No regrets.

So yesterday, I decided not to update about the result of the Left 4 Dead competition to simply play Dawn of War 2. I'll just do it now.

My team got 3rd place, which gave us RM400, Rm100 each, and a Portal retail pack, which all of us already have with the purchase of The Orange Box.

I have to admit, the result this time around is rather disappointing, as my team finished a campaign in an hour and 17 minutes, which we could usually have done it in an hour at most.

What's even more surprising was, a last-minute team (my friends too) cleared the game in 47 minutes, and another team of strangers did it in 41 minutes, which I find very surprising. We thought that 47 minutes was already more than enough to give them first place.

What really messed up my team was poor coordination, and friendly fire damage. I should have gathered the team for more practice session. Ah well, 3rd place is good enough for me, the RM100 is already more than half the price of the upcoming Tom Clancy's EndWar, which releases 25th February according to Steam.

According to the organizers, they will be making more competitions in the next few months, and gather the best teams for a grand finals somewhere around August, which I find very exciting.

My team has done their best, even I messed up every now and then, so I guess I am mostly at fault for not being able to lead my team to victory. We'll reclaim our throne next time. You guys are the best ;]

For now, lets do our best at the upcoming Team Fortress 2 competition this coming saturday, 28th February/

Target locked on

Tomorrow will be another competition of Left 4 Dead, this time, up to RM1000 is up for grabs. I feel anxious, nervous, but yet competitive and confident.

It will be at Blitzone Cyber Cafe at Bandar Baru Sri Petaling this time, since I don't know how to drive there, I just gotta take public transportation =/

Bought Dawn of War 2 today, a little more expensive than I thought, but it will be worth it. Whoever is interested in buying Razer equipment at pcfair this April, I have a 5% discount card that came with Dawn of War 2.

Still no news of Tom Clancy's End War, but it will definitely be coming. Pre-orders are already running at Steam and Gamestop. Hopefully it wont take too long for a retail pack, as it launches 25th February.

Gotta sleep earlier tonight, and prepare for my big shot at prize money tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Happy Valentines Day!

It's Valentines Day, to all of you happy couples out there, enjoy this day, which happen to fall on a weekend. To the rest, well, another year of being single (like me).

Alex Hooi, well, I am at home as I'm writing this, so you lost. Good day.

Nothing much has happened recently. The upcoming weeks though there will be stuff happening.

Oh, I will be going out to celebrate my old high school mate's birthday at Red Box Plus, Pavilion KL. Singing? It's totally my thing, I just hope at least some of them knows Taylor Swift, as it will be awkward singing her song alone, while the rest does nothing but watch.

Two gaming competitions, held both in Blitzone cyber cafe, located in Damansara Jaya and Bandar Baru Sri Petaling. I will be participating in both Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress 2 competitions, and will be aiming for the champion title once again.

Securing my spot on the champion's seat will net me quite an amount of cash, securing my own copy of Dawn of War 2, and a little extra for Tom Clancy's End War.

Speaking of which, where did my Left 4 Dead themed casing go? It went missing right after chinese new year cleaning.

Taylor Swift : White Horse music video premieres

Yeah, the music video for Taylor Swift's second single, White Horse, off her second album, Fearless, premiered today. I've been waiting for so long and I can finally watch it. It's so different than what I expected, but it's very amazing. Here it is:



Watch it in high quality with the handy little button at the lower right corner =)

Lyrics can be found here.

My review here, password is "review"

Click

The first time I watched the video, I nearly _____, and I still feel the emotions every time I watch this video.

For the first time, I am not afraid to say this: I love Taylor Swift!

The video might be removed due to copyright, so if it does, do tell me and I will find a replacement. Taylor Swift <3

"Do you love me?"
"Yeah"
"Can you give me another chance?"
"No.."

Freedom, for now.

Ah, finally my examinations for my 5th semester is finished. So relieved, as the next semester will be my last for Diploma, and probably will be the most tiring, but yet enjoyable one.

Valentines is near, and I have nowhere to go and nothing to do. *Hint hint*

Less than a month away from the release of Tom Clancy's EndWar for Windows.

My favorite artist is still Taylor Swift ;D

I want a new phone! W910 is my target ;]

Should I get a proper gaming mousepad?

Nothing else to talk about, maybe I'll start ending my posts with some catchphrases from now on. Meanwhile, enjoy this great live performance by Taylor Swift, the song is White Horse =D



I love this song so much, maybe because I can relate to it. Thinking about making my own rendition of it, but don't expect to see me singing it and making a video from that.
