ESWC 2008 Malaysia

Going to sidetrack on the Ripple Effect Series, as for the last 3 days, I've been attending the ESWC (Electronic Sports World Cup) 2008 of Malaysia in 1 Utama near the Oval.



Games such as Warcraft III, The Frozen Throne (TFT), DotA (Defense of the Ancients) and Counter Strike (CS) were held there. Sadly, for the spectators, it's a whole lot of standing up with your legs in order to get a decent view of the players gaming.



Numerous occasions, cameras was pointed at me and so I assume that my face would appears somewhere in the media. In fact, they interviewed me on my opinion about the entire event. Mostly positive remarks, only one negative remark which they would most probably erase/crop off from the interview video.

"Actually, about the tables where the gamers are gaming. I mean, look at it, it's not leveled compared to neighbouring table. It would be hard for him to move his mouse. (I showed it with my hand gesture that it's hard to move around)"

The cameraman looked at me, and suddenly he actually move the camera's view to wherever I pointed earlier. That was really unexpected.

Through it all, it was really worth the 3 days trip there.

1. Picked a few good stuffs as in interesting tactics and skills from good matches played.
2. Able to know the current level of Malaysia's best. Or at least according to ESWC.
3. FREEBIES.



3 Webcams (not all are shown at the picture) which me, Li Her(my gf) and Gary got.
1 Digital Cam which noob Jin Min doesn't want and gave it to me.
1 MP3 which Gary found on the floor.(And mind you, it's brand new. Still in the package)
1 Warcraft III BattleChest for answering a freebie giving out session. (ORIGINAL SOFTWARE FTW)

That would make a total worth of around .. Almost RM300 I'd say.

Oh, and KS (KingSurf) defended their reigning title of Malaysia's No.1 DotA clan. Personal congratulations to them. They'll be representing Malaysia for the Grand Finals in San Jose, California, USA in August. All the best!

Thanks for your time and stay tune for the Ripple Effect Series.


God bless, cheers.

Petrol Hike

A sudden leap from RM1.90 to RM2.70 (not accurate).

And by August, it would be RM4.00. That would approximately cost a Proton Wira owner to pay RM150 to pump full tank of fuel.

Speculations were made.

Some say that this is how politicians get back at the public. Some say it would be the inefficiency of the Government.

Some say this would do good in the bigger picture.

It would always be an undeniable fact that petrol, would eventually deplete. It is utterly inevitable.

It is also undeniable that Malaysians generally have a high tendency in taking things for granted. In this case, it is petroleum.

Enough for the introduction, time for the main issues.

1.Transportation is universal. It has a vicious chain reaction to everything.

2.Cost of living has increased, it's either you save more or earn more.

3.It is predicted that traffic would decrease tremendously by August.

4.Owners of the petroleum business would have to channel their capital to other industries.

5.People would travel less, which includes air flights.

6.The Government claims to set the subsidy on other sectors. Let's hope it would be a wise move.

7.Last highlight, it's a great wake up call, from God Himself.

Earlier today, I was conversing with my cousin's boyfriend. He's a car enthusiast. And true enough, the passion remains burning to continue investing into his interest. Individuals like him, gets it the most when events like this occurs. The car industry will never be the same.

I do agree with what my friend mentioned. We need to churn income from other nations. We need to continue encourage the mindset of "Earn more, spend more" and not "Save more, spend less".

Oh and yes, perhaps the bicycle industry here might actually have a great pool of business.



Ean, let's open a business to Zheng their bicycles eh?


Thanks for your time.

God bless, cheers.

General Election 2008

A personal congratulations from darylization.blogspot to all 3 parties : PKR (Parti Keadilan Rakyat), DAP (Democratic Action Party) and PAS (Parti Islam SeMalaysia) for a tough fight and managed to cover 80 seats and 5 states of Malaysia.

May the parties deliver, making Malaysia a better place to live in.

Thanks for your time.

God bless, cheers.

The Awakening.

Happy new year to all!























A fresh year for a fresh beginning.

The show has only begun.

2008

Let's get down to real business . .

And so, it begins.

The preparation for the big showdown at 2008 must begin now to avoid detrimental effects.

However, to ensure the intended message to be conveyed to the large scope of audience, I must organize this properly.

Firstly, I'm currently building up an organization, or more accurately, a business organization. The name of the organization - ExO (Extraordinaries).

Each member in the organization has unique abilities, specialized in their fields to contribute to the business. After all, the main point of building this organization is to leverage on each other's strength instead of trying to do everything on my own.

Yet, one of the main criteria of being an ExO, is to be an ExO with an attitude. All efforts would be futile if the organization cannot work along efficiently.

Another criteria is that the ExO must be fluent in English. Communication is vital during business meetings.

And of course, without a business mind, there's no point considering this invitation.

Right now, my mini-yet-growing-organization is working on small projects such as R&D and the organization's logo.

Any inquiries are welcomed.

College life is catching up on me.

Assignments and exams are becoming more and more demanding on my tight schedule.

The folks at college are still roughly the same. Isolation is really getting familiar with me.

At the same time, I'm looking out for opportunities to fix my finance aspect. Of course, I'm thankful that God has been really merciful to me. I also believe He would bless me with opportunities if it is part of His plan.

Still working on my spiritual side as well. Every night before I close my eyes, I would softly whisper to God's ears, praying for to remain focused on Him and not lose sight.

I apologize for the absence of images in the post. It just occurred to me that there's no necessity for posting any images.

Coming up next, "Updates on the progress . . / How to survive in College?"

Thank you for your support and time,

God bless, cheers.
