills and perhaps friendship values, but I heard that most of the countries in Africa and Mid Asia banned this game.
7. The Guy Game
Banned in: United States
Why? A morally reprehensible game in theory and in practice (IGN gave it 7.7), The Guy Game was a frat boy's dream that focused mostly on tits and beer with some trivia thrown in. What its makers failed to realize was that one of the cheerleaders who flashed her parts on camera during the course of the game was only 17, and thus underage. She complained and the game became illegal.
My Opinion
This game is just alike to PlayBoy and the Sims 2, just this is a bit more... violent if compared to the other games, if a open minded country like USA have banned the game, then how you think that the maturity level of this game will be, eh?
6. Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction
Banned in: South Korea
Why? Not surprisingly South Korea don't take too lightly to games that involve fictional representations of wars between themselves and their slightly mental Northern cousins. To be honest, we'd probably be the same if old Kim Jong II was breathing down our necks.
My Opinion
Never played the game, but it seems that if anything that reflects about the past history, most of the countries which have involved in it will ban it. I guess so.
5. Command and Conquer: Generals
Banned in: China
Why? This strategy game got the backs of the Chinese government up, with the Ministry Of Culture proclaiming it "smeared the image of China and the Chinese army." It also took offense that the game required players to destroy various national monuments like the Three Gorges dam.
My Opinion
As for Generals, It said that have revealed the secret of Chinese military, but in the game, China has the strongest tank (Overlord) and aircraft (Helix), with superweapon - Nuclear Strike. How it reveals the secret of Chinese military...? Just a game, how it will reveal the secret of China's military? Then... they should also ban this game - Age of Empires 3 - The Asian Dynasties.
4. Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
Banned in: Mexico
Why? Seriously pissed off one Chihuahua Governor Jose Reyes Baeza Terraces, who discovered that Ubisoft's game featured a fictional storyline in which citizens of Chihuahua fled their town and were replaced by armed insurgents. Unfortunately, Terraces exposed his painful lack of video game knowledge when he was quoted as saying, "Violent video games ... attempt to divide the good will of the residents of American and Mexican cities."
3. Reservoir Dogs
Banned in: New Zealand
Why? No great surprises here, as anything associated with Quentin Tarantino seems to attract a fair degree of controversy - not that he had anything to do with this woeful adaptation of his 1992 film debut. Amazingly, given the film's cult classic status today, the BBFC (which is responsible for the banning of Manhunt 2) initially refused to give it a video classification, and it wasn't until 1995 that UK film fans could see it outside of a movie theater. The New Zealand Office of Film and Literature Classification banned it on much the same grounds as the BBFC did, saying "the film tends to promote and support the infliction of extreme violence and extreme cruelty… for the purpose of entertainment."
2. Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure
Banned in: Australia
Why? Although style guru Marc Ecko's graffiti game was initially granted a 15 rating by the Australian OFLC, it was later banned after an appeal ruled that the game promoted an illegal act (graffiti), gave hints and tips on how to do it and rewarded the player for scribbling "I love Tracey" on public buildings and infrastructure. Clearly the Aussies don't do hip-hop.
1. Postal
Banned in: 13 countries
Why? The fact it's advertised as banned in 13 countries works in the same way that Ruggero Deodato's exploitation-film classic Cannibal Holocaust was supposedly banned in 50 countries - it's a great selling point. Unsurprisingly, it's not available in Germany and Australia, and someone tried to get it banned in the US. It's got a lot to do with the fact the minimal plot involves the lead character going on a killing spree, shooting people, innocent or not, simply because he's angry about being evicted from his house.
My Opinion
Heard that this is a really violent game among the games, and more violent if compared to Counter Strike and GTA.. even The Bully, this is what my friend told me about that and they not recommend me to try the game. Guess that is the reason.
Other banned games:
GTA San Andreas
Why? The game is known as a violent game and always come up with dirty words as you go through the gameplay. It has been said that the game is also mentioned about racial discrimination. Even so, the kids who play the game also learned to do the real trick just like the character in GTA did, Vice City is also the game, as for GTA 3, it is crazy (when you have any explosives, try to throw it to the citizen and you will know why).
.............
I wonder how they think when they have heard about these- the 10 banned games, is they really should be banned, or there is still another games that supposed to be banned?
I don't know. Quite a surprise, big surprise for me when I know that the 2 of my favorite game is considered the banned game.
Is there any of your favorite game in your list?

The Final Test of the course of mine
After a long inactive time of mine due to buzy works and some sort of... lazy, but since I have promised someone, so I will continue to do this and try my best to update it as often as I can.
This is the pictures of the 'realm' of my final test.
Yes, these two buds' are my course mates, Fiona and Lawson, and a Mr. XXXX wandering at the stairs nearby. What are they doing... perhaps are taking self portrait.
Maybe it is fun, since I admit that I rarely take photos of myself, even self portrait.
Next... The exam arena. This is the exam arena for my last 'nuts' paper, whoa, a lot people... nope, this is another course's final test, it seems that it is quite full, and even the stage, is also the course as well. My course... is at the opposite side.
Sigh, kind of humiliating. After an hour, almost of the students, include me has left the arena. With a total number of around 400 students in beginning, but 100 of them probably resigned because of the midterm or they failed the midterm that drops their morale to continue the course, and only around 250 students arrive for this final exam of this 'nuts' course...
100 Objective questions. Really nut, eh.
I hate philosophy.
