Maple Story FTW!




LOL! This is my term 3 post 6.
This post is dedicated to those who play mousehunt, maplestory, wolfteam, counterstrike, halo, chaos faction, pokemon, dota?(OK! this few games would be enough to include everyone except for those muggers xD)
What is the point of playing games? Well, i dont know but when i am bored, the first thing i think of is to play games. So what is computer games? A game that is played on computer. Then what does game means. Game is a tool that would arouse one's happiness and is usually undertaken for enjoyment. However, does computer games nowaday make us enjoy it? For example, what is the point of catching mouse in mousehunt? What is the point of level 200 in maple? What is the poin of a kill death ratio of 5.86 in wolfteam? What is the point of killing those aliens in halo? what is the point of destorying you keboard when you lose in counterstrike(crazy german kid)? what is the point of unlocking raging brain character in chaos faction? And what is the point of catching a latios in pokemon? What is the point of me owning sabstien 5:0 in dota? WHAT IS THE POINT? Do you see what i mean? Why do teenagers nowadays play computer games, whats so fun about it? Is it because one is realy childish ? is it because one is seriously very bored and boh liao? Or is it because of peer pressure.
I feel that it is because of peer pressure. For example. Your friend caught a mobster mouse in mousehunt and you want to compete with him thus you will play mousehunt. Your friend is lv 100 in maple but you are only lv 1 thus you will play maplestory. Your friend caught a raquaza in pokemon but you only have a pikachu thats why you will play pokemon. I experienced this feeling in primary school where all my friends talk about maple story in school and i am the odd one out. Thus i begged my mother to let me download maplestory on my computer and she finally agreed. When everyone stopped playing, i stopped too. When i am in 1O2, people would come to boast:" woaH! i got a leprechaun seh! " i would sound my horn in mousehunt everyday to get it and even spent money on the game . However, i felt that it is not worth it. Currently, i started playing maplestory again because exam is over and the rest of the games i play until sian aready xD. I am currently a lv 23 evan with pure int stats and my name is Dungeondrago. Feel free to add me xD

TERM 3 POST 6 HOLY TORCH!


Wednesday morning, massive traffic jam outside hwa chong. It was darn frustrating sitting in your car and watching those "snails" infront of you. I left school at about 6.30, my mother fetched me to school and by right i will not be late. I muttered, 1 demerit point nia, no big deal but in my heart, i did not want ot get the demerit point as it will bring my clean record. At the corner of my eye, i saw a chubby, short figure running at the side of the road. RUIYU! I shrieked and carried my bag and told my mom to stop beside the road. Ruiyu and i then ran to school. When i reached, i realised it is the youth olympic torch thing. I sighed a sigh of relieve as i did not recieve any demerit point as the PE teacher beside the gate did not stop us. We found the class and settled down and later found out that a lot of students arrived quite late. We waited and waited. We listened to Bennet's sick jokes, yuding's insulting phrases, sabastien's love story, kenneth's mugging marathon, Andy 's whoops, my wolfteam skills, garreth's girl friend's nickname, Zheyi's randoming, derrick's niaoing and even mr balan's history analysis. We waited and waited and finally, the torch bearer is here! Everyone started cheering! It is not some well build-up man who ran gloriously with the nice torch but instead an old man who have a silly grin and on his face carrying a lamp! I felt so disappointed. We could have played soccer because the morning perious is PE and i felt that 1 hr 30 minutes are totall wasted as there are nothing but preparation for an old man carrying a lamp? I felt that we are kind of cheated as few people in the class feel very proud of Singpore for hosting the YOG. I personally feels that the YOG is not as important as the Olympic Games, nor as exciting as the fifa world cup thus not so enthusiastic about it. But one thing i am sure it helped, it saved me from 1 DEMERIT POINT! xD

term 3 post 5~~ whose your champion XD



Woots. Finally posting again this time, its about champions? Bennett? no. Its spain! Hell yea! I will be posting my 5 th post on spain vs the netherlands.
The school is VERY understanding to let us start 1 hour later and end 1 hour later compared to RI who does not need to go to school because of the FIFA championship. Alot of students did not stay up and watch, mainly those muggers or guai kia. I supported fernando torres so decided to watch the match. 2.30 sharp, i woke up and turned on my television. channel 5. I must admit that one should skip until the extra time if one only want to watch the exciting part. However, the first and second half have a lot of build up tension.there was a lot of opportunities for netherlands. First was around the start of the first half when robben suddenly rammed the ball but was blocked by cassilas. Second one was when one of the holand players pumped the ball form around midfill, casillas jumped to get the ball but it was too high.However, the direction of the ball was slightly slanted and thus misssed the goal by inches. In two cases, robben was 1 on one cassilas but he was i think too nervous. FIrst , when he shoot, cassilas lept across using his feet to sipe the ball away. second one, the ball was saved when cassilass made a dive for it.

Spain have no particular nice performance during the first half and second half but instead, they build up there strength and endruance till the extra time when their build up "strength" was suddenly released and their pace increased rapidly. Fernando torres crossed the ball to the middle who passed to iniesta. iniesta stopped the ball and kicked and it was a goal! One netherland player argued it was a offside but in actual fact it was an onside. One Netherland player even throw the ball at the referee but was red-carded.

It was well fought match and i felt proud for Spain as they endured until the last and did not give up.
