How random!

I was studying Bio for tomorrow when I suddenly came across this:


Abigail and I were bored, obviously. =.=

Now you can see what Cik Faridah's favourite two brats talk about when she's talking about the knee-jerk reflex:

Zzz...

Text Book SUX!
4 some reason 2day ur eyes look HUGE
like puppy dog eyes

WHAAAT!

Cute wat

anime meh?

Now stick out your tongue and go "HAHAHA"


Omg, HAHAHAHA!
That is SO related to Biology!

No wonder Cik Faridah hates us la.
XD

Btw, my puppy-dog eyes are cute?
Your head la!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

Still cute?
LMAO!

That is called photoshop overkill. @.@
Well actually it was gaussian blur overdose that's all.
And there ya go, nightmares for a week. =x Phwoar!

Either way, for all those who have yet to experience the real thing, REAL puppy-dog eyes look like this:


AWWWWW I LOVE MY TWINKIE PIE!


AWWWWW I LOVE MY BEARYPIE!


XD

Lucky doesn't count as a puppy.

Boys too, I believe.
Ala, so random.
Bored of Bio d.

After a one-year plus hiatus

After a year, I return to play Neopets once again...and the Neopians have YET to change.
o_o
They still make pretty pointless public announcements.


They are still obnoxious.


Oh come on, this little bastard is just TRYING to pick a fight with me.
Obviously I meant the birthday of the account right?

-slaps stupid little 10-year-old boy-
Freaking smart aleck!

But nevermind! I, your basic kindred spirit will fight all these horrible qualities exhibited by these idiots with a pinch of kindness! =P


Me = dogzwhiz, obviously.
You can tell by the signature. XD

The Secret Laboratory Map is a pretty coveted item.
Once you own all 9 pieces, you unlock the Secret Laboratory Ray and this enables you to zap your pet once a day.
Zapping your pet may change it's stats or more intriguingly, it's appearance. =)

So, yeah, free possible makeover for your pet everyday! =D
I ended up giving away 6 pieces, which burnt a 200, 000 np hole in pocket. x.x

But was it worth it?

*grins*
I guess. XD

However, Neopians are still as paranoid as ever.


OH COME ON! Here I am trying to spread some love around, and THIS is what I get?

You are going to get suspended for this. =(


Oh shuddup you moron!
For one, I am not violating ANY of the stringent rules The Neopets Team (TNT) has imposed upon chatters. Get your rules right.

For another, I'm doing a good thing, right?
There is absolutely no reason for anyone to report my thread.

Unfortunately, the last time I played Neopets - there ARE people who DO report people like me. All because they didn't get any of the free stuff.
Sore losers, no? -.-''

Suckahs.
But whatever.
Smacked Ah Lam right back.


And then I gave her a Secret Laboratory Map piece too. =)
And others scolded her for his 'cheek' - he asked for a piece too, right after saying that.
Hahaha.
And she was pretty shocked that I didn't care if my account got suspended/frozen either.

All I can say is, some people treat their Neopets account as their second life.
If they get frozen/suspended, they throw fits/cry/create threads moaning about their misfortune to gain sympathy.

I know.
Cause I used to be pretty paranoid too. =x
But not THAT severely paranoid la. Cause I know the rules well, and I don't cross any lines.

But whatever, Neopets means almost nothing to me now.
I have found the light.

DOTA!

AHAHAHAHA! =D

XD I know there are lotsa people out there who would kill - ok fine, PAY - to have my account.

Let's see, I have:

- 3 limited edition pets

- 3 painted pets

- Full Secret Lab Map, now worth about 900k

- About 250k in stocks

- 2 million neopoints (np) in cash

- 1885 different items in my Safety Deposit Box - worth tens of thousands of np

- 233 secret avatars (each has to be unlocked in a different way - OMG I have 233, I must have a really bored teenager XD)

- 6 sidebar themes (also have to be unlocked)

- A gallery of ice-themed items worth a couple hundred thousand np

Yes, I have an account people would pay cash to have.
I'm serious, people who pay to upgrade their account actually exist.
Neopets premium - the biggest sham on Earth, charges you every month for measly extra services and boasting rights:

"I'm a Neopets PREMIUM user! Noobs!"

Lol.
And boasting about my account like this would probably elicit cries of:

OMG YOU'RE Soooo GONNA GET HACKED!


Hacked my arse.
As if Neopet security is so easy to get through.
If someone 'hacked' into an account, the user was probably stupid and accidentally let some personal information slip - account password/PIN/email password etc.

Sheesh. These people are so childish.

Speaking of greed: This just in.



Gosh.
I just gave away nearly 10% of my money accumulated in nearly 6 years, and these people don't even have the decency to be polite and ask me on my thread.

Wow.
Mailing me privately and clogging up my inbox is gonna do you many favours. =x
I'm too lazy to respond to neomails personally lah.
Suckah! I ain't giving you anything.

Rule #1 in neopets:
You can buy people over to your side with free stuff.

Rule #2 in neopets:
You can buy attention by offering free stuff.

People siding with you + attention = power

Therefore, Money = power

I have money and with that comes power. =)

I miss playing Neopets.

Now let's see how many hearts I can win over with my 2mill neopoint fortune. ^^

Best of all is this one la!
I came out from the exam hall after Paper 2, and found this lying next to my schoolbag.

Cool leh?
JL's thinking of me~

Until Sui-sui pointed out that JL wrote 'Stephanie' and drew an arrow that points toward 'it.'

ALA!

Omg la Fish, spoil the moment, won't you?

"I found Stephanie helpful so I hope it helps you too! WAHAHAHA! LOL Stephanie is very helpful!"

=3

...o_O The English geeeek could only come up with that?
Lame! XD

Btw, thanks loads ya JL! ^^

***

We did a multifrontal assault on Yi Ling today!

Sui was discussing plans after SPM - how we should go stay at Ling's place, then B's, then mine.

She thought Ling's place was near mine, so I was like:

"No la! Her house is in the middle of the jungle la!"

"Ah. Okay..."

"I mean, you can tell where she comes from - just see la!"

*gestures in general direction of the hair*

"...!!!"

"Yeah hor...looks like Tarzan!"

"LOL! Not even Jane? That bad meh? Sampai doesn't even look like a girl?"

"Ahahaha... Eh cannot! ...Tarzan got straight hair la!"

"HAHAHAHA! Fine la, then Jane?"

"Cannot! Jane is very slim..."

"Omg, you guys ah...hahahaha!"

"...then we'll say cannot swing on vine..."

"HAHAHA! B! Don't!"

"...the vine will break!"

And then B and I collapsed laughing. XD
Sui had already moved on to another subject, and Ling was just going:

"Wtf? I don't understand la! Ceh!"

This whole conversation happened in less than 20 seconds.
Poor Ling couldn't even keep up!
OWNED.

Sui, B and I make such a great mental assault team. =)
That's right, gun them down so fast they don't even know what hit them. XD

Ok ok la, I teach you how to DotA, don't angry la okayyyy?

Nearly there!

Bye-bye Physics, hello Chem!

Physics was fine.
I think I did even better than I did in school exams, despite a few blur moments.
Should be A la, if not A1 also guaranteed A2.
If not must send for remarking, haha.

Tomorrow is Chem.
I'm so scared I'll screw this paper up, Chem being the only subject taught in English that I've failed more than once.

Well, the only one I've failed, actually.
= =

Sejarah doesn't count, and my BM is better than my Chem, even.

Sigh.
Hope I can do well, maybe A2 for Chem?
If not B3 also can.
As long as not B4.

After Chem = PARTAY!

Moral doesn't count as a subject.
Bio is next Monday, so I don't really care either, haha.
I wouldn't say A1 for Bio is confirmed, even though I've gotten nothing but A1s throughout the schoolyear.

I still feel surprised that my clueless babbling can turn out to be 70+ %

-.-''
Kind of stupid, really.

That just shows what kind of student I am - knows nada about anything and can only write down bullshit, albeit rather eloquent bullshit. ;D

As long as it works. =/

Ahahaha, later if you see me online, remind me to go and do some Chem ah!
Knowing myself, I'd probably go DotA instead of opening the damned reference book.

Got swapped Lanaya for the second time today.
I was in a rather bleak mood already - Streamyx was giving me hell - lagging like @#$^ and disconnecting randomly.

Especially after I just killed someone la!
When I die, then Streamyx will refuse to dc and spare me my misery by doing so.
Instead, it prolongs my pain by continuing to lag like Pentium 2 trying to run the Sims Vacation.

Anyway, I managed to kill someone with Lanaya!
I'm so shocked. =O

The last time I played Lanaya I had something like 0-4 before I gave up and hid in the forest for the whole game.

=.=
But that time got Juggernaut and Ursa on my lane la.
Forgive me.

Lol, today I actually put my Traps in the right places!
*glee*
2 got triggered in the process of killing my enemy.
Wahahaha, last time my traps tak kena anyone also.
o_o''
Noob!

Hahahaha.
See la, maybe now I'll go and learn how to play TA!

;D

But Streamyx had better buck up.
Stupid tmnet has the worst connection on Earth.
In my opinion. I don't think Jaring was this bad, even.

It has been ok for a while, but today the dreaded Lag Syndrome recurred.
Bigger and badder and meaner than ever.
Zzz.

I'm sure all of you has had problems with this?
If not lagginess, then a temperamental connection that breaks off in the middle of something important.
I can't say a single word of praise about TmNet.
They people ought to be shot.
Over and over and over again.

And then burn their broken bodies on a pyre on Dataran Merdeka.

After that, maybe I can forgive them for failing me at many a crucial moment.




Maybe la.

Exhausted la

Today was the worst paper in history. = =

CAN FAIL LA WEI!

...
Okla.

Takkan sampai gagal - passing mark is only 5 marks, but the paper totally sucked.
Add maths is one of my four problem subjects, besides BM and Sejarah which are already over and I didn't have much of a problem with; Chemistry is on Thursday. = =

If you know me pretty well, you'd know that I have this slight thing with Add Maths that makes me suffocated whenever I get stuck.

It's not really nervousness.
It's more like resentment.

Mostly at myself for being so stupid.
If others can do it, why the hell can't I?

Paper one was so-so.
I felt it was fine, until I discovered that I made a number of mistakes that could have been avoided.

The beginning of Paper two was also okay... I finished Questions 1 and 2 pretty fast.

I got stuck at the 3rd question.
I skipped and went to the 4th.
Couldn't do that either.
Skipped to the 5th, and that was when panic started to set in.

My mind just went blank. I KNEW I've read thsis the night before, I MADE SURE that I did, cause I knew it would come out.

But it was as if there was someone telling me that I'm gonna fail anyway, why bother?
Brain freeze.

I saw questions that I knew I could do, if I thought it through long enough, but there just wasn't enough time to dwell on a single question, so I skipped it; maybe I'd come back to it later.

But there wasn't time. -.-''

I have a really bad feeling about this paper.

The only comfort was Suisui coming over when the exam ended proclaiming:

"This is the hardest paper ever! *sigh*"

So ok la.
If SHE finds it hard, Miss-Guaranteed-A1 for Add Maths...I think I should stand a chance la.

This is after taking into account the 50 percent or so of students who suck worse than I do. ._.''And Suisui sounded quite upset over the paper also.

Lol, we had questions that BOTh of us couldn't do - when region R is rotated around the x-axis...I get pi x ZERO cm squared?

*speechless*

Feeling drained of all energy and happiness, I went home, turned on the comp and sat down for a game of DotA to cheer me up.

Mistake.

I played with my friend's clan - something I don't like to do.

I hate playing with clans cause they seem so close-knit and know each other's strength and weaknesses; I only feel like I'm intruding upon some sorta team-spirit vibe. -.-

I randomed Bloodseeker and I thought:

Fine. I've played this guy once before. I think I can manage.

Mistake.

First blood.

Me~ first blood.
Omg la. I've never been first blood for a long time - why now?

After that, memang sudah tiada semangat main.

...

I just wandered around the map disspiritedly, hoping for a noob to come along and feed me.
No chance la.

My team also annoyed me somewhat. We just didn't click.

Twice, in a 2v1 situation, we chased the enemy past two towers - with me tanking, duh.
And my teammate takes the kill.

...fair enough, both of us did roughly equal amounts of damage to the enemy.

BUT.
Bloodseeker should ALWAYS be given the kill* if he were tanking towers all the way for the kill, which I was, so that he can regen.
*see bottom of post for details


But no, he happily killed him and ran off, leaving my red-lifed ass to be pawned by a vengeful enemy.

...

Group fights? Also no go.
I come, venture in to take a few swipes, get owned by Morphling, so I back off.
And that apparently is called 'running away and not helping.'

Sure, I can hang around.
And die.
You like?

More group fights.
I run in, whack one enemy half to death.
I rupture him and move in for the kill - only to have my kill taken by someone else.

Yes, yes...it's a group fight, no one is ks-ing anyone.

But without my kill, I cannot regenerate my hp ok?
They should really try to be more considerate and let BS have his kill in a fight.
So anyway, my target died at another's hands, and I limped away with 45 hp.

...

And then they accuse me of not helping.

Dots.

Anyway, after being reprimanded for the second time of being 'cowardly,' I just lost all interest in playing.

And I started feeding.

I don't know la.
Normally I wouldn't do such a thing, however unintentional, but today was and exception.
I just felt fed up with it all.
._.''

My score sucked: 7 kills + 1 aegis kill - 9 deaths.

I guess everyone was annoyed at me for not owning, being the 'only' late game hero around. Apparently, to them NAIX is 'not really' a late game hero after the remake.

Yes la, he was using the new Naix for the first time, can be forgiven.
Hello? Your Strygwyr also considered first-timer leh.

The only games I've ever played with BS lasted maybe 10 minutes before a remake; the only full game I played with BS was with a feeding Rikimaru on the opposing team, so the ownage then didn't count.

Zz, another ownage hero screwed up.

By the way, the clan leader scolded me for not levelling up Bloodrage, after letting Morphling flee using a TP (Scroll of Town Portal.)

I didn't bother to tell him that Bloodrage doesn't silence item spells.
I just said: "Later."

That's how fed up I was.

Up bloodrage for what? Tell me what use is it going to do against a permastunning Troll, fully Agi-fied Morphling and a Vengeful + Tide combo?

I silence them, no point - they are DPS, increase their bloody damage for what?
I silence myself also no use - I hadn't farmed much damage yet, so there wasn't much to boost anyway, plus the hp loss, however minor, won't help my 1.6k hp at all. = =

Besides, with so many stunners and nukers, I needed the hp to survive before I can even hang around to deal damage.

Hence picking stat points over spell points.
Sigh.

I just feel so tired la.
Don't feel like playing until after Chem paper. =.= See first la, I'll go read a bit of Physics, take a shower, and if some people I can get along with come online, I'll play.
Otherwise, I'm just gonna sit around and mope.

...
Haha, how pathetic does that sound?

*For Ling:

Strygwyr, also known as the Bloodseeker, is an Agility hero.
One of his trademark skills is to regenerate a percentage of the enemy's hp after you kill him.

Let's say 2000 hp Strygwyr is fighting a 4000 hp Centaur Warchief.
Styrgwyr kills Centaur and he will automatically regenerates 40% of Centaur's max hp.

4000 x 40% = 1600hp

So there you go!
You fight until you have about 100 hp left, then you magically regenerate 1600 hp after the kill, leaving you free and nearly full-lifed (1700/2000 hp) to pawn another enemy.

That's normally how it goes with Bloodseeker, but if someone takes the last hit, Strygwyr cannot regenerate his life, and therefore he has to flee with the 100 remaining hp that he has.

Which is exactly what happened just now.
Faham?

***

My aunt just called.

"So how was the exam?"
"...ok la. Very hard."
"Aiyo, why didn't you put in more of your effort? You must put in more effort la!"
"..."

Touche.

Really, I do.
This morning at 10.30 am:

"Arief! Let's playyy ;D"

Sunday, November 18, 2007

This is Malaysia.

What did I expect?

At 8 pm, I told myself:

One game, then I'll go study Chem.
I promise!
Well, one FULL game anyway.


And here I am, at midnight, finishing my first COMPLETE game.

-.-''

So many leavers.

On my team.
On the opposing team.

Overabundance of laggers.
Sore hosts who leave when they die.
Streamyx making me lag out somehow. -.-

Anyway, I've just finished such an intense game I'm still feeling that DotA high. =x
DotA is my drug.

Because this is yet another DotA post, I'm going to make it Yi Ling-friendly again.
=P
So she can learn some basic stuff before I really teach her how to play after SPM.

I was playing Balanar again.

And until I was lvl 16, I still had NOT gotten a single kill.
How pathetic is that? -.-

I died once, instead.
Well, to be fair, I was saving a friend, but failed to escape.
Got stunned by Crixalis, and Techies suicided in my face.

It was partly my fault though, I insisted on taking a solo lane, and I let my solo enemy farm well.

Farm:

Earning gold and exp.

When the first night arrived, I couldn't kill anyone.
-.-

They were very alert and sticked stuck (thanks Den ._.'') together, and the moment I vanished from my lane, they retreated into hiding. It did NOT help that THREE of them were stunners (na, sk, vs.)

One was Techies, which I couldn't go near, as I hadn't upped my Fear yet - he'd just suicide and kill both of us.

Techies:

Hero with a suicide spell. Casting the spell kills himself and gravely damages anyone close to him at the time of the suicide.

Silence:

A spell. When cast, it makes a hero unable to cast any spells for a fixed period of time. Hero can still attack regularly, however.

Fear:


Crippling Fear. One of Balanar's spells.
Silences the enemy and makes the enemy miss on most of his regular attacks.
Works only in the nighttime.

Last hero was Abaddon, who was quite unkillable due to his skills.

= =

So, there you go, I was STARVED.
Starved for cash.
Starved for exp.

It did not help whatsoever that one of my teammates left, and the other was a super feeder + noob + eventual leaver.

Feeder:

Player who is killed frequently without good reason and provides the enemy with exp and gold everytime he is killed by aforementioned enemy. Hence the term 'feeding.'

But anyway!
I farmed neutrals throughout the day, and kept wasting my ulti to save my teammate Razor.
=.=

NA had a jolly good time hunting down my tofu teammates early game.
My remaining two teammates were Razor and Weaver, who are both extrememly fragile throughout the whole game.

Razor

Weaver


Ulti:

Ultimate spell. A hero's signature spell. Usually the most powerful of the four spells, but costs more mana points and has a longer cooldown (can't be used as frequently.)

Tofu:

Fragile/Low-lifed/Has a small hitpoint pool

NA:

Nerubian Assassin, a hero. Known for turning invisible and backstabbing. Has a stun.

So anyway, I kept wasting my ulti to help save Razor from NA - so instead of hunting and killing with my precious nighttime, I was busy saving people's ass.

Sigh.

Balanar's ulti:

Turns day into night for an amount of time so that he can thrive. Night Stalker, remember?

Sien.
Anyway, we resorted to backdooring, but still lost the game.
Hahahaha!

And before you pass judgment, backdooring was allowed in that situation as we were:

- one player short
-it was past 60 minutes already, which are the basic conditions for backdooring.

Backdooring:

Attacking a tower in the enemy's base without any allied creeps/summons present. Under normal circumstances, it is considered highly unethical and a form of cheating. However, this depends on the rules of the individual league/server. The conditions to allow backdooring may vary.

Creeps:

Creeps are units generated every 30 seconds (known as one wave) by each team for each of the three lanes. Creeps meet halfway and fight each other. Heroes kill creeps to gain money and exp.

My teammates were pushing, and I was home because my hp was low.
And out of nowhere, NA came and pushed until all our towers and rax were down.

!!!

So our poor throne was left naked and unprotected.
Thank God I was home.
My teammates just died.
I was the only left alive, and I managed to chase NA away - I almost died as well though.
So gan cheong!

Our poor tree was almost dead!
500+ hp left only!

Normally by this time, most people would be:

Oh God, just let them finish it. We're gonna lose anyway. -.-''

But our host refused to give up.
We can do this! We can win!


So we fought back hard.

Razor defended the naked tree.
Weaver was in charge of backdooring.
I killed anyone who came near our base.

Tower:

Buildings that attack any enemy unit that comes close to it. Can only attack one unit at a time.

Throne:

The Frozen Throne.

The World Tree.
(Ok ok, so they remade the Tree. Just add some leaves, fireflies and lanterns hanging off some branches and it'll look exactly like this.)


The aim of the game is to kill the enemy's throne.
The first team to achieve this wins instantly.
The two thrones are known as the World Tree for the Sentinel team, and the Frozen Throne for the Scourge team.
The throne cannot defend itself, meaning it does not attack. However, it is protected by two towers that must be destroyed before the throne is vulnerable to attack.

Rax:

Barracks. Non-attacking buildings that generate creeps. When destroyed, the enemy creep wave becomes stronger (more hitpoints, and more damage.)

Our Weaver did a good job of backdooring.
He destroyed all the towers and rax of the middle lane until THEIR throne was naked as well.

Neck-and-neck man!

We decided to ALL go together and end the game ASAP.

I reached halfway to the enemy's base when I realised:

"ZZZ! LOA'S IN OUR BASE!"

LOA:


Lord of Avernus, also known as Abaddon, a hero with mainly defensive skills.

Immediately I teleported back and disposed of him.
I can't believe I beat Abaddon.
-.-

Abaddon's ulti:

Makes him invulnerable for 5 seconds.
Meaning I can attack him all I like for 5 seconds, and he won't take ANY damage at ALL.
Meanwhile, he is still attacking me and I DO take damage.

But by this time, out tree had a measly 120 hp left.
= =

In other words, ONE whack from a creep would put it out of it's misery.
SO TENSE MAN!

In the end, my team decided to let Razor defend, and Weaver and I will backdoor and end it.

Weaver said he'll distract the enemy while I finish it.
So fwee!
Balanar sprinted to the enemy's base full of determination to win the game!

...only to be met with a snarling Crixalis and Techies guarding the Throne.

SWT!

I was carrying a gem, and I could see the Throne completely surrounded with bombs the Techies had planted.

...

I had no choice but to retreat.
Sure, Crixalis I could deal with.
Techies? OH PLEASE. My food.

Gem:

Gem of True Sight.
An item to reveal nearby invisible units. Techies' bombs are invisible.
The gem costs 700 gold and drops when the hero carrying it is killed.
Meaning, bye-bye 700 gold when you get careless and die.

However,
Only a ranged hero could take out those bombs.

Ranged:

Attacks from a distance.
Balanar is a melee hero, meaning he attacks directly in front of you.

I could kill Crixalis and Techies, no problem.
But Techies would just blow his bombs up and kill me after that.

Or he could detonate them FIRST and leave me helpless to Crixalis' attack.

I retreated and told Weaver to get his ass here.
Meanwhile, Razor died and left our throne defenseless AGAIN.

Sighing, I teleported back and defended the tree.
Abaddon and NA were busy clearing creeps.
Razor bought out and we slaughtered Abaddon together: we ended up chasing him halfway down the middle lane.

And in this time, NA who had we THOUGHT had fled earlier, turned invisible, calmly walked back into our base and dealt the fatal blow to our poor tree.

...
So anti-climatic can?

I thought I would die defending the throne (or something equally dramatic!)
But instead, NA copied us and backdoored to win.

WHAT LA!

We were all like:

Huh?
Wtf?
LOL HAHAHAHAHA OMG GOOD ONE!

=.='

I guess that was the only way they could win, because by that time, I could solo any hero one on one. I could even take on Abaddon and NA together.

So I guess NA was smart to kill the tree while I was preoccupied with killing someone else.
-.-

But all in all, in was a great game (if you ignored the idiots who left the game.)

My teammates were super fat and were dealing monstrous amounts of damage.
I was running around with 3000+ hp and a Satanic, so I was nearly invincible at this point.
Sigh.

Fat:

Well-fed. Meaning that they have farmed and 'fed' well, and have good items, and a high level.

Satanic:

A satanic item! Muahahaha!
Basically, when activated, this item gievs you bonus damage and bonus lifesteal.

Lifesteal:

A portion of the damage you deal returned to you in the form of hitpoints.
Meaning, you heal as you whack. Works well on heroes who deal a lot of damage very quickly, ie. Balanar =D

Le sigh.
I still think we could have won, if only a little more care was taken to make sure that little sneak didn't walk in our base invisible.
= =

But good game, and that makes me happy!
I ish very content. ^^

Urgh.

So annoying!
GGClient disconnected again!

While I was in the midst of a conversation, no less.
Haha, my latest chatbuddy pickup.

This one was interesting and did design at The One Acad, and may be going for the advertising field, which is what my mom wants me to do.

Actually, I still don't know where to go - TOA, Limkokwing, Cenfad, Lasalle@S'pore or be normal and go to Taylor's like Den.

According to him, TOA is a stress farm, and I don't think I could live under constant pressure - especially not for my college year!

Cenfad isn't very well known, and 'Limcockwank' (o_o'' lol.) seems to be the home of 'rich brats who never study.'

Lasalle on the other hand...is in Singapore.
NOO.

I like Singapore as a holiday destination and all, but I don't think I could survive there for a year. Besides, as much as I dislike Malaysia, I don't think I'm ready to leave my home for a long a period of time yet.

Sigh.

Alright, no more wondering.
Just finish SPM and enjoy!
Hehehe =P

Meanwhile, I'm still annoyed at GGC at disconnecting.
But what else to do?
Zion is worse, I still don't know what Yawle is and my Blueserver lags.

And where else can I pick up these interesting dudes to chat with?
Or rather, they pick me up.

Told you girls who play DotA are still a novelty. XD

Let's see, so far I've had:

- Your typical schoolboy whom I never talked to again. (Yawn.)

- A cute and fairly normal guy with an above average level of empathy.

- And his funny nutcase friend who makes me laugh.

- A creepy guy with too much feminity for my liking.

- A S'porean fresh-outta-NS dude with a broken nose (hello if you're reading this ^^)

- Stranger from East Msia I don't know much about who calls me to play when he has nothing better to do. Not very courteous.

- A pair of Filipino brothers migrated to HK to study who nearly ALWAYS play together. Pleasant attitude. =)

- That guy who takes turns to make me angry/indifferent/sympathetic because of his AhBengness and patronising way of speaking (I wonder what makes me still bother about him ._.'')

- Aforementioned guy's friend that I upset due to MY friend's tardiness


...and a whole bunch of others that aren't really worth mentioning/I forgot.

I don't know la.
I like talking to strangers.
It's fun taking a peek into someone else's life, however minor.

It's just great seeing things from another person's their point of view without having the burden of developing a friendship over a few years and prying their opinions out of them.

People are just so much more open to strangers - maybe it's due to their evanescent quality.
One minute they're there, the next, they can be gone - if you want them to.

Just click the 'delete' button.

You guys should try it sometime.
It's fairly harmless cause you can always delete them off your list if they annoy you, and block them if they're perverts.

=x

Anyway, this newest fella seems pretty safe.
Super old - Den's age and taken, so he's not gonna hit on me, thank goodness.

I still find guys who flirt over the internet with a stranger pretty weird.

What if I were a 50-year-old paedophile with a penchant for DotA playing boys?
Lol.

Or maybe in the words of Mr 'I-Am-Boy-Therefore-I-Am', no harm can befall them just because they are not vulnerable little girls who are too naive for their own good.

XD

Btw, I do internet searches on all these people based on their GGC account number.
Oh yes, I can. =x

I can even find pictures of these strangers because of their carelessness with their personal information. Tsk tsk tsk.

But nah, don't worry about me.
^^
I'm not your naive little girl who's gonna fall prey to paedophilic stalkers.
Nope. =)

(But maybe as I type that, there's this scary old man scouring my blog archives. Who knows? o_O)

Whatever.
People will get whatever information about me that I want them to get, nothing more.
I DO take the necessary precautions to keep my personal information, personal.

...
Which is kind of pointless, because here I am making my thoughts and musings public and chronicling daily occurences for all the world to see and experience.

Oh well!

How come I've never met other random girls online who play DotA yet?
=(

It'd be nice to have a companion.

Eh wait, got la.
I met this one girl who was pretty pro.
But she was annoying- she kept bragging to everyone about her boyfriend who taught her and was even pro-er than she was.

Hello.
I didn't ask la.

Hahaha.

Eh?
Who was the first person who taught me DotA ha?
Den or Chris?
Both at the same time right?

Omg, I can't even remember whom I picked DotA up from - HOW TO SIT FOR BIO PAPER LIKE THAT?

Ah, my memory sucks.
Or to be more precise, it is rather...selective. =x

Are they scared of real people?
Just asking. =x

BJing

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

This sucks!

Or to be more specific - I SUCK ASS!

Lol.
Balanar the Night Stalker.

Even the NAME tells you he's an ownage hero.

And what do I do with him?

FEED!

= =''
I really, really suck at using strength heroes.
I just cannot tell when to engage, and when to back off.
Blah.

See Balanar with these items:

SnY
Satanic
Basher
Hyperstone
Treads (Str version)
Plate Mail

CAN STILL FEED?
OMG la!

I am appalled by my own noobness!
I tell you, if I were playing with my friend right now, he'd be so disgusted.
@.@

To be fair, I was early game food for 4 stunners.

Mirana
Earthshaker
Ursa
Ogre Magi
+ Magina to deal the finishing blow

Early game looked pretty much like this:

Come SA, it's night, let's feast!

I chiong in, whack whack.
SA blinks in, whack whack.

Raigor/Mirana appear out of nowhere, stuns ME, of course.
(Stun SA for what -.-)

Magina blinks in and whacks, voids, blink-chases. Finishing blow.

Meanwhile my teammates go: Oh well, what could WE do?

T.T

2 kills, 7 deaths

And ALL seven deaths were by Anti-mage, if I'm not mistaken.
ES stun, Mirana stun, Ursa blink stun, Magey finishes off.

What a work of art. = =
And NO I am NOT happy to be pawned by them.

They weren't very pro at all.
You could tell by the way Magina worked - he never DID calculate his Void correctly.
I escaped a few times just because his mental arithmetic sucked.

No, no pros on their team at all.
I was just super noob/vicitimized by unfortunate circumstances.
(However, their Mirana's stun was impeccable)

Oh COME ON LA!
Those are ownage items wei!

And yes, I discovered bash and maim both work, I just don't know which one overrides the other when both proc on the same blow. (Who cares? Picked up the basher from Sniper who left.)

Proof that I could've have owned with those items, but didn't:
I murdered a Late-game Ursa one-on-one.
What does that tell you?

Unfortunately that was a very rare situation where Magina was incapitated by Rikimaru.
Otherwise, they NEVER travelled alone.

Magina could have gobbled me up, proclaimed that I was delicious and burped for good measure - and I couldn't have done anything.

How to feed on them like that?
><

ZZZ.

Adding to my list of solo ownage heroes that I screwed up:

Ursa
Akasha
Yurnero
Visage
Anub'arak
Nevermore
Crixalis
Balanar

= =

Meanwhile, I'm better at using tofu heroes like Rhasta, Warlock, Ish'kafel and Puck.
Stuuuuuuuuuuuuupid la.

Apparently most of my friends started out DotA with a Strength hero, due to their easy method of playing:

- Normally only one main nuke
- Hard to die
- Just chiong in and take damage while your teammates finish them off

But then I was brought up on an unhealthy diet of Agi heroes:

- Escape spells/speed advantage
- Super damage
- Simple lie back until someone ELSE is focus-fired, then attack and pawn

See the difference in playing style?

After going OOO COOL at the Strength gain of Str heroes, (normally nearly double of Agi heroes) I just automatically assume that I'm invincible and chiong like it's the last thing I'll ever do.

...

It normally is. = =

Sigh.
Did you know the only Str hero I can actually handle is Raigor?
And that's only because I play him the way I would an Int hero. -.-''

Stun, stun, stun, serve enemies on a plate to teammates.
Swt.

LAME LA!
Okay. After SPM I'm gonna learn some Str heroes! ^^

Oh yeah, I can do Rooftrellen too.
Only if I'm left to farm in peace for the whole of early AND mid game.
Which usually means my opponents suck and my ownage isn't counted.

And Tide isn't that bad cause I use his ulti as an escape spell and let my teammates finish the enemy off.
Which is very noob of me, I know.
But better than dying right? =x

Either way, I have to learn how to handle a Str hero properly.

I will not play them like Agi heroes - hang behind and wait for someone to tank.
No one's gonna tank honey, I'M the tank. = =

I will not play them like Int heroes - spam my nukes and retreat so to not draw too much attention to myself and to wait until my spells cool down. Str heroes can't rely on their spells la. Except Raigor, which is pretty much an exception.

I feel like, going back to AI just to practise the playing style.
But Easy mode is pointless and I'm afraid I'll get owned by Insane bots.

OH THE SHAME!
O_O''
