Looking forward to Playing D&D during this upcoming Dec holidays. so far i have 2 Players besides myself. the Invitation to join in the fun, is still open. dont worry if u arent my fren or i have nvr seen u in my life, we can be frens as we play, n to play we will eventually see each other, as horrifying as that is.

i cant believe tho how difficult it is to find Players. there is no yahoo/Msn/google/any other site u can think off, that caters to DnD players in Malaysia looking for players or DnD Parties.(party= party of heroes, i come from online gaming world so sue me!)

every single one is for us or uk, or australia.. i just cannot bring myself to believe there are no DnD players in malaysia, i will kill something first n a mosquitoe is not counted. n the only ONLY site i found that had something to do with DnD in Malaysia was dndkl, but there are only a few members, most are comics corner people, site has not been updated in quite a while, n there is no option to look for players. in other words, everybody there is either playing already, quit already, and the site tho sounds general, is for specifically 1 DnD Party, that is the one that runs the site.

its crazy.. n i m getting a little stressed out. neway holidays are coming very soon, n then i can lepak n play all i want.

the invitatin to join in my DnD Group is still open. hurry n contact me.

did u ever notice that a lot of people walk backwards, or at least with their eyes turn to the left or right while they are heading straight towards u?

have u noticed? well i just have and i made a note of remembering exactly how many do so. see i like to conduct experiments. especially in shopping malls, coz hey everybody goes to 1 at least once a week. me, i live next to one, so its no difficult task to go there.

anyway i went to 1U with my huge bag, and laptop, and as i just got to the waiting area at the carpark lift this girl walks backwards straight into me. n i dont mean a 5 year old girl i m talking 20+ blind as a bat though she is completely capable as far as sight is concern. if it wasnt for my quick feet, u'd have feet, hands, bodies, bags, and computer, spread all over the place. lucky, yes? well i always believe luck comes in 3's and mark my words, it has been proven many many times.

then i go into the shopping complex. i go into burger king for lunch and guess what i find more people walking backwards. i go to the counter, and this guy who is not carrying anything, and with a group of frens nearly bangs into me. he is talking and laughing, and has his head turned.

i find it funny but terribly annoying. so now i have had my lunch and i m walking towards the Mph bookstore. i always go there, cant help, the temptation to look at the latest fantasy children and adult books is just too strong. i notice this girl and her 2 frens walking down the main walkway. and she has her back turned to the oncoming traffic. i use my super powers and swerve all the heavy 3.0kgs of com and ++ of bag etc, that would be 3 counts to fatality. hahaha.

so out of dangers main walkways with slightly brainless blind fools. so i go into the bookstore. i m carrying all my stuff, a free MPH magazine, and 2 paperback books, and walking aound checking other stuff out, when a guy walking fast or maybe running, bumps right into me, this time, books and paper, flew even though i jerked backwards. grumbling and just short of giving life to a string of flowerful, and colorful insults and curses fluently in multiple languages (Chinese, English, Malay, jibberish, Chaif language and several others including animal talk and crow language), i stand up gather my stuff and leave to pay. he also didnt stay very long, he carshed into me, the gave sorry, and sped off, before i could get up, not to mention he didnt help.

ok so now i m sad and pissed and a little exasperated. so i go to the car, and then the 2 large cups of sprite and orange juice which i got free from burger king, and had been carrying around the whole time fell and crashed all over the floor. if i wasnt quick on my feet, my spotless bleached white jeans would be turned a horrendous yellow color. so i went to clean up, and then take the cups back to burger king to get a refill.

after i get my refill from the lady at the counter. i start walking back to the carpark to get out of the complex. as i head there, i pass this huge escalator. there are a group of girls stepping off the escalator, the first of which was walking backwards, straight into my drink filled hands. i swerved to the right completely and miss them. then i walk on n boom i find another backwards walker coming down the main thorough fare. she was walking with a guy i think, but she was going to crash into me, because she wasnt looking at where she was going.

now i m really confused, and pissed a little. so i go home. then i go to Mines which is very closeby, to watch a movie and have my dinner. i go to the foodcourt that newly opened. i go and buy hot boiling sizzling mee. as i take my mee for the counter and head to my seat, this group of young stupid guys, all looking anywhere but infront of them start walking towards me. hell i m pissed and if the bang into my food, first i m gonna kick their butts, with a torturous tongue lashing the likes of which they have never seen before, followed by a pain of death sentence if they do not buy me back my lunch, and apologize by kissing my feet and licking the floor. HAHAHAHAH. anyway to save them from a cruel fate, i shout at them "pls look where you are going!!" they stop and everyone stares, and i walk a way.

i m great at drawing and leaving attention. so i didnt care. bottom line is that alot of people are walking backwards, or walking straight without looking at where they are going. it doesnt matter whether u have frens around you, or your talking to them or are just being a blind idiot. u must look at where u are going, banging into a people carrying expensive hardware like computers, or spillage like drinks in paper cups, or hot stuff, like sizzling mee straight from the fire is very very stupid and dangerous. at best all you'd cause is some dropped food and a little scalding, at worst you could end up with a terrible tongue lashing, cursing, sent straight to the cleaning people, have to pay double to repair damages(which can be 10k plus if a computer is damage) and last of all a serious butt kicking from me.(i mean physically, ie my foot in ur butt, and my fist in ur face. yes fist not slap.)

So look at where u are going!!!!!!! btw the invitation to join my D&D team is still open i, ill only decide around December.

hello again.. this week is madness. coming to end of term in college,n life is madness. so i havent had time. ok this is my invitation to come play D&D with me.
i was thinking about the holidays. Holidays usually mean lots of time wasting doing pointless things, like sleeping n playing computer, eating, n probably getting fat over christmas. not that any of those things r bad or really pointless mind you, coz i enjoy doing them too but my point is we are normally bored out of our brains, n probably only meet up with frens 1-2 times during the long break.

so i came up with a solution. i wanna begin a D&D game. for those that dont know..D&D stands for DUNGEONS & DRAGONS. It is a PAPER AND PENCIL ROLE PLAYING GAME.
for those who have no idea what i m talking about.. it is a game where a group of frens come together to play characters in a story. like the rpg com and PS2 games out there, except you are playing it face to face, in a group n there is no com involved. to play a player in the group comes up with a story. this player is called the GM(Game Master)or DM(Dungeon Master). this person is the story teller, he/she makes up the adventure(story, monsters, quest, treasures) n takes his/her players on adventures.

the idea is to get 4-6 people together, 1 will be the DM and the others Players. then everyone goes on adventures. the role of DM can be passed around to spice up the game n to let everyone have a chance to be DM. i really love this game because there is so much potential. it benefits everyone playing, because:
a) as a player, you can pretend to be someone entirely different or be urself. u can do things u could nvr do. u tackle problems, solve puzzles,and kill monsters. at some point maybe even surprise urself.
b) as a DM, you make an entire world. you get to play everyone in that world(apart from the players). you can be the lord, the servant, a farmer even the king. u make the world. u give challenges to the players n take them on a ride.

playing this game opens a new world. this game increases creativity, imagination, quick thinking, reasoning skills, inovativity n initiative n builds confidence. finding the power to blow up 5 orcs in 1 fireball really boosts confidence lvls when u realise ur actually quite powerful.(this last bit is especially for su.)

if u wanna join or noe more about this game, send an email to alexian_jounin@msn.com or msg me via MSN Msger or just write it in a comment at the end of the post.

TO JOIN: MUST LIVE IN MALAYSIA, IN KL OR PJ, HAV TRANSPORT TO GO OUT, HAV NO PROBLEMS WITH MEETING UP FREQUENTLY. all that is very important, because to play this game we need to meet up, as time goes on maybe more often as it can get quite addictive. also i can only handle about 4-6 MAXIMUM PLAYERS (including myself) so 1st come, 1st join.

ok now for the info post i promised. i've noticed in college magazines, and newpapers etc that they have no idea what is a good anime and what isn't or the key factor to tell whether the anime is trully good stuff, mediocre or so drastically unimaginable damned that just saying it to any anime fan would have them running around screaming their head's off or go non-terminatable full blown insanity with a belimic complex everytime a sound is made. so to remedy this and to help new and old anime fans everywhere, and also those who think watching it is uncool, i will write about some methods to find whats good and how to find out about more good animes that are around.

firstly i live by this saying, (which was told to me by my grandfather, when i was little more than 3 years-old and sitting in the living room watching the 5.P.M cartoons before the evening news.)" YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD TO WATCH CARTOONS."
now then, all u sceptics, and cartoons haters etc, go dig a hole and bury urself now or join the club and start watching cartoons and animes, because i m too old for cartoons is not a good excuse. if my grandpa can watch and enjoy cartoons, then u r either daft or just plain dumb.

magazine and newspaper writers are writers in their own right, and brilliant in their own imagination and all that, but the problem is these people do not happen to be anime experts. i define expert as somebody who has at least 40-50 animes under their belt, own at least 30 anime series sets. and can name up to 15 different animes off the top of thier head, and can name at least 1 manga writer whose work got turned into anime. i term myself as a anime maniac because i have shelves of animes and i would say i noe my animes well. anybody out there who is my fren would understand. every other time they call me or sms, i wont reply or reply saying watching anime not free.

ok now to the point. animes are japanese cartoons, that have wonderful drawn characters, sometimes has 3D animation of fight scenes and battleships, have humor, tragedy, suspense, and will make u laugh n cry n everything in between. they are also mostly in japanese with english subtitles, unless u bought a really old one that has been dubbed in english.
most fans would say to not get the dubbed versions of any anime. i will tell u otherwise. if u want to get the dubbed one go ahead. but be warned some dubbing is very very bad. and some dont make sense at all. and in english, u cant understand the japanese jokes like pun. i have a few animes with english dub, and they seem great to me. however in japanese the same anime was dramtically different. EX: a character in japanese sounded like a wellbred japanese highborn, who became a western country hick in english. so be warned. with that said, not all subtitles are perfect either. some have misspelled names, and can be badly translated.

i noe some people dont understand y anime watching is so great and cant see the reason why fans can enjoy reading subtitles all day long. but anime is much more than that. anime brings really good graphics and very pretty pictures together and often out of this world stories. and about subtitle reading is that u dont realise ur reading it after some point. its like watching a korean or cantonese or mandarin series, when u dont understand the language. it doesnt really matter , the subtitles just help u flow with the story, but its wats going on in front of ur eyes u pay attention to. for EX: if the protagonist's mother dies, u cry or feel sad, if the hero and heroine fall in love and get married u feel happy, if there is a fight scene u get excited etc. its the same.

now there are many genres of animes, like there are many for movies and music. i suggest however that anybody who begins to start picking out animes to watch themselves be at least 13. for while very little foul language is used, young kids might get disturbed by the often used ecchi humor used in animes. i say 13, because in my experiance my 12 year old cousins already noe the human anatomy, and four letter words. my own preferance for anime genre is super power, humor, adventure, fantasy, samurai, and the japanese school types.

if u r brand new and have only found out about anime through me or have never picked anime(at least a good one) before let me give u 1 very significant tip that will help u throughout ur life as a anime fan. that is if the opening theme to the anime is good the anime is probably good. singers and bands who make good music rarely ever agree to having their song put on a B or C gred anime. now u may be asking wat is good anime opening theme song and where can i find some of these songs. u should go to www.gendou.com. it has all the latest anime music around, and u can download it and listen to it, go for those with very high ratings n u cant go wrong. u will be able to see the name of the anime in the second column from the left. remember to register and and sign everytime, and help donate if u can.

next if u r like me u will want to watch the latest animes coming out, and keep regular updates on whats good and whats coming out and when. to get this kind of info go to anime databases. like animenetwork, anime info, or anidb. i use www.anidb.net . for the other 2 if .com doesnt work, try .net.

to know what u like u havta try a few animes. after 10 or so u would noe wat u like and dont like. if u have trouble then try watching the site's top ranking animes. this is a very good way to find new or old but good animes. however if u have never watched animes before, or have just started, i suggest u find frens who do watch so they can help recommend and lend u some, and to read reviews, etc before targeting and buying any animes. i will periodically give a few reviews on: my fav animes, some of the good ones and some stuff thats not so good.

also i suggest u start a to-watch list. so that u can keep track of wat u have seen, wat u want to see, and animes that u dont know whether it is good or not but sounds interesting.

ok now u know more about animes. go out there and try a few. as i said, if ur new to animes borrow your nearest fren's anime who is a fan and watch first, get introduced to new animes through them, and find places to get these animes through them. when u finally think u noe what ur doing then only go buy for urself. this is mainly so that u will not waste money on animes that look nice but is totally not ur taste.
ok today i m gonna start with a slight ranting, then later i'll put up another post thats more info based. yesterday my car got towed by the MPSJ. for those of u who dont live in malaysia or dont understand english lettering, its the subang jaya city hall association thingy, the people who wish they were cops so they could saman u for RM500. they are the ones where if u see their parking ticket on ur car's windscreen u take it, tear it up , n throw it outside ur window, or use it to contain flem..
they towed my car because SUC (the university doesnt use SUC because tha will tell all prospecting students and customers how sad the uni actually is, so they use SYUC instead) had no parking. inside college its RM2 perentry, it should be free after all we are already paying tuition fees, and outside almost 15mins walk away is the elephant walk parking run by the college that is free, but absolutely pointless if u r running late for class or its raining. they close or block up the inside carpark, and the elephant car park was full. and they will clamp ur car if u park it on the teachers parking, that is the front row in the inside carpark. though there is no sign that says so, n no license plate numbers, no names etc, they will just turn up suddenly n decide to clamp ur car and then fine u later when u try to leave. so with all my options closed i had to outside to the industrial area to park where all the mechanics are. and if u drive and keep ur eyes open u should noe that mechanics have a habit of parking thier car on another lot, blocking off all lots around their shop, and leaving tons of non-moving scraps of metal that used to be cars lying around in parking lots along the road. in the endthere was no parking either. if my classes were to end b4 5 i would double park outside the photostating shop, and leave before anybody can come to complain, but now my classes go on till 6 sometimes 6.30. so i cant do that. so i got no choice i had to park at the end of the road, along the bend to the traffic light which is about a hundred metres farther down. so my car got towed and i had to pay RM 140 to get my car back.
i feel SUC (SUC is actually much easier) should pay me back and then add another 100 for cuasing me the inconveniance of having to sit lrt, taxi, bas, and KTM to get home and then come back in the morning to get the car, and another RM50 to my friends who had to help take me to and fro yesterday to find out what happen to my car. i feel its not fair that they give students absolutely no parking and force us to park illegaly and than fine and coz our cars to be towed and fined because they give us no parking. its not right. u should not be able to prosecute anybody if u do not give them the opportunity to do the right thing.
i feel cheated and feel really annoyed and irritated by all this. if they dont give me a praking space what m i to do then? make jet boosters and park in mid air, or make like a bird and park in the trees? they are such supreme and unchallengeable dolts that talking to donkeys would get me faster action. i've also noticed that though my uni is already terribly incorrigible and filled with entirely brainless admin and board of directors,(because they claim the uni is by the students for the student, but all i see is money in the board of director's pockets, poor facilities, waterless toilets, drity corridors, a tiny little canteen that sells unheathly food, and water dispensors that give out mud colored water.) they should buck up and make things better, or resign and let us the students handle the things we find completely lacking.
however terrible my uni is i found out there are even more uni, and colleges that are even worse off. like only 2-3 toilets in the whole building absolutely no parking lots at all, no canteen or restaurants nearby, and some even in the middle of nowhere whose students are probably forced to eat grual everyday like prisoners, though i think even prisoners get better than oil filled fried kuey teow where when u tilt the bowl u can find litterally at least a few 100 ml of plain oil. and the latter does occur in my uni too. this entire post is readible by anybody interested in reading it. and if the people of SUC read it i hope they take not of all their short comings and make amends of it. to all new n propecting student, absolutely do not stay in the dorms. my friends place gets regularly flooded every few weeks.

hello.. this is my first blog, n my first time doing something like this, that is putting my thoughts on the web for ppl to gawk at. of course i should be charging you RM0.50 for every word u are reading, but blogger does not let me set up a charge system. so u r luky.

ok, so u now noe u r getting this free n i cant charge u for this, n that i have nvr done this before we can begin. wait did i mention that i m doing this because i had nothing better to do, pure curiousity , n because most of my frens do it, n i keep getting annoying updates on their blogs in my email.. yes to all u cheeky little irritating. **$%&^#!?<>}{#(*#$.... well u noe who u r, this is REVENGE!!!! MUAHAHAHHAHA... (that btw is my signature laugh, if u copy it without my conscent i will come out from the com and kick ur *&amp;$^#&^*^&*#$&%*@()_@*. u understand perfectly,right? of course u do, or u'd be one of those riffraff sitting around, sniffing and not in front of a computer. so u must at least be able to read letter symbols.

right now to get started. I M known by many different names by many different groups. among these names is my most frequent net name: Alexian which u can see up there somewhere. other are Deckan, Nilgwathiel, Narquo, Incandescent, TaQi, Valeric, VC, etc. n the list doesnt ever get shorter. so to make life difficult for u, u can call me Alexian or Lexie'. if u noe me, by some way or another then u can any or my alias names. if not the 2 mentioned above is more than enough for the likes of u.

i m not a old hag, n not a fledgling kindergartener. so no mrs, and no miss. n i m not a man. if u happen to noe me u would noe i m evil. i like to be evil, but i m nice at the same time. u cant be evil to people, until they start to think that u r a good person. i m someone who is brave enough to finish what i start(at least what i feel is important), i m stubborn, head strong, and i m not afraid of taking action. ok enough about me, u'll learn neway.
now to business. i m gonna use this blog to:
a) talk about animes
b) the latest cool games for Ps2, n on9 games. (when i feel like it)
c) post little chapters and ideas for a story written by me (under construction now)
d) books i've read or looking forward to reading
e) about the unfairness of the world
f) everyday occurances that seem interesting to me
g) rant and vent my frustration, and give a little of my thoughts for u to pickle over.

i would like feed back on all the topics, in the form of ur thoughts and ideas. i might or might not agree with u, but thats ok, ur free to give me ideas. however i expect u to give me no rude comments, no meaningless horse manure that is either immposible or something that u little spineless creatures cant do urselves, and most importantly no cursing and swearing and four letter words etc. u can say shit, n damn, n bloody too since it became pg13 in harry potter. but words like f**k are just words that ignorant, mentally challeged everyday idiot who was proabably in the car behind u horning, or who just got off the elevator a little b4 u, who happens to have no imagination, no inovativeness, a only a passing rudimentary command of spoken language which every other word happens to be f**k. For all i know u could be one of these people in real life, but if u r going to say something, and need to vent frustration in ur comments n remarks to me at least take the trouble to digg out a dictionary and give me flowery and colorful insults.

ok thats about all i have to say for now. I think that all that is enough of a bite. I'll think of more next time. btw if the only comment u can say now is f**k, dont give me a comment.
