K.Trengganu random shotz
Slept till around 4pm this afternoon and have done nothing much except dota with the pc. Will need to post all the photoz i have before the new semester starts
Been blog-jumping and seen lotsa interesting blogs like food blogs, sex blogs, travel blogs and so on~
Below are some photoz taken in K.Trengganu:

A gate at the ‘chinatown’ area. Further down the road got quite a number of pork stalls. My impression bout Trengganu initially is that there won;t be any pig head in sight but i;m wrong! Haha, enjoyed the “小包” (small buns like the butter bun clustering together in a grp of 15 or more) of K.Trengganu alot.

There;s no Mc donald or Burger king in K.Trengganu except Kfc and Pizza hut. How pathetic! One and only~

Gorgeous temple in the ‘chinatown’.

“老爹井” (Dad’s well). Found this interesting site near the hawkerstallz area.

Yet another old house building.

One of the largest shopping complex in K.Trengganu. Wonder how Chee Yang survive there!

Bus station next to the shopping complex.

Luggage keeping site for rm 1 or 2 per baggage. See the cute gal there in green? haha she luv playing with my camera and luckily she din lick it

A lighthouse-like building at the beach area near the bus station.

Weird looking cloud framing the sun.

There;s lotsa people at the beach area and chatting to each other. Mostly guyz rather than couple~ Gayz? I doubt!

A male goat having some fun time grazing~

Stayed at the beach area for some time doing nothing and enjoying the scenery.

A malay guy told me that it;s the season for sotong and suggested some good area to catch them.

It;s getting dark and we went for a dinner after the beach lepak session.
Dota Is Killing Me!
Lately been doing nothing at home except dota. After waking up, i;ll go thro one session abt an hr or so, i;ll get blur again before having lunch. Then i’ll go thro another trial and yet another just to learn how to use the hero Razor! Haha, by far it;s my favourite hero thou its kinda weak in some aspect :p As a newbie i do read abit from the forum on how to play as well~ Am i a dota addict? I think sO thou i;m still a newbie or noob to this game~ My eyes and head are getting blur after each session and i kinda like the blurry sensation in my head! Haha bit like on alcohol feel~ Very light and …
These pictures are taken from one of the game session with the computer. I think i;ll be killed badly by my fren if i ever play with them!
Hmm below are some guidance for Razor taken from the forum at www.dota-allstars.com and hope u guyz will like it (plz comment on how to improve further if u dun mind) :
Razor, the Lightning Revenant
Introduction…
Razor is my most favourite hero. Although he is quite difficult to use, he is very rewarding should you persist in him. He is more of a pusher/farmer then a hero killer, and he is very item dependable, but due to that he can be a killer in the late game. Also, he has 2 good passive spells, and i like passive spells to active, because you does not require mana to use them. Generally, his spells are balanced. With low health, however, you may not want to be reckless.
(This is my first guide for Dota heroes, so do not expect it to be perfect. But I will try to make it as good and as accurate as possible.)

One of the best spells to have for a hero. Takes in lesser damage as compared to Mask of Madness. However, due to his low health, you should not use it at the start of the game…
———-

Strategy / Others
1. Stay at the lane furthest away from your base (aka top lane if Scourge and bottom lane if Sentinal). This is because it is easier for you to save your own skin. It is easier for you to fight as they reach to your tower first, plus you will take some time to push across the river (source of all backstabs). Furthermore, if you want ot escape and he comes from the front, just retreat. If he comes from your back, run to the river, then go up the cliff and back to your base. Very simple to stay alive.
2. Practice your farming. Farming is essential to my items build as you will be aiming for Radiance right from the start. If you do not get last hits on creeps often or get killed often, you will get your Radiance late in the game. Also, in order to farm well, try to go take a single lane by yourself (usually no problem, as the top/bottom lane is not that popular of Scourge/Sentinal players). Ask your allies nicely. Explain to them you will need to farm for a Radiance. Also if possible, try to deny them experience by getting last hits on your creeps too (through button “a”). Out leveling your opponent gives you the psychological edge.
3. Remember that you have only 550 range. This gives you a disadvantage considering that most ranged heroes have 600 ranged at the start. However, also remember that the best defense is through offense. If you can, caress them with by going up and give 1 to 2 attacks, then target them with your chain lightning. If they goes back to fountain, good for you. Use that time to quickly gain level. If you get the kill, even better. More gold and experience for you.
4. When chasing a hero with a pixel wide bit of health left, use your chain lightning to gain the kill. If they are too far for your reach, chase and wait till the next creep wave comes in and your opponent are within or just a little behind the creeps, use your chain lightning on the creeps and hopefully the lightning will jump onto your opponent. Always try to aim the chain lightning at the hero first, as each jump gives less damage.
5. Once you aquire Boots of Travel, Radiance and Eyes of Skadi, ask your allies if they need any items. You earn money in a flash. So spend it well. Assist your allies in getting their crucial items so that you can win the game earlier. Dota is not only about individual skills, but also about teamwork. Your hero is already quite stable if you get these 3 items.
6. Eyes of Skadi stacks with Mask Of Madness. Your high damage, insane walking/attacking speed, slowing attacks, life leech and almost Perma-frenzy should be able to help you kill or escape. You will be a player well feared by your opponents. However, you are still not strong enough to withstand gangs. So look at the minimap frequently to monitor your opponent’s movement.
7. Aim for barracks. Your opponent will not be able to withstand the wrath of mega creeps. Get the barracks, and it is gg for them.
8. Abuse the teleportation powers you get with your Boots of Travel (aka Nike shoes). Use it to get back to the battlefield from your fountain, stop a bunch of creeps or to defend your base.
9. Very important. The Ultimate for Razor is bugged. It is minor, however, and there are ways to get past it. Very simply put, his Ultimate will not auto update. For example, you had reached level 11 or 16 and you pumped a point into Storm Seeker. However, his damage by Storm Seeker continues to remain the same. To ‘update’ it, either get yourself killed (not wise), or get yourself hexed. Getting yourself hexed is easy. Just aim at an ally creep/building which has more than 50% health. You will get hexed automatically, and when you go back to normal, your Ultimate will be updated. This is shown by the animation of lightning falling on Razor’s head, as you will see when you first pump a point into his Storm Seeker. Do it when the condition is save, however. Just another note, to attack your own creeps/buildings, use that “a” button and click on them. However, you can only do so if the creep has less than 50%of his life, or when the building has less then 90% of his life. Killing them yourself will deny them of the exp and gold they so ‘rightfully’ deserves. =)

Diarrhoea and Steamboat
My nice dream at around 8am this morning was interrupted by a sharp pain in the abdomen and an urge to relieve myself off the loads. Visited the toilet few times in a row and darn it;s all disgusting watery stuffz! Went back to sleep and not until noon time where i got this prob again~ Had few charsew bun as lunch + honey drinks to replenish my lost body fluid~ Not that bad at least i feel healthier now with my intestinal passages cleared and i lost bit of weight i supposed (not much thou)! It;s not a serious one and hence i din take any medication nor visit any doc~ I believe in natural healing (now this is contradicting to wat i study):P
Alrite, got a steamboat for dinner to fill up my stomach and it;s kinda fun playing with the foods! EAten quite abit and felt like dying coz the stomach almost erupted. Actually, this steamboat was planned for tomoroe coz gona have an outing to Bukit Bintang with my mum and sis. Who knoes there;s this thing called rain that spoilt the plan and hence the steamboat as dinner. Anyway here;s some photo for u all~

Initial soup base was made with miso paste added with lotsa mushrooms (enoki mushroom and some oyster mushroom), fish balls, vege balls, crabs, prawn and pork + bit of lettuce.

My sis controlling the level of the flame while my mum looked on.

Finally after some waiting can start to eat d!

My first serving: Crab, prawn, fish and vege balls, oyster and enoki mushroom + a strip of fish cake noodle…

Wrapped the pork with lettuce and dip with organic oyster sauce be4 eating~ YUmmy!

Second serving : More vege balls, pork and oyster mushroom + lettuce for wrapping the pork.

Third serving: Something like second serving but added with noodle, crab and enoki mushroom.

Fourth serving: More prawns and bit of pork + vege balls.

Final serving: Prawns + crabs + 2 pork bits and lettuce.
After eating all this and gulping down one whole glass of yuza tea, i;m officially dead yet satisfied! Taking back all the losses in the morning and afternoon
Sem 4 Starting Soon!
This holiday is for sure a short one, thou it;s a full one month. Have lotsa fun and been to places that i have not gone before like ZOo negara, Redang, and Lake Garden. Infact, holiday felt like it has just started yesterday without realizing that it gona end in just a week time. Thou i mentioned i wana improve my Dota and been playing at least once daily, i’m still so noob
Gona find the rest of the guyz out for a game session soon and practise make perfect! As there;s good thing bout holiday, there’s also bad thing bout holiday too such as gaining more fats (dormant), getting more lazy, spending more money than ever (broke to hell d), and feeling bored!

Photo taken on 14th of May at Zoo Negara with Joe, Me, Anson, Samantha and Woon Chin.
Heard that the dress code has been implemented quite strictly by IMu recently and bet it;s for sure something good for the guyz. Coz more OL-like gal to see, but i doubt the ladies gona wear office wears! Hmm, how nice if i;m those salaryman in those corporate~ Haha, do i sound like a pervert? Guyz alwayz have to wear tie and wear formal attire no matter wat but galz on the other hand can alwayz wear jeans, mini skirt, and t-shirt as they like. Anyway, am looking forward to a new sem and getting to knoe the guyz better!
Picnic @ Lake Garden.
Once again woke up late for the Lake Garden trip. Everyone was there at the penthouse at 9am as promised. I was 15 minz late. Initially we had bout 11 people going but Joe, Junie and her sis suddenly cannot come due to some reasons. Anson was struck with fever and flu and hence din join us which made this trip incomplete for the Zhibi members. Jou ann and Hua ying provided the much needed transport with Zhiyong as guide (coz Lake Garden is just nearby his home).

Reached the park at around 10am and they all were busy preparing for the picnic session at a shaded spot.

Foods of the day: Fried rice by Pei sung; Fried noodle and fruit jelly by Jou ann; Egg sandwiches and longan jelly by Yee Wen; hotdog with cucumber stick by Samantha; nuggets and jelly (sucky red wine + lovely ginseng wine) by me; drinks by hua ying; and watermelon by Zhiyong. Everything was nice except for my nuggets which were pretty soggy.

Front row: Zhiyong, Samantha and Jou ann. Back row: Hua ying, Pei Sung and Yee Wen.

Hua ying (bday gal) with Samantha.

Zhiyong and me were the only guyz there with the galz.

Everyone was laughing when Samantha was presenting the bday cake substitution to Hua ying. She made a lame trick by telling Hua ying that her back was dirty in an effort to make her turn around but Hua ying kinda had some hard time understanding the situation. And we were staring blurly at Samantha as well :p Yaiks, she;s worse than Pei Sung d :p

Hua ying posing with her birthday jelly.

Yet another grp photo after the feasting session.

A bushy dinosaur on display. Zhiyong memntioned that the dinosaur was kinda ‘botak’ last time as compared to now~

We went on a phototaking session at the playground and had lotsa fun playing around like those kids~

IOncomplete zhibi gang due to the absence of Anson.

A hanging bridge connecting the two castle units.

Galz grp photo at the bridge area.

Was pointing my camera at these kids and they were running for their lives! haha, they might be wondering “who;s this freaky fella and what he gona do with us?”.

This slide gave me so much fun and the colors reminded me of the Korean.

Pei Sung posing in the tunnel followed by…

Zhiyong was so lucky to be with 4 galz!

I joined them as well and set the camera on auto mode :p

Jou ann and Pei Sun were so much so like a kid in this photo~

Samantha was thinking of having wedding at garden like this~

Galz posing again with Hua ying trying to mimic some supermodel pose

Acalypha simensis aka tea plant.

Feel so peaceful at the garden and there;s no one around except us.

This tree reminded me of a ghost drama where a guy hung himself on a tree like this~ On the other hand, picnic underneath tree like this surely gona be a fun xperience…

Upon further walking around, we found a better area compared to our picnic area. Had some chilling and wonderful mango yoghurt drinks~

Crossed the bridge and met up with some chilling geese. Their droppings were everywhere! So be careful when walking around!

It will be so romantic here holding someone;s waist~

Some part of the Lake garden’s lake looks more like a river to me

After seeing geese, it;s time for some ducks…

It;s so cute of them to line up when moving from water to the land.

A duck busy flapping himself off any water.

A secluded swing area for couple?

Man-made waterfall at the area.

After wandering around, we returned to our picnic spot and presented Hua Ying with her present.

How happy was she to find out that it;s a Guess handbag

We left at around 12.45pm and headed straight to One Utama for some window shopping session…

An oil paint like photo of Lake Garden area to end this post…
