I would like to give Frictional Game a round of applause for their invention - Amnesia : The Dark Descent.. Thank you for giving us gamers the experience to be scared : screamed like little sissy and possibly peed in our pants..
You've been warned...

Finally I have finished the final installment of the Black Mirror series.. Although the end game was rather fair as oppose to great , I enjoyed it.. (I was expecting a sword fight with the evil Mordred , but what I got was only cut scene..)
Black Mirror I
Black Mirror II
Black Mirror III
Protagonist
- Samuel Gordon , who just lost his beloved uncle, William Gordon that was allegedly committed suicide (but Samuel was convince otherwise). He also has lost his wife in a fire also in Black Mirror Castle which made him hate it.
- Darren Michael from Biddeford, Maine. A physics student in his semester break who apparently hate his part time job due to his pain in the butt boss. He later found out that he’s a Gordon. Samuel’s son to be précised..
- Adrian Gordon , the last of the Gordon who inherited the Black Mirror Castle and a huge responsibility in getting rid of Mordred evil spirit in his body. He’s on the quest to destroy what remained of the curse and also Mordred.
Puzzles
Was fairly easy and enjoyable..
Quite hard and need some times to figure them out.. Some of them may need you to look for spoilers.
Somewhat in the middle.. However if you stuck at the puzzle, the game provide you with “skip” option where the game will solve it for you without having to stuck in the game trying to solve the puzzle.
Characters
Very flat dialog expression.
Surreal and impressively improving.. I love the sarcastic Darren.. and people with secrets.
Quite a hit and miss.. It’s a shame that some characters are not really well developed.. (I want to know more about Inspector & the café girl’s affair)
Graphic & Sound
All great and detailed.
Timed Puzzle & Death Scene
If I’m not mistaken there’s only 1 timed puzzle but plenty of unexpected death scene, where you go poking around places you shouldn’t do..
Lots of timed puzzles and chasing scene where you have to outsmart the bad people..
Fairly amount of both timed puzzles and chasing scene.
Ending
Somewhat frustrating ‘coz the protagonist decided to kill himself because of the curse..
Good ‘coz the element of keeping the player hanging for answer..
Somewhat expected but I wish there’s another ending like what will happen to the last Gordon after all this is over..
Ranking
3 1/2 out of 5
4 1/2 out of 5
4 out of 5
I'm looking forward for the next game from the Black Mirror developer..
I am very proud of myself today because I did the unthinkable in my life.. Well, it may look like a small thing through anyone's eyes but for a newbie for me IT'S HUGE!
I..... have succeed wearing my first ever CONTACT LENSES! hah! :-D after 5 hit and miss , that things finally stuck upon my iris.. I chose a subtle , natural brown color but with largereyes effect.. I was rooting for grey however the preferable color is sold out.. :-( MAJOR BUMMER...
I don't know if it's normal for the first time user but that "itchy" sensation (like dust gets inside your eyes kind of feeling) is irritating.. I keep on blinking my eyes with constantworries that my contacts were not in the right position.. But my sis & my bestie ensure me that it is normal and I may need some times to get it used to..
Well , as soon as I got home , I was sooooo anxious to remove the lenses.. They have been bugging me for quite some times already that made myself begging to rip them off from my eyes.. huhuhuuu..
Nevertheless , I was proud of today's achievement.. Well done Tey! (despite that 5-tries)
I've been wanting these for a very long time.. I wish I have the money to buy them, if not all, one at a time..
For someone who knows me by heart would knew that I'm obsessed with Lord of The Rings.. This piece is the one that I'm dreaming of.. The most intricate and beautiful pieceI've ever found on sale was the one sold by the New Zealand store (click here) I already send an enquiry email to the store , asking for payment method other than credit card (yes, I'm ashamed to admit that I have no credit card..)
My first encounter with this book was back in college.. I bought the first chapter but somehow miss the second one AND , now I lost my first book.. :-( huwaaaaaaaa.. how sadis that.. I only got the last chapter of the trilogy and I'm planning on purchasing the other two.. A very light read , fun narrative , both funny and captivating ;-)
I never had a fancy gadget before.. So I wanted at modesty , an iphone 3 someday..
I went on my usual blog lurking through me friend's page - Amli who's apparently always has a brilliant post.. (To be frank, I like him more than blog serious..) When I scrolleddown the dashboard containing all Amli's latest posts, I stumbled upon one post entitled "50 people , 1 question" (read here) , I felt I had to click on that.. The video went on and I was stunned in front of my laptop with awe.. So there I was still in front of my laptop (even after the video is finished) pondering the same question.. "What is the thing in your life that you regretted the most".. Honestlyspeaking , there are A LOT of things I've regretted doing in the past.. But I have to say, if Dr. Emmett "Doc" of Back to The Future really is here , I wanted to go back to the timeswhen I was still in the middle of college dilemma back in early 2002 and rushed to my own self and said that JMTI choice was a NO-NO..
I always regard my college days were nothing more than misery and discontentment.. I was misunderstood , isolated and shunned by most of the college populations.. Although it ispainful for me to admit it , I was never the popular person in college , instead I was perceived as an awkward and often a victim of ignorant people.. It was hurtful when people ganged up on me because I was different..
I was brought up in school as a proactive student who tends to ask a lot of questions in class and enjoy engaging a conversation with my teachers.. To my surprise people in mycollege (especially the ladies) saw that as a bad thing , probably seems conceited.. I thought it was okay just to ignore them morons but when my own friend who knows mesince highschool not only turned her back against me , she's also joined in the pack, agreeing whatever the morons have to say about me , even if they weren't true..
Getting tangled by so much misery , I got myself involved with unhealthy relationship with 1 guy.. Although my family has stressed out so many times , over and over again thatthe guy was a bad news I just wouldn't listen to them.. Probably I took comfort of knowing there will be someone who would stick by my through thick or thin , even if it was notentirely genuine .. Whatever it is , I THANK GOD that I was able to get myself out from the relationship without doing myself any harm..
I still carry the painful past of my time in college days till now.. Still not fully recovered.. I try to make peace with my past by staying connected with college friends in facebook (I know it's not a good idea , but I thought it's a perfect way to face the demon of my past..) but then... they still saw me as someone they perceived almost 9 years ago........... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All I want back then was to be accepted ... :-(
Current "in-trend" that gets me from *∩_∩* to ---> ⊙ω⊙ the heck???
1. Someone who decide to buy a DSLR camera only to keep up with the trend NOT because he/she's into photography as in passion.. Okay , I know it's your money and all , but to flaunt it off when the only thing you know is to use the auto mode doesn't count you as a photographer , my friend.. And that thing - snapping your own picture while holding on the camera? Doesn't necessarily make you look cool..
2. The "doe" .. I don't know why there's a need in ending absolutely any sentence with a "doe" :
"panas gilee doe!" "henseemmmm doe~!" "Kete awek tu aku tuuuuu.. mahal doe~"
3. The "like" own status/post syndrome in facebook.. Hmm.. like.. seriously..?
4. Endless "see who looks your profile" application invites.. People , the reason I choose facebook more than friendster is that I don't want to be perceived as a "stalker" when I go poking around others profile.. (opsss.. busted..)
5. The model-wannabe who post her/his pictures gesturing sexual pose (thinking she/he looks sexy) that makes you wonder is she/he doing modeling or looking for "playboy" endorsement..
6. Angry & Hate status.. It's okay to be expressive , but no one in the world would love that negative aura projected by so many "selective" language being used in a single sentence.. And using CAPS LOCK in the whole post? It makes you look like you're screaming the entire sentence like a hysterical sissy.. Chill out!
7. Overdosing on "F" word... Use sparingly , people.. I hate to break it , but even the white people doesn't perceived the "F" word as cool.. (hence the censoring in every bad words in tv)
I just visited my dentist for some teeth cleaning last Saturday and I came back to the office to find this on my desk..
Yea.. an Easter egg my friend.. or to be precise , chocolate egg.. With 2 Easter rabbits.. huwaaaaa.. so adorable.. My boss , Dave got me when his wife came back from Scotland.. I feel really honored.. and happy!
Thanks so much Dave.. You really are the sweetest boss I've ever seen.. :-)
Moushie took one of the rabbit ........ wuuuuuuuuwuuuuuu.. While mine would be seated in a cabinet for a while... Man.. I don't have the heart to eat such adorable gift such as this!
I'm sure y'all remember that scene pretty much , rite? And I'm absolutely sure that all girls are grown up with this anime.. I mean , I do.. *∩_∩*
Back when I was still in primary school , (standard 5, 1995) I was addicted to comics and that was the first time I knew SAILORMOON.. I remember when I got my hands on the first volume of the series , I was so thrilled and said to myself this gonna be my favourite comic ever.. (after Dragon Ball and Shin Chan) My thrill to Sailormoon lead me to more severe obsession : comics (even in chinese.. and I don't read chinese..) merchandises.. and even my friends and I have our own Sailor team.. :-D
Well ,those were the days.. Now my fellow senshi are all grown up now.. Most of them have evolved to "maternity" level.. :-D My Sailorvenus even had 3 beautiful daughters.. So did Mercury and Mars.. The only senshi left are Jupiter and... ironically , Sailormoon herself.. (well , considering she's the first one to get hitched by Mamoru.. :-D) But.. Sailormoon will join in the club this June , which then left Jupiter alone... :-( Aw.... But, I would not worry much about my Jupiter.. She'll be alright.. :-)
Ya.. I know you probably wondering the heck I'm babbling about.. Actually , while I was cleaning my room today, I happen to find my old posters of Sailormoon and the sweet memories of my childhood came visiting me for a while.. I sat there in my room thinking.. how fast it is for me to grow up... It felt like yesterday when I got back home with more Sailormoon merchandises to brag to my fellow Senshi.. Hehehhee.. (I always did a Sailormoon goodies hunting and show them to the fellow friends - thought they might get jealous of it.. hehehehehe)
Now that I'm 27.. (I'm not ashamed to admit it guys..) everything's got tougher and tougher.. But, when things beyond my control , I put on my "Sailormoon" alterego and imagining myself seizing all life obstacles with my Sailormoon powers.. A little childish , I know but everybody needs a superhero in them to help save the day.. :-)
Now that my mom already "taken care" of my Sailormoon comics , I planned on getting them online.. Huhuhuu.. Probably called the ComicHouse and see if they still do the old school order..
Ice-creams??? I looooooooooveeee Ice-Creams!!!!! ≧▽≦
I love ice creams for 3 reasons :
1) Ice-creams are delicious
2) Ice-creams make me feel good..
3) Ice creams are delicious and make me feel good..
For me ice-cream has this placebo effect that instantly lift up my spirit whenever things go wrong.. So , yeah.. you can say that it's kinda like an anti depression without the drugs..
To pay tribute to my love over this cold-creamy beast.. I decided to enroll myself in this contest :
SAYA SUKA ICE-CREAM
(click to the banner to find out more)
So.. here you go.. my best pic (I think.. :-D ) in my best moment eating an ice-cream..
And for this contest I would like to tag 2 more ice-cream lovers :
A couple of days ago I was in a cd store in town browsing through bunch of pc game dvds.. Well, actually I was bored and the only place that could satisfy my dull moment that timewould be the content of that store.. And then my eyes met a plastic cover with a title : THE SIMS MEDIEVAL.. I immediately picked it up to have a quick read of the game description.. Then I take a glance at the price tag.. RM20.. okay, not bad.. But, when I opened my purse to check my money , I what's left in my purse.. RM5.00... yeahhhh... that's a MAJOR bummer..
Then I place the dvd back and walk out of the store... Not because I'm depressed or disappointed in not enough money condition or anything like that.. but because I'm afraid the urge of getting this dvd overwhelmed me which then might cause me to rush to the nearest ATM and risking myself for more deficit account.. Not gonna happen.. especially when my wedding is neaaarllllyyyyyy there (which take about less than a month now) .. Besides, I have a more efficient way in getting this game without paying a cent.. sort of..
Now with downloading part 2 still ongoing , I'm going to sloth myself with a hindi flick (shocker , I know) "Nayak".. Before you're going Eeeee-jiwangnyeee-tgk-hindiiiiiiiii on me,lemme tell you that this one really worth watching.. I love how the movie challenge the typical hindi flicks and insert a brilliant current issues in it .. Moreover , I just can't pass that exaggerating matrix-like fighting scene a hindi/tamil movies tends to offer.. :-D
Now, lets put aside of that "x main aaaaaa cite hindi" and go watch this one.. trust me.. it's a good one..
