Awww dude, work was pretty boring today. Had to make a little fun for ourselves. Talking, joking, laughing, bitchin', that sorta stuff.

Do teacher-student relations bother any of you guys at all? I feel very bothered by it. I think my involvement in my CCA coupled with my inability to commit ruined relations with zeh teachers. Sad. Toooooo BAAAAAD. Hates people uzz. Going to get myself in trouble in future because of that man. BUUUT that's who I am. Gotta change it.

Hahaha yeah first of all as I glance through several reviews made by very American gamers/game developers I realise that they all have this bias towards the Microsoft console, XBOX360 while Japanese gamers reflect the similar preference for Japanese tech giant, SONY and it's PS3 game console. So it's a little difficult to look under all the patriotism and shit to see which game console really is a better choice.

GRAPHICS:
PS3 and XBOX360 honestly speaking now are more or less neck in neck in game graphics, well at least as far as still images are concerned. XBOX360 has better lighting than PS3, while PS3 has better textures than XBOX360. Many times, PS3 game graphics appear washed out and low contrast in comparison to the XBOX360's. Textures on the other hand appear unrealistic in the XBOX360, while the PS3 offers richer textures and more intricate details on 3D models.

INTERESTINGLY! (Creds Azmi) PS3 now uses Bluray. You know what that means? Bluray + Plasma HDTV = AWESOME + OWN XBOX360! Bluray discs hold up to 54 gigabytes of information, as opposed to inferior DVD's that hold up to 9 gigabytes only. Extra space means that there's more room for more data to code for better 3D models and animation. So the only limit is the processing power of the console.

SUSTAINABILITY:
Yeah when you buy something, you always want to know how long it can last you. So, first of all, the XBOX360. According to American gamers/game developers, XBOX360 generally has a larger selection of games and thus is a better choice. This is true in that perhaps not many games originated from PS3 do not spark much interest in the western gaming community, but game developers aim to expand their market, so they need to make their games compatible with other gaming consoles. Several games like Assassin's Creed 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 have been made available on both XBOX360 and PS3 consoles. So game choice shouldn't really be much of a problem. Besides, popular games always manage to reach other consoles. I hear Halo is going to appear on PS3 next year. L4D2 too.

A major plus on PS3's side is that it has FREE online play! XBOX360 - 50 bucks a year subscription. That's just bullshit if you ask me. But what's a gaming console if you have no one to play with? Exactly. It's like a lolipop, you only use it once. Was going to use a cruder comparison, but I'll leave the imagination up to you! HAHA YES I DID IT WITHOUT WRITING ANYTHING! HAHAHAHAAHAHA.

HOWEVER. As good as the PS3 sounds now, the downside is that to get all the STUPENDOUS graphics out of the PS3, everything's gotta be original because of the bluray. That means I'll have invest in games 60 dollars or more a piece (the good games), while XBOX360 users may want to modd their console to be compatible with pirated games. It all goes down to how much you're willing to spend to get awesome graphics.

Suddenly, 50 dollars a year for internet gameplay for only slightly less amazing graphics sounds better than blowing all you cash on bluray games. Also I'm certain that a modded XBOX360 is completely able online gameplay (I have a friend who has a modded XBOX360 console playing live), but I'm not entirely sure if a modded PS3 can do the same, let alone if it can be modded at all.

So in terms of sustainability, I think XBOX360 wins, if you want to settle for less graphics, but maximize and stretch zeh moneh in deh pocket.

NEW CONSOLES COMING UP?!!!?!?!:
If you think of it that way, buying either console doesn't seem like a good idea, since it's already been over 4 years since the release of XBOX360 and 3 years for PS3. Which in terms of tech advancements in GAMING FRICKING TECHNOLOGY COMPLETELY ANCIENT. I also read an article online, saying that Microsoft's new gaming console is only going to be released when the use of HDTVs become more widespread. Which I assume is actually pretty soon.

In this respect, it's really not a good idea to invest in any gaming console now and just watch for now. With 900 dollars safely in my pockets, I should be ready to pounce on any new console that comes out.

DSLR:
Weeeeeeellll. I have so much to say, yet I'd rather keep it to myself, because it's pretty much all bitchin' and not much smart stuff going on. No, no DSLR.

DESKTOP:
A new desktop sounds like a good idea for me right about now, but I'm also pretty sure that the parents won't be so happy about it. I just got this bluddy laptop fixed a while ago and now I want a new desktop? Well they SAID I could do anything with my hard earned cash. And it's not as if I'm going out to buy myself a hooker or anything. (OR AM I?!) Yeah not so much. If they're not going to let my inner paikia take over me, at least let me satisfy my geeky cravings. Yeah but honestly, this PC sucks balls. I expected for a moment the lap top to just blow up in my face or electrocute me. But it was a terrible decision to buy this hunk'o'junk. Yeah yeah the monitor can spin 180 degrees. SO WHAT?! Can it run Civilisation 4 properly? NOOOO! Can it run Black and White 2 without frying the motherboard? NO! Can it run WC3 in 800X600 without lagging?

Sounds very negative but I think it's pretty true. Honestly if anyone wasn't able to do that they'd probably be able to survive without oxygen and be composed of chains of sulfur (Cambridge changed "ph" to just "f") or something. This means people who are capable of that do not exist.

I also think people judge how strong someone is by looks. Which is wrong because I'm no wear near XXXXXL but I'm pretty strong if I say so myself. Yes I'm self-conscious about that.

Today I also realised that many adults I observed in Marche do not have the initiative I expected them to have. Or maybe it was because of the contrast to the productivity of a bunch of people who already know each other and are able to better communicate. I would also associate the productivity to a collective idea or subconscious kind of "need", that characterizes Victorians. It sticks. I'm surprised.

I think "work minimum for maximum reward" is a quality shared by many new workers in Marche. I'm being highly specific so as to not generalize with other workers I have not yet seen. I hope this proves to be untrue, but I doubt it.

I never like people to speak ill of me behind my back. No one does. Except maybe Paris Hilton. Yeah especially if those people are not in the same plane of which you stand. HAHA I don't think everyone understands that. I mean, if two people are like friends, or in the same level or like in the same "caste/class/status" then it's probably okay loh. For me anyways.

HAHAHA Monday was awesome. Primary school dudes and myself went to play badminton together. It was a strange feeling to see them again. Oh and saying that "people change" isn't necessarily true. Well, maybe not for that span of time, but definitely not much has changed.

Oh man then right after that, I went back home to my computer and started chatting with Victoria dudes, and we somehow or rather decided to spend our night at the airport after sending off Ziyad (who went to Egypt). It was kinda cool, dude. We saw activity in the airport slowly seep away as night drew closer. HAHA we saw this sign in the Popeye's store saying, "No studying or card/board games..." which looked like "... or cardboard games..." which is ridiculous. Reminds me of today in Marche. I fell a little ill after that night. The airport is frickin' cold.

Man I still don't know what to do with 900 dollars. Car? Hahaha.

LOL I just had dinner before writing this post, and my sis invited me to join her in getting our hair done at a Tony and Guy training salon or something like that. She asked when my off day was and then do you know what I had to say to her?! "Sorry, I'll have to check with my supervisor." Weird.

Don't you love it when your MP3 player randoms several of your favourite songs in a row? "Someday - MLTR" > "Frail Grasp on the Big Picture - Eagles"

I lied. I think so far hols have been quite a letdown. Mmm. Maybe this is what happens when you have high expectations for something. Ring any bells? No? ME NEITHER! HAHAHA.

ANYWAYYYYY, I just completed "SPLINTER CELL: PANDORA TOMORROW" on my Xbox, completed "BATTLEZONEII: COMBAT COMMANDER" on my PC, played DotA the whole morning and finally got praised by random dudes online and earned myself some "street cred" lol.

So now, I have nothing to do. Ooh! Badminton with 4J guys a couple of days back was fun. It's been long since I put my racket + back muscles + abs to good use. Yup they still hurt (except the racket, or DOES IT!). Yeah then right after that I went to get a FRICKIN JAB UP THE ASS!!1!1111!!!!! THE NEEDLE WAS LIKE. HUGE! OMG. I COULD FEEL IT GO UP TO MY NECK DUDE! WHOAAAA!

Nah it was a small needle that went in my shoulder. Now I'm immune to typhoid. For three years. What was the typhoid jab for? I'm going to mars. They recently found that bacteria could survive in mars, but in one of their experiments they accidentally let lose hundreds of bacteria on mars that multiplied to become quadrillions and "asdiofj aw;eifjaew fawfew wa"illions of mutated bacteria that can bite your head off and give you typhoid. Yum. I got employed as a kinda ASTROjanitor to clean up the mess over at mars. See you in January! NEXT JANUARY HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Right. I just got a job that requires me to get a typhoid jab. But it wouldn't be interesting if I just said that, would it? Of course not. Holidays are boring.

See? All the fabricated stories are so much more interesting than if I had just typed:

I had a jab. It hurt. I needed the jab because it was a job requirement.

I want a PS3. I think I'll get one as soon as I get my salary at the end of next month! Yumyum. Alternatively (nice word), maybe I should get a DSLR. Because I have 700 dollars in my drawer under my bed in my pocket in my car now. 700 + 900 = 700900! OMG I can buy like 10 DSLRs and still have enough to buy myself another car! OMG HAHAHA YAY!

Oh yeah if anyone wants do anything fun go ahead and do it! If anyone wants to do anything fun with me, you should call me and plan it before this coming Wednesday. BECAUSE WEDNESDAY ONWARDS I'M NASA'S SLAVE!

I should dedicate one post to pen down what I learnt this year. Although I doubt I'd remember hahaha.

Maybe it's the fact that 24 hours without sleep have jumbled up my brain a little. Hahaha. Together with being shell-shocked at the fact that O levels are finally over the bridge, under the rug, across the river and above the stars, and also coming to the realization that the days of "we'll do it tomorrow" have come to an end with my friends in Victoria School.

Oh man I miss it already. I just LOVE you know like discussing a game or topic or something in school and then being very amused and excited about it and then deciding that we'd kick it up a notch the next day. And seeing how I performed so far in the Big One, continuing to do that isn't really looking up. Arrgh I wish I studied harder for it.

I'll take a nap and check back later to see if I feel the same.
