Well it's been quite some time since I've blogged. It's because I am playing Napoleon Total War which is rather addictive and watched Celebrity Apprentice. So, here goes my list of top 7 board games.
1st - Monopoly
No question why it's at the top of the list. Everybody loves Monopoly.
Pros - Negotiation, resource management skills and hard to understand the game.
Cons - Transactions of cash, setting up of board and it's unclear rules.
2nd - Chess
Pros - It's the ultimate game of tactics and strategy.
Cons - Finding the right "opponent". If the opponent spent his whole life playing chess, checkmate in 10 moves mate. If the opponent is a noob, you're wasting your time because you'll just utilise scholar's mate. Many different rules of chess such as castling, En passant and so on.
3rd - Risk (2nd latest edition)
Pros - People who love dominance will surely love this game, forming alliances and being a traitor.
Cons - There are many flaws in this game and as such players make their own rule before they start the game such as only a maximum amount of 20 units are allowed in a territory. 2 player battles are not that fun.
4th - Youth Olympic Games
This is a game i created with ideas from dividends. Well, actually, it's simply a rip-off but my friends told me that this game is better than dividends.
Pros - Bidding, 3-12 players, easy to understand and easy to set-up game set.
Cons - Not a proper price for the player discs and athletes. 5 rounds of doing the same thing.Not many people know how to play this game.
5th - Checkers
Pros - Easy to understand and many people know how to play it. Tactics and strategy also included.
Cons - You'll get bored after playing a few rounds because the maximum number of moves a player can make is limited.
6th - Go
Not many people know this game. This game is like the total opposite of chess. I only played a single game against the computer and I lost. I placed it at number 6 because I have not played with any players at all so I do not know much about the mechanics of the game.
Pros - Easy to understand. Tactics,strategy and observation. Specified rules for handicapped matches.
Cons - Not many people know how to PLAY THE GAME and a game can take up a few hours if it's a competitive match.
7th - Scrabble
Pros - Improves your English. Easy to understsand.
Cons - Tedious job of counting your score and constantly looking up at the dictionary.

Warrior By Kid Rock
Genghis Khan was the most significant ruler of all time. To prove that Genghis Khan was the greatest ruler, we must go back to the very beginning of his existence. We must examine such issues as Genghis's struggle for power,how his life as a child would affect his rule, his personal and military achievements and his conquests.
Genghis Khan was originally born as Temujin in 1167. He showed early promise as a leader and a WARRIOR. By 1206, an assembly of Mongolian chieftains proclaimed him Genghis Khan, which meant universal or invincible prince. This was a bold move for the assembly. They obviously saw some leadership qualities in Genghis that others didn't. When Genghis Khan was little, his chieftain father was poisoned. With no leader left, the tribe abandoned Genghis and his mother. They were left alone for many years to care for themselves. Throughout these years, his family met many hardships such as shortage of food and shortage of money. Though unable to read, Genghis was a very wise man. His mother told him at a very early age the importance of trust and independence. "Remember, you have no companions but your shadow".
Genghis contributed alot of items to the Chinese and even western civilizations. Perhaps his greatest contribution was a code of laws that he declared. Since Genghis couldn't read or write, these law were documented by one of his followers. His laws were carried on by people though the many generations to the point of still being in use today. Either as a modification of Genghis's laws or as Genghis had declared them. Genghis Khan promoted the growth of trade between China and Europe. This allowed him to gain essential supplies such as food, weapons and other essential survival materials. Genghis also invented a system similar to the pony express. It was a system in which the horse and rider could silently communicate, a system that is still in use today. Perhaps the greatest gift ever given by Genghis Khan was the gift of language. Genghis was the first ruler to develop a Mongolian language.
Genghis Khan was also a military and strategic genius. He structured his army in a unique and interesting fashion. He integrated soldiers from different tribes into one powerful fighting force. This was a brilliant idea. Not only could he have diversity and people who specialize in certain aspects of warfare, but it also inspired loyalty to the mongolian army as a whole rather than to a specific group of people. Genghis used harsh training and strict discipline to create a superior fighting force, he also insured that everyone of his soldiers was well equipped and could easily adopted new warfare tactics. His soldiers were always learning. Whether it be a new tactic Genghis had invented or a new weapon He decided the army would use, his soldiers were constantly learning. Genghis inspired loyalty by a unique way of promotion. Genghis felt that the best way to gain a loyal following was to promote people on the basis of achievement and not within the family. This did not only inspire a great deal of loyalty but it also made his army better and actually raised the morale of his soldiers. Every soldier gave their life to Genghis and one hundred percent of their effort because no one knew who would be the next Genghis would promote.
Finally, once Genghis's army was trained and ready for battle, Genghis felt it was time to flex the muscles of the Mongolian empire. Genghis took on the great task of conquering all of China and uniting it under a single ruler. Genghis began his assault on China by attacking a northwest kingdom called Xi Xia. He defeated Xi Xia with little effort and then in 1215 he moved northeast, attacking and conquering Bejing, the capital city of the Jin empire. In 1218, for reasons unknown, he decided to cease his assault on China and sweep into central Asia. He crushed the kingdom of Krorezm which was located in what is now present-day Uzebekistan and Turkmenistan. In 1220, he destroyed the cities of Bukhara and Samarkand, which are located in present-day Uzebekistan and Neyshabar in modern Iran. By 1223, Genghis Khan and his troops had conquered the Kipchaks, and they had defeated the Russians at the Kalka River. It had taken Genghis Khan 17 years to create an empire superior in strength and achievement to Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar and even Hannibal. From 1225 until Genghis's death in 1227, His army was at war with Yi Yia kingdom.
Genghis Khan died on August 18, 1227, and was buried in a secret location in Mongolia. By rewarding skill and allegiance, and punishing those who opposed him, Genghis Khan established a vast empire and the most powerful empire to ever exist. Upon his death, Genghis's son Kublai Khan took over the empire, founding the chinese-style Yuan dynasty. Mongol rule brought relative peace to Asia, leaving China accessible to foreign visitors, such as Marco Polo.

Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) By Shakira
I know that the World Cup is over. The most boring world cup is over. Most teams played "safe" which bored me to death. If I can remember correctly, Slovakia vs Italy, Portugal vs N.Korea and all of Germnay's matches were the best to watch.
Germany was the team I was rooting for because they employed a counter-attack tactic which made all of their games very colourful. However, I feel that they do deserve their 3rd position because Spain and Netherlands simply had better players. It's funny though that many people started to support Spain only after they qualified for the quarter finals. Well I've bought a German wrist band and attached it to my school bag to show my support for Germany. I'm really glad that Mesut Özil is now in Real Madrid because Real is my favourite Spanish team.
There were many things that made this world cup memeroble. Firstly, it's the vuvuzela. Hahahaha, I hope vuvuzelas will be blown in future world cups because then, the South Africa will be remembered. Secondly, the infamous "Hand of God" by Luis Suárez. That guy is a cheater and he still has the nerves to call it "Hand of God". Ghana should have qualified for the semi-finals. If I had known, I would ahve placed all of my bets according to Paul the octopus. He could have made any man the next King Midas. I am still not sure though why Paul died, but the best thing Paul told me was to not watch the world cup. I ignored him and I regreted spending all those nights watching almost all of the matches at my computer. I hate the theme song of this world cup and I don't think there isn't a need for a world cup theme song. It's just over doing it. South Africans complained when their local singers could not sing for the theme song which I agree but I have to admit that Shakira's WAKA WAKA ( THIS TIME FOR AFRICA ) is a good effort and matches the world cup fever.
The 2014 Fifa World Cup will be held in Brazil and the next one would be held in Russia. I forsee that the 2014 World Cup would be a boring one but the 2018 will surely be a better one and I wonder how the Russian team would fair. Fast fact - the 2018 World Cup will be held in 2 continents, namely the Europe and Asia.
The 2022 Fifa World Cup is the one i would so be looking forward to. Let's see, by then I would be 28 yers old. I would so go watch the finals with my future girlfriend/wife if of course if 1 ticket does not cost more than 2000sg. So why is this Fifia World Cup fun? Well, t's because a number of western groups and meida outlets have expressed concern over the suitability of Qatar to host the event. Such concerns are those of Alcohlism, Israel and the weather. Well I am to sure expect many unexpected events in this 2022 world cup. Okay ,well it's just about 11 years more.
How sad.

Iron Man By Black Sabbath
Have you ever watched Superhero movies? Something like IRON MAN, Superman, Batman and X-Men? Don't you get irritated when one character is over-powered or how the good guys always win? Why doesn't any one of the villians or hero die? Sure enough the villian is defeated but his death is always uncertain and then he comes back to kill the hero. Then of course, wouldn't it be greater if charaters from this comic cross-over to another comic permanently just like Justice League? I've read a few characters at the comic series about X-Men which was published in the eighties. I got bored when i saw that many of the characters had the telepathy. Oh yeah, the most thing that i got disgusted about is the fact that the writers don't know how to do an incredible battle scene. For example, Wolverine just slashes Sabertooth with his "claws" and then Sabertooth throws a few punches and then the battle is interupted and then it ends. Like what the heck man! We ordinary humans always dream of superpowers and the most that the writers creates for the battle scene is simply that? Their battle scene should be more longer and interesting than any action-packed movie. They should make the viewers " wow that's cool! I really really wished I had superpowers like them ". They should not make viewers go " why did punched him when he could have blasted him to pieces? " Lastly, battles should be cooler in the sense that fellow heroes standing on the same side of the battlefield should combine their powers together. For example, Rogue should not run to an enemy to get his powers, instead she should have asked Nightcrawler to teleport her there and quickly take a touch. Though there are scenes where they do combine their powers, there are still areas for improvements.
With that in mind, I have created my own superhero comic which is called "50" . 50 is about 50 mutants or rather characters as I would call them in a series something like X-Men Evolution. I have finished thinking and narrowing down my characters to 50. I have also finished giving the characters their superpowers but have yet to classify their powers to levels. For example, at level 1, this character can control fire and at level 2, he can create it. Leveling can be due to many reasons but it mostly comes from battle experience and training. I have also decided that each of the 50 characters will come from different countries so that viewers can learn about other cultures.
The last paragraph will be about what i plan to do with 50 when I retire. I want 50 to be a telvision series programme, in the comic books, made into a huge movies for the installation to the end of each season of the television series. I also want a cards game franchise to be made out of it and also video games with a plot similiar to the series. Online battles would also be cool. As such, this will be a very huge project and thus I will need many investors, designer, advertisers, artist, scriptwriters and of course a trademark label!

Shoot To Thrill By AC/DC
One of the things I've always wanted to do after "O" levels is to play pool, and I managed to did just that! Wooohooooo! Shooting those coloured balls are so damn fun. I SHOOT TO THRILL. The feelings after each shot, regardless wether the balls go in or not is unimaginable. I think I've played about 4 games with my friends all of which we played at a place near the Singapore Immigrations Customs.
One of the things I am going to buy in the future when i have my own house is to buy an adult size pool table and a children size pool table for my kids. Haha i know you'll be thinking that oh my, 17 years old and you are thinking about kids? well i say future planing never hurts right?
The funny thing when we play pool is that we never really know the proper way to play it. There are many ways to play it, for example, billiards, snooker, eight-ball or nine ball. So, we basically made our own rules when we play. The number on the ball represents the points that ball is worth if you pot it and if you get to pot a ball, you get a free turn and that's about it. Simple right? No such fancy tournament rules like those I found at youtube.
I can't stop laughing when i remembered of a time when Matin and Faris played pool at a bowling center in Melaca. The table was so small and it was too easy to pot the balls in. I think 1 game is about 3 Ringgit Malaysia which is super cheap when you compare it to those in Singapore. However, a game at the bowling center ends when all the balls are potted but in Singapore, you pay according to how long you play. I prefer Singapore's system athough it is more expensive because I saw several kids about 10-12 years old at Melacca stopping the ball from being potted which irritated me because we must wait a long time for our turn to play.
Well if anybody can teach me how to play billiards, i'll gladly learn and if you want to treat me a free game, surely I'll go but provided if it's only in Singapore of course.

I Am Mine By Pearl Jam
For those who think the world is perfect, well it's not. Even after a million inventions, it is not perfect. Even after the introduction of laws, it is still not perfect. There are surely more than a billion ways to improve this world we live in. We need ideas, ideas and ideas. Though of course some ideas are impractical, they can still be introduced to certain countries and from there, to the world.
An idea I would like to propose is the introduction of thumbprints to the identification system. I bet your wallet is heavier than your jeans. It's stuffed with coins, your IC, grocery cards, bank cards, safra membership card, EZ-link and so on. Why not throw all that away and let's just use our thumbprints when we buy something or any identification purposes eh? Let's see, the Singapore Immigration Authorities have already introduced this system but it's only for people who are sixteen years old and above. Furthermore, the machine does not really identify us, it merely matches our thumbprint with that in our passports.
However it's still a good thing that they've introduced this system, because hey, if nobody starts it, then nobody would follow right? 1st world countries must surely be the starters because they have more than enough cash in their reserves. There are of course some problems with introducing this system. Firstly, many poeple thumbprints are needed to be recorded down into a data bank and i'm talkin about more than 7 billion people and counting. Secondly, what do we do with our existing cards,cash and coins? Thirdly, what about people without fingers? Fourthly, hackers can still hack into the system with their nerdy brains and then of course, they'll be rich, powerful, and famous for the worng reasons but the thing i fear the most is that the law could never catch them. Lastly, business that produces wallets and cards would simply go bankrupt.
However if by some miracle this system is introduced, the world would be more effecient and we'll be saving resources. Imagine this, you go flag a taxi and you show him your thumb, place it onto the identification system and say I AM MINE!

I Miss You By Blink 182
There was a class activity like some days before the "O" Levels started. We had to write positive things on a scrap of paper about each and every one of our classmate and give it to them for memory's sake. Here are the scraps of paper which I kept for about 3-4 months and after posting this post, I'm going to crumple and throw it all away.
Mr. Foo - " Dear Shah, I believe you have a seed of greatness within you, to achieve the wildest dreams you ever dreamed! And wear a smile :) always. Like what Michael Jackson's favourite song says. "
Calvin - I miss having you beside me & telling me jokes ~ you'll always be cool & awesome in my eyes, rock on!! ~
JBrien - Shah! I wanna hear you play the bass like a pro. Get your total war skill up also.
Yadana - Don't forget me when you become a reknowned vocalist

Boon Fong -Good luck buddy! Happy 2010! Stay happy!

So, total in all, only 20 students wrote to me and I know I've lost some. I'm so sorry bout that because the fan in our class were blowing the papers everywhere. Now, time to throw those papers away. Oh yeah. one more thing, 4E1 2010 was the best damn batch Fuchun Secondary School has ever had. I MISS YOU guys very much! I hope we have another gathering in the near future, perhaps maybe during teacher's day eh?

Seek And Destroy By Metallica
Faris arrived at my house at 5.45pm and handed over his green gatsby. There was a lot left in it. I do not know what to do with it so i just use it everytime i go to work. We walked to Sakura Buffet Restaurant which is near Republic Polytechnic. As expected some people were late, which made me wonder why did i arrived early? I could have stayed at home about 30 mins more.
I was seated with JBrien, Josh, Faris, Muhaimin and Matin and i did not any wanted any teachers at our table as it would be akward for us. After seeing Mr Soh, our Chemistry teacher, "chionging" a bowl of something, I immediately went to SEEK AND DESTROY every food that looks good. I like the systematic order of placing your "clip" onto a food that you want the chefs to cook for you. I would say that the nicest food over there is bulgogi chicken and the lousiest is raw salmon because i just ain't a sushi person.
Here's a rough list of what i ate over there.............
- a bite of raw salmon
- 1 chicken nugget
- 2 prawns
- a plate of kimchi fried rice
- 9 chicken satay
- a plate lamb chop
- a plate of bulgogi
- half a plate of chicken cutlets
- 1 slice of cheese cake
- 1 slice of oreo cheese cake
- 2 slices of blackforest cake
- 2 slices of truffle cake
- about two to three slices of swensens ice cake
- a glass of sprite mixed with coke
- a glass of mango juice
- 2 scoops of peppermint ice-cream
- 2 scoops of coffee ice-cream
- 1 scoop of strawberry ice-cream
- about 3 or 4 slices of pizza
- 2 soursop
- 4 "balls" of grape
Wonder why i can still remember what i ate even after 2 weeks? well firstly, it's just two week, secondly, it's my first buffet i've ever had, thirdly the food over there are delicious considering that not much of it is spicy, fourthly, i usually eat "boring" food at home and lastly, it'll be the last time we will see each other. I wonder where they will go 20 years from now and most importantly, who'll be the most successful?
(Ou yeah, do you think i ate the food over worth more than 27sg? It's because I knew i could still eat a little more because i am the "saver" type of person.) Argh! i regreted not eating more..........

Laugh And A Half By D-A-D
These are my top 7 comedies that I've watched . Surely you'll have disagreements but hey, who cares about you? You may ask why 7? Why not 5 or 10? Well it's because 7 is my favourite number.
1st ~ Mr Bean
2nd ~ Friends
3rd ~ Kenan and kel
4th ~ Simpsons
5th ~Whose Line Is It Anyway?
6th ~ Mind Your Language
7th ~ Spongebob Squarepants
Mr Bean ~ Rowan Atkinson is a bloody genuis. No one could match that rubber-faced Bastard's visual comedy. aaahhhhh back in around 2000, i was watching all of Mr Bean's episode and laughing all the way till I found it hard to breathe. Even watching them now, you'll never get bored watching it again and again. People of all ages loves him because his comedy style is super easy to understand. Even the animated series of Mr Bean are worth to watch!
Friends ~ I was introduced to friends a year ago by my mother when she keeps watching it on TV. I have not watched all 10 seasons though but after watching a some episodes, it deserves the 2nd spot because it is killer funny. In every funny comedy, you have to identify that "stupid" guy because let's face it, they are the funniest as they have no common sense. In this case the "stupid" guy is Joey and he's my favourite character. The downside of Friends is sometimes you do not understand their jokes especially jokes about sex. I guess i have to do IT and then watch the whole 10 seasons of friends so that i could understand their jokes eh?
Kenan and Kel ~ " Who loves orange soda? Kel loves orange soda. Is it true? mmmmmm hhmmmm, i do, i do , i do uuuuhmmmm " If you've watched Kenan and Kel before, you'll understand what i am quoting about. Haha that line never gets old. My friend, Naufal, introduced me to Kenan and Kel this January and after watching all four seasons, I was like, why they don't show re-runs of this instead of Drake and Josh. I mean they are wayyy better than Drake and Josh, plus they are way funnier than the crap at Nickleodeon and Disney. The downside of Kenan and Kel though is you can expect Kel to mess up everything which loses the element of suprise but his super stupidity makes up for this lost. Kenan and Kel is so funny to the point where i had to force to stop my sister from watching it because she's having her PSLE this year. Well here's another trademark line from Kenan and Kel " AAAWWWW HERE GOES! "
Simpsons ~ With 476 episodes and many awards, it's the ultimate comedy to watch with your family after a hard day's work. Homer here is identified as the "stupid" guy but he loves his family really much and when he makes the right choices, the viewers will go aaaaaaawwwwwwww. It's very funny when i've read at Wikipedia which said that Bart is a negative influence to the younger audience though i do not know how to explain to you why I found it funny.
Whose Line Is It Anyway? ~ It's awesome. Why? It's because they're a stand-up comedy and they're the most talented stand-up comedy acts I've seen. I love the prop acts the most because it uses creativity and I also try to come up with my own sketches in my head when they are doing props. My favourite actor is Ryan Stiles though many would argue that Wayne Brady is more talented. I do not know why, but i like Ryan's jokes better although i agree that Wayne is more talented.
Mind Your Language ~ Who knew English could be such a complicated subject? The original run was from 1977 to 1979 and 1986. Though I have not watched the fourth season, it deserves the 6th spot because their confusion on the English subject is a laughing medicine. Anybody wants to teach foreigners in Singapore English? Please recommend them to watch this and they'll think twice before learning English. My favourite character is Ali, the Pakistani guy because he's fued with the Ranjit ( the Indian guy ) is very funny and also because he creates the most jokes. It's a sad thing though that comedies like these are likely to be produced in the near future because viewers might see it as rasict but hey, it's all in the name of comedy.
Spongebob Squarepants ~ " Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? " haha that would be Mr. Spongebob. That's the only comedy worth being shown at Nickleodeon well, maybe except for Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. I love Patrick a little more than Spongebob because his IQ is seemingly lower than that of Spongebob which makes him the "stupid" guy in this comedy.
Well, you'll surely have more than a LAUGH AND A HALF after watching all of it and that's it for today, I'm exhausted and badly need some rest, especially my fingers. C'ya

Reckless Life By Guns N' Roses
The parade was thronged with primary school kids. My friends and I were playing rugby at the parade amidst the crowd. Most of them who were playing rugby there were "mats" ( although that term did not existed that time ) and we were playing it during recess. As Haiqal was running with the ball, only one thing was stopping him from the touchline and that was me.
I moved my body sidewards and "hugged" him by his stomach. Regardless of which, he kept moving forward even though my shoes were almost worn out from friction against the hard concrete brick. Then..........something changed my life forever. I was thrown onto the ground like a carcass of meat by him and i landed on my left knee. What a RECKLESS LIFE ! My left knee was either dislocated or fractured.
For some weird reason, it felt good. I tried to straightened my leg and it was a bit painful. My friends sent me to the general office and i was left in the sick bay. I had to wait for my mother to come and send me to the hospital. Minutes passed and i could not control my bladder. I needed to piss badly. I went to the staff toilet in a wheelchair but i could not pee while standing so i have to pee in a bottle which one of the teachers gave to me. After pissing, the teacher teased me and said that i have a really huge bladder and as i looked at the bottle, it was 3/4 full which shocked me. That's the longest i've held and i still could not beat that record hahahaha.
After being treated at the hospital, i had to learn how to walk with a crutch and had to strenghten back my left leg. The most "shiok" part was when the bones and joints locate themselves back to place when i was sleeping. The feeling is like when you are cracking your fingers for the first time. Up untill now, my right leg is bigger and longer than my left which affects me for the worse when i'm playing soccer. Due to that injury, i could not get into the Fuchun Soccer Team which i regreted the most :( .
