Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2

Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 due to be released on November 10 2009 sure is exciting news for me. I have played every installations of Call of Duty and this latest installation, Modern Warfare 2 promises even better AI and more efficient graphics rendering. I just hope my 2 year-old laptop can support this beast~. ^^,

Here’s the latest video I found in YouTube uploaded just 21 hours ago. Hot cake hot cake~

PS : Anyway I would like to apologize for the lack of post lately. Have been busy flying these few weeks and am preparing for my upcoming flight test. Also last weekend, I went back to my hometown and whenever I am back, I try to stay away from my computer as much as possible. And this week has been a horrible week for me. >.<

Kagami & Haruhi Wishes You….

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival~~!!

Both of them wants to share with you that cute little mini moon cake. Any takers? *raises both hands* >.<

Anyway, here are some of the activities that you can do during the Mid-Autumn Festival :

Eating mooncakes outside under the moon

Putting pomelo rinds on one’s head

Carrying brightly lit lanterns, lighting lanterns on towers, floating sky lanterns

Burning incense in reverence to deities including Chang’e (simplified Chinese: 嫦娥; traditional Chinese: 嫦娥; pinyin: cháng’é)

Planting Mid-Autumn trees

Collecting dandelion leaves and distributing them evenly among family members

Fire Dragon Dances

So what are you doing to celebrate? For me, I guess I will munch down that mini moon cake in front of my laptop screen. I do wish I could share that moon cake with my loved ones while enjoying the moonlight together. But I am 600km away from home and going outside over here is not a good idea because aside from munching down the moon cake, I will also be ‘donating blood’, if you get what I mean. ^^,

McDonald’s – Mamak Style

Was at the Kuala Terengganu bus terminal last Friday and was craving for some Chicken McNuggets, so I paid a visit to the McDonald’s near the bus terminal.

But what that greets me wasn’t the usual colorful McDonald’s restaurant table but this….

Apparently McDonald is adapting the new Mamak style theme. ^^,

I’m Going Home

I am going home~! To the place where I belong~! ^^, Will be back for the weekend till next Monday and hell yeah I sure am excited! Can’t wait to be back! All the food and the nice things in Penang. ^^,

Note : I stumbled upon this video in youtube and find the song matching today’s theme and also I always love Final Fantasy VII’s MV. ^^, So enjoy the song and video.

Do take time everyday to think of those people who are really important to you. Time flies by, so use it wisely. ^^,

Kuala Terengganu – Our Home

Again procrastination got the better of me. This should have been uploaded weeks ago.

But I guess this time procrastination does have it own advantages. The previous batch just left yesterday, so this morning, my room mate woke up early and he started cleaning the house. I woke up a little later to help him out (actually its a couple of hours later. Sorry~). >.< So because of procrastination, what you are going to see here today is a better, cleaner and a more organized house. ^^, Wahahahahaha.

This is what you see the moment you enter the house. ^^, Huge area to hang about and relax. ^^,

And this is what you see when I turn around to face the entrance. ^^,

Lets move forward in the hall and look at what’s out there beyond the sliding window.

Its a golf course. ^^, The view is really nice. All the greenery. Really good for relaxation.

This is the view from the sliding window looking back into the house towards the entrance. ^^,

Looking slightly to the left. We got couches to laze around also. And we also have Astro. ^^,

Going back to the entrance, if you turn left, this is what you see. Rooms are those with red doors while washroom are the light brown coloured door at the end of the hallway.

This is the master bedroom. It has a bathroom in it also.

Looking left, this is another room.

And this is our room. Next to the toilet. >.< Opposite the kitchen. I am not going to show you our room today, because it is really messy inside. >.<

This is the kitchen

With the washing machine inside. ^^,

Yup that’s basically our house. ^^, Quite comfortable actually. ^^, Till next time. Cheers~!

Kuala Terengganu – The Morning Sunrise

Kuala Terengganu is really an amazing place. Well, although there is not much entertainment here but the view is definitely gorgeous.

Have always wanted to share with you, but procrastination seems to take the better part of me. >.<

This is the view that greets me every morning when I come out of the house.

Probably you have already seen a ton of sunset photos, but I guess sunrise shots are a rare sight here in this site.

I love this picture below because of the really calm and gentle blue-purplish colour in the sky. Its really amazing.

This picture below is taken in the van on the way to the airport. The sun today looks a little different though. Looks more yellowish then orangey. >.<

But nevertheless, it is still an awesome sight to see. ^^,

I hope this post made your day shine even brighter! Enjoy your day and live life to its fullest! Cheers

Random Photos – Kitty Love

Just some random shots I took at the Hangar. ^^,

Was going to the washroom when I saw this two really cute cats sleeping. Went back to the crew room and took my camera.

Its a beautiful afternoon and to see them cuddling each other falling to sleep is just sweet. Mmmmm, such a warm feeling.

 

Looking at this two cats, I wonder, in our very busy lives, when was the last time we showed love to those who are really important to us?

How many times have we told them that we still care and that they really mean a lot to us?

A lot of us tend to take things for granted. We assume that everything is ok. Everything is fine

But in my opinion, it is this small small little words and actions that are the most important.

Life is short. Appreciate those who are important to you.

Looking at this two cats, it really reminds me of a lot of stuff. I just felt a very warm feeling inside of me when I saw them.

It is just beautiful.

Facial Expression

Discovered yet another interesting article while surfing. ^^,

A team from Glasgow University carried out a research that suggests that people from different cultures read facial expressions differently and this study also challenges the idea that facial expressions are universally understood. >.<

The study concluded that East Asian participants in the study focused mostly on the eyes, but those from the West scanned the whole face. >.< and because of that, East Asians were more likely than Westerners to read the expression for “fear” as “surprise”, and “disgust” as “anger”.

Also, this is not all. Apparently, this is also evident in the emoticons used online. ^^,

East West differences in Emoticons

Emotion	West	East
‘Happy’	:- )	(^_^)
‘Sad’	:- (	(;_;) or (T_T)
‘Surprise’	:- o	(o.o)

As you can see, the Eastern emoticon is not only the right way up, but also focuses mainly on the eyes while for the West, the focus is mainly on the mouth.

Most text are copy and pasted via BBC

After reading this article, 2 things popped into my mind. First is that notice the emoticons I used in my post? All focuses on the eye. >.< And secondly, for the ladies, this explains why sometimes your partner might ‘misread’ you because he was simply not seeing the big picture. ^^,
