F.Y.I ...

I HATE YU ZHENG!

To combine or not to combine

I currently have different blogs for different purposes but there are times when the purposes will merge and hence the confusion. I have a food blog (Sik Bao Lor), a reviews blog (Reviews Database), a blog about my Second Life and of course this one, the main one at point2e.com. Sometimes I got so confused I neglected to update some of the  blogs on respective themes. I find myself split into so many areas that I tend not to do anything to any area, so to speak. So I wonder, if I merge the blogs, will it make this main blog a bit too diversified, topic wise? I mean it is already diversified but it will be topic-diversity I suppose? The Reviews Database blog will remain as it is, since it is a place to post my reviews and for you to search for the titles. But I suppose I can merge the food and Second Life aspect, including the creations for Second Life items. I will need to clean up the topics as in labels but I am afraid point2e.com will have so many posts, things may slow down a bit! I suppose I will have to move everything to the archives and start all over. Wouldn't be hard since I have very few comments to manage anyway.

Ok, that's that!

P/S I am gonna go all quiet and silent UNTIL I upload the new template!!! I WILL!! I WILLLLLL!!!!!!!

Help me Nintendo Wii experts! Help! HELP! HELP!!!!!!!!!

I have been eyeing to buy a Nintendo Wii for some time, especially that Board thing where I can do exercise and all so I have been doing some research and finally decided I will need to get the Wii console (not Wii U but the Wii itself) AND Wii Fit Plus with board (not Wii Fit with board but Wii Fit PLUS with board). That much I have decided and I know, where the price range for both is between RM800 to RM1000. I am like woahhhh expensive.

Then I did some research and I have been reading about remote sensors lar, remotes lar, nanchuks lar, and all that sort and at this point my head is exploding, like literally exploding! And that was before I stumbled into that thing called sensor bar lar, those tennis racquet lar, guitar lar, and whatever else.

So now I am officially confused and my head is going wii wii wii wii. Which is why I am writing this post, hopefully to appeal to anyone who has Wii and I need your expert advice.

I want Wii for the exercise board. That much I am certain! But if I want to play any ordinary motion sort of game (not Board specific), which one do I use? The remote? That thing weirdly named as Nunchuk? I mean use both? Use one? Which one? If I want 2 people to play, then what? I need to get 2 remotes AND 2 nunchuks? Do I need the tennis racquet? 

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And oh the price differs! I am not even sure which shop to go to. All I know is I want to buy the US version as in English. I am not a serious gamer, my most serious gaming experience is Sims 3 and Burger Shop 2. I just want Wii for exercise with some fun in it you know? Like make myself move a bit. 

So if you have a favourite local game shop which sells everything I am supposed to get for a bundle and reasonable price and in the region of KL or Selangor, do tell! I will go and have a visit! 

And I just saw a game about cooking! Oh oh oh!!!! I want that! But oh nunchuk lar, remote lar, sensor bar lar... please don't tell me Wii also have those 4 sensor whatever where I can literally do karate kick and my TV character will do the same? Got? GOT? Oh no... I am bankrupt!!

Anyway, seriously, Wii users, help!!

[O] Funn's Top 10 most memorable TV male "good guy" characters of all time

NOTE
I will be posting intermittently so if you see this post at the top, it means it has been updated. Your comments and choices are most welcomed!

I have watched TV series since forever, and yet not many stick in my mind unless I really really try. But there are some that sticks for many reasons, mostly good, sometimes awful. Initially I wanted to write about 10 male characters that is very memorable to me for whatever reason and only from TVB series but then I thought that is not a good approach. I suppose I want to write something positive and so I have decided to write about the top 10 most memorable "good guy" male characters on TV I have seen. Now there are 3 aspects to this;

1. only 10 characters

2. only male characters on TV (in this case TV series from Asia) that are essentially good guys

3. my choice

I am sure there are plenty of other memorable male characters from many productions, series, languages, etc that are memorable for all the right reasons (good acting, good looks, good character, good story, good production, good everything) but the following, in particular order are most memorable according to my limited memory. I must emphasise, they may be, could be, will be and must be others but I am only limiting myself to those I have seen, remembered and you may say from my generation of TV watching.

Anyway, in no particular order ...

05.05.2013 : A change is gonna come to Malaysia?

Updates - 06.05.2013
Apparently, no change is gonna come to Malaysia. But there is a major swing in votes, racially, as reported in papers which is true but nonsense if you know what I mean. I hate how the commenters and the papers are writing about "Chinese tsunami" for the opposition and the Malay votes back to the current government. This is a racial divide, especially when the papers also say how our current and next 5 years PM was bending his back to gain favours from the Chinese. It makes it as if we are traitors for not voting for BN. This is ridiculous. The PM did not bend his back to gain votes just from Chinese. The so called Chinese tsunami of votes is insane because I personally heard from many other races about wanting change and a stronger opposition. To say the so called Chinese tsunami is setting up for racial divide and it is not gonna do anyone any good at all.

Anyway polling day was peaceful and in fact rather orderly. Many people turned up and many were helpful and friendly, whatever the race may be. I was voting at Cheras, always an opposition stronghold (and the MP won, very very comfortably) and everyone was like quietly doing what they were supposed to do. Even the cops were friendly and helpful. However some did make a mistake of sending up voters to the wrong school There was the primary and secondary school, next to one another and I don't get how the person checking a voter's name could have given the voter the slip with the room to vote in when it was the wrong school! That was the serious lack of coordination. Other than that it was rather efficient. It took me about half hour of queuing up. I however hated the so called blue ink painted on my left 2nd finger. The ink wasn't so permanent so to speak and I wasted many tissues. What a waste of public fund for a useless ink.I mean how to prevent double voting? Simple. Like what they were doing; strike out a particular name in a particular register! Simple!Or thumb print us! Or use those EPF machines and scan our ICs! Anything but a useless ink.

And one major complain. When our ICs were introduced, it was supposed to be like one major "octopus" card (like the Malaysian Touch N Go in HK) so how come upon updating my IC address my voting area is still the previous correspondence address? Shouldn't any update in IC be automatically updated in all areas such as the electorate roll or whatever? Why do I even need to update the address in that roll with the relevant body, again? When will we become efficient again?

Anyway BN won, but narrowly. I just hope I don't see some stupid backlash like the many commentaries I am seeing right now. Chinese tsunami? How stupid. Have they count the actual votes by each race perhaps? Why not see it as Youth tsunami? Many new young voters this year. And I hate the "how ungrateful they all are" point of argument. BN should be grateful they won. Now they have 5 years to clean up their acts. They have been given another chance but even the other races are fed up. Let's have a clean government. As for the opposition, I feel aligning themselves with another party that does not have the same philosophy and agenda as the others is a proof that they're a sell out.

Let's have integrity back in politics. Hard I know but it does exist.

Is change gonna come to Malaysia after 05.05.2013? Will it be for the better or for the worse? Will the current party win but marginally or lose spectacularly? Word from the street is they all want change. Which reminds me of this song which I believe is about the civil rights movement in America in the 60s...

I was born by the river in a little tent

Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since

It's been a long, a long time coming

But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die

Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky

It's been a long, a long time coming

But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

I go to the movie and I go downtown somebody keep telling me don't hang around

It's been a long, a long time coming

But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother

And I say brother help me please

But he winds up knockin' me

Back down on my knees

There been times that I thought I couldn't last for long

But now I think I'm able to carry on

It's been a long, a long time coming

But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

As usual stock up oil, rice, food, everything but whatever the change may be, hopefully 06.05.2013 will be a public holiday and a good one.
