The Sims 3 Late Night

Are you so excited when seeing the The Sims 3 Late Night trailer, where in the bar there is a crowd of people having their great time hanging out, dancing together, drinking or even bar brawling?

Just like almost every one of you. I too was quite anticipating until I got my hand on this new game. Actually, I was quite disappointed when my sims visit a bar/lounge where it is called "Hotspot of the day", but with no even single other sims in the lot. Besides, the operation hour is just too short. Mostly the clubs/lounges/bars are closed at either 2/3/4am. I am so furious when my sims are kicked out of the lot when they are just about to enjoy their night out.

There is a guy whose name is Neverent has come out slight modification to the game so that it will "fool" your computer into giving your club fulls!

The steps are really simple and safe if you follow the instructions below really carefully.

1)Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts

2) Right click the Sims 3 Late Night folder in there.
3) Click properties.

4) Uncheck the "read only" option. Then click Okay.

5) A pop up box prompting you to make that folder writable or every file in the folder. We want everything in the folder to be writable. Click OK.

6) Click Ok again when the message saying you need the administrator rights to do anything with the file.

7) Then go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 Late Night\Game\Bin.

8) Open up a file called "GraphicsRules.sgr" by using Notepad.

9) Click CTRL + A to select all the scripts in the notepad. Click CTRL + C (or right clicking your mouse) and copy the text.

10) Go to desktop and right clicking. Choose "Text Document".

11) Paste (CTRL+V) the text into this new text document.

12) Save the file name as "GraphicsRules.sgr" same as the one in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 Late Night\Game\Bin.

13) Look for the follwing section of code ( it's almost at the top)

seti cpuLevelUber 4

seti cpuLevelHigh 3
seti cpuLevelMedium 2
seti cpuLevelLow 1

change the number at the end of those 4 sentences into something like this

seti cpuLevelUber 4
seti cpuLevelHigh 4
seti cpuLevelMedium 4
seti cpuLevelLow 4

14) Save your file which is in the desktop.

15) Go back to the folder from which you copied the "GraphicsRules.sgr" file just now.

16) Cut this file out and paste it into another folder you like except your desktop. This is done as a "back up" measurement.

17) Cut the file "GraphicsRules.sgr" on your desktop which you just changed the numbers into all 4.

18) Paste it into the folder that you just cut the original "GraphicsRules.sgr" from.

19) You are done! test the game.

20) Check your newspaper to find out which is the hotspot and enjoy you outing seeing a crowd of sims in the same clubs!

21) If something went wrong ( I BEAR NO RESPONSIBILITIES of this), just replace the "GraphicsRules.sgr" in your game folder with your original file.

Hehe. To get rid the problem of the operation time, you may consider putting this mod into you game.

IPhone4 & Me.

The long awaited IPhone 4 has finally available in Malaysia. Everyone is so exciting about this new upgraded smartphone and successor to IPhone and IPhone 3GS. The sleek and sophisticated did manage to grab my attention! I was so fascinated as my classmate, Joo Ean suggested we buy the new phone together. Since my current mobile phone, K800i looks quite old, unattractive and dull, I had this sudden urge that burgeoned rapidly within me when Joo Ean told me about her plan.

However, after mulling over and over about the pros and cons of buying the iPhone, I had to convince myself it is unworthy for me. I mean, it is not so suitable with me and somehow I feel that it is unnecessary for me to spend this prodigious amount of money to buy this highly-coveted phone.

Buy me or not?

I can only think of 2 advantages over the many many disadvantages. Here’s what I had been thinking:

Advantages:

1) its design is sleek and attention-getting. Everyone would turn their head when they see me using the phone (you’re so vain!)

2) I felt that it will always stay in trend

Disadvantages:

1. I won’t use up all the applications in the phone, they will be wasted. so they become unnecessary for me.
2. If I bought the phone, I will not have any more money to spend on other things like going shopping, watching movie or dining out with friends with sumptuous and scrumptious food.
3. I really can buy many new shirts, shoes, bags….that i really wanted.
4. New camera may be
5. or a MP4 player?

This was what I got after considering much for every aspect and how the phone will cost me (if i ever buy it la). If I subscribe for the cheapest plan in DIGI (RM58 per month), I will have to pay up to 2 years (24 x RM58 = RM1392). This is just for the basics monthly phone usage, without adding the extra that you would incur if you exceed the quota. Besides, the phone itself already cost RM2090. So if I buy and subscribe the DIGI plan, then they will add up to a GRAND total of RM3482 which I can use to buy a decent high end laptop already! I would rather buy the latter because….(no need me to explain the advantages of owning a laptop right?)Furthermore, I would have to scrimp and save in this 2 years because I wont have any money left for each month. No more shopping. No more entertainment. And no more outings with friends.

So, in order to ‘reward’ myself for my self-control act, I went to shopping at Times Square and Sungei Wang with Jun Hui and her sister yesterday. Initially, I was only planning to watch a movie at Mid Valley. But,knowing that they would go to Sungei Wang to Sing K, I quickly agreed and joined them. We had a fun day there and bought a few things too in order to pamper myself.

A chinese zombie black V-neck tshirt.

A skin tight jeans. I had been longing for it for very long time as I am really bored with my old blue jeans.

A pair of converse sneakers. It is out-dated, but they look good with my jeans!

A belt. I got it together with the skinny jeans at Shibuya with some discount.

A Puma bag. Got it a month ago at Timesquare too.

And these were what we had for our dinner:

Small servings but nice. The sauce is simply irresistible!

Apple green tea juice.

My order. A dessert which tastes like marker pen because it contains almond.

Though I cannot own the iPhone, I still can have very much fun with other things!

My Baby

Sorry, to keep you guys waiting for my new updates (as if I have my followers, never mind).

Gonna blog about my baby---my tattooed laptop. Just in case you dunno how it looks like, here is the link http://kakikang.blogspot.com/2010/01/dell-studio-14.html.

Well, it got sick recently...There were some problems with the screen. A bar of lines appeared on the screen and it was most obvious and ANNOYING when the screen trying to display blue or grey colours.

Initially, I planned to call DELL during holiday or semester break because I am worry that it might take me too long time to repair the laptop. But after being convinced that DELL provides good and efficient service, I decided to give them a try. So, eventually, after mulling the problem over some time (apparently this is just an unnecessary act, I should act earlier), I made my call to DELL yesterday. The receptionist told me that I only have to wait for next business day for their computer engineer to come and fix my laptop.

And they did what they promise! Today, a computer engineer phoned me in the morning (9am,I was still sleeping at that time, wtf!) and he had scheduled to come and fix the laptop during afternoon.

I was quite shocked and impressed by his ability to disassemble the whole parts and body of the laptop from inside out! He changed a new screen for me to replace the faulty one and the dvd drive as well. Since, my dvd drive is slot type, it encounters some problems in ejecting discs sometimes. I did complain this to the receptionist and the engineer replaced that dvd drive for a new one too! I also got to know that he was a UTAR computer engineering student. He just graduated for not long ago and works for DELL for almost half a year.

HEHE...sounds damn efficient right? I am considering to extend my laptop warranty for 2 more years, so that I can enjoy their efficient service if any bad things happen to my laptop again.

Essay - Matriculation Programme And Its Challenges

Matriculation Programme And Its Challenges

Studying in matriculation programme is not as easy as I thought. Long before I entered Kedah Matriculation College, I had always heard from my friends and seniors that studying in Form 6 or A-level is far more Herculean than studying matriculation. However, my assumptions were proven erroneous at the very first moment when I stepped into this college. I have encountered umpteen of challenges in my daily life.

Not to say that I am being pompous or vainglorious, I admit that I was once a high-flyer in my secondary school. I scored flying colours in most of my school examinations and even reaped a roaring success when I achieved 11As in the formidable SPM examination. Due to my past success, I reckoned that there would be definitely no hindrance in my matriculation study. I had always taken matriculation for granted, thinking that it would be as easy as pie or plain-sailing for me. But, I have started to change my prejudiced attitudes towards matriculation when I tripped over stumbling stones.

What the erudite principal has always said is so true: "You must put your past success or failure outside the gate of this college. Everyone in here starts with zero. It is your ceaseless effort and persistence that will determine your triumph." Every student has the potential to become the most brilliant one or vice versa. Initially, I felt so much stress when most of my friends at this college were doing far better than me. On the contrary, I  always loused up my quizzes, scored low marks in test and even couldn't answer my lecturers' questions in class. I started to have the negative thinking of giving up. When I voiced out my predicament to my mum to seek for her consolation, much to my surprise, she condemned me for being lackadaisical in my study. She told me that everyone has their onus to commit, and it is my responsibilities to study sedulously and do well in matriculation. I saw tears starting to brim in her lambent eyes after our terse conversation. I felt remorse with my past actions; and fortunately, my mum's advice has not fallen into deaf ears. I have started to turn over a new leaf—I study painstakingly so that I can achieve good result in my study and not to let my mum down again.

Besides that, coming to Kedah Matriculation college has taught me to be independent. Previously, I was so accustomed to my mum's overprotective characters, especially during my secondary school. Every morning, she would wake up early to cook breakfast for me. I was so pampered that she even ironed my school uniform and woke me up every day. Due to her bountiful care, it has become a challenge for me to adapt to this new college environment and lead an independent life. Now, I have to do what my mum had previously done for me in these couple of years. I learn to wash my clothes with my own hands, wake up without anyone's help and try to prepare meals once in a while when I don't want to eat at cafeteria. As I do not have my family to rely on studying here, it is impetus for me to carry out my daily routine all by myself.

Apart from that, I have to adapt with the new teaching methods and environment in this college too. There is a prominent difference between the way of teaching of lecturers at this college and teachers at secondary school. School teachers would explain to their students patiently, until every Tom, Dick and Harry in the class understood them. However, the lecturers at college do not put as much attention to their students. This is due to the fact that there are at least 150 students in each lecture, and it is quite impossible for a lecturer to handle this enormous number of student at a time. Sometimes when I have doubts for a particular topic, I may not have the opportunity to ask the lecturer immediately. As such, it may tarnish my interest to pay full attention in class. Despite that it is vital for me to always be proactive in seeking lecturers' help in order to solve the problems that I encounter during lecture.

Last but not least, I have also learned to accommodate the hostel life at this college. As a Chinese, we are placed in a dormitory room and to share the room with another three Malay roomates. Initially, I was quite intrigued with my roomates’ lifestyle because I did not have any experience living with Malays. The Malays are required to pray for at least five times per day. At first when I just moved in, I was quite flabbergasted to see them perform some actions that I had never encountered before. However, after being explained of what they were doing, I realized that they were actually praying to their God. After the incident, it behooves me to understand their lifestyle and culture more so that we will always stay in harmony.

Studying in Kedah Matriculation College is one of the exquisite experiences that I have in life. Though, I may encounter innumerable challenges throughout this programme, matriculation is the stepping stone to study at local universities. Therefore, I should appreciate the chance that I have and try to perform my best in this programme.

I am so happy with this game! I have been busy myself with his game in this 2 months holiday. It is just so fun to play and torture your sims sometimes.

For those who loves The Sims, please check out my new album - The Sims 3! They are many pictures with funny captions that I snapshot along when playing the game...

20th birthday

Now, I am officially 20 years old already. Age is a very sensitive issue for me, I accept it though as I think this is the time when I get more and more charming! Haha *narcissistic grin*...I have to wish RIBUAN TERIMA KASIH to my friends for their birthday wishing via Facebook. I really mean a thousand thank you (not so much la, i did not go to count, but it was surely a lot).

My facebook, not showing any notification, taken 16 June

I cant sleep throughout the night because I was overwhelmed with joy. This was not solely because of the birthday wishes but also my mum and I had a great time at Mary Kay beauty centre at Autocity. I can still remember I slept at around 5am and wake up at 8am that morning. Then, I had to fetch my sister to Butterworth Jetty. I was kind of sleepy throughout the journey (please dont follow this stupid act)

After fetching her to jetty, I bathed and waited for my friend to bring me out for my big day! We stopped at Autocity first to have our dinner. And we dined in Sakae Teppanyaki & Izakaya.

Sakae Teppanyaki

Soft-shell crab & shrimp with just an additional of RM1 (each) for the Unangi set we ordered.

I wonder why the chef here likes to play with their tools until they make all those noisy "qiang qiang qiang " sound.

My friend paid for my dinner . So my dinner was FREE!

Then we went to Queensbay as we did not have any plan how to celebrate my big day.

Took this in the toilet.

Then at night my hometown friends brought me to Super Restaurant (at Jawi) to celebrate with me (just another free meal with no birthday cake).

Chee S and Mong W (names are not fully spelled)

Tiffany and Hui Q

Chicken Chop dinner set with one soft drink and a scoop of ice cream for just RM10.90. I bet you cant find this price in KL. And food here are much much better than in KL!

Dessert at the end of our dinner. (*Free dinner)

They gave me a Bum Equipment wallet as present. Like it, but i think i would dirty it pretty fast as it is fully white color.

And the person who was standing beside me was Alex Thong. We were born at the same day! He is just younger than me for about 4 hours. I always tease him that he has to respect me as I am older than him and so I am an elder to him. We celebrated our birthday together for the year 2008 and 2009. Although we cant to celebrate for each other this year, I phoned him after I came back from the Super Restaurant. We chatted for 38 minutes. Note...I rarely make phone call to chat with friends unless there are necessary call that i have to make. I phoned him and talked to him for so long because I got the 24 hours free phone call bonus from Hotlink. Thanks Hotlink, but i did not fully utilize this bonus to the max la.

After replying all the wishes in Facebook then I went for bed lo.....As I was too exhausted for my big day and because of seriously lack of sleep the other night, i slept from last night 2am until 11.30am then 1.45pm until 4pm....hmmm...Hope i can still sleep tonight. I don't want this abnormal sleeping cycle anymore!

So overall, I paid for RM0 to enjoy my big day!

17 again....

Just went to Penang to have my monthly orthodontic treatment a few days back with home hometown friends aka my secondary school friends. I think they have not changed much after i leave my secondary school. They still talk the same and behave the same way as what i can remember how they behaved at that time...

I was quite anticipating to hang out with them before this because i want to show them that i have changed into a better person, lol....I am no longer a mean or selfish person like how they felt about me when i was still in secondary school..And, too bad that change also apply to my result too. My academic performance is not as good as before too..Anyway, I quite enjoyed the day with them. We went to Gurney to watch a HAPPY GO LUCKY (a singaporean movie) before going back our small and peaceful hometown - NIBONG TEBAL.

My first year result..

My first semester result for my first year study of Manufacturing Engineering in University Malaya was diabolical. I got merely GPA 2.68 for that particular semester.

So I have promised myself to work harder in the second sem for a better result.

Guess what I have achieved it. But it is just OK, not a quantum leap. The GPA i got for 2nd semester should be 3.24 (since the official result hasn't announced yet...let's hope that the pointer will never drop).

So this means that the CGPA for my first year would be

2.68

+ 3.24

5.92

÷ 2

2.96

Yea...it is just 2.96...I hope I can pull it up above 3, but seems like I fail.

But, I take it as my lesson to keep working harder and harder.

The CGPA shows how well I manage my studies, stress and time. So the average results indicates that I need to put in more effort to have a better result in future.

Some people might think that, it is shameful for me to show my bad result here, but I don't mind how you think, coz I take it as my lesson.

Let's strive!

Big Fish Moment with Pizza Hut

LOL...the reason I am writing this post is to enter this contest which is carried out by Pizza Hut. But, since I am not a Nuffnanger, I think I am not eligible to this contest. Anyway, I just want to share how I felt about the new Pizza - The Fish King Pizza.

( The following pictures were taken in Pizza Hut outlet at Queensbay Mall, Penang)

While waiting for our order, I had captured a few pictures in the outlet. To be honest, I quite enjoyed its ambience. The surrounding is clean and with the big mirrors on both opposite side of the walls, they reflect off the yellowish light which is just enough for me to see clearly without blinding or dazzling me.

The plates and the cutlery

The reflecting mirror with Piazza Hut logo pasted on it (take 1)

(take 2)

Lol, this outlet has so few customers even it was already dining hour 7pm.

See? Aside us, there werent anymore customers.

When the beverages (Pepsi) arrived.

This is always my favourite when dining in Pizza Hut.

I can't help to always pour in more cheese powder to enhance its flavour!

It feels like heaven if you eat these Garlic Bread Stick with the mushroom soup!

The appetizer that we ordered-Hut's Platter (It consists of Tempura King Prawns, Tempura Calamari Rings and Criss Cut Fries)

Finally the highly anticipating pizza arrived. Look nice?

As you can see from the pictures, the Fish King Pizza has 'fish fingers', sliced crab sticks, pineapple, very less capsicums, small pieces of pineapple and mayo sauce. Well, to be frank, it has nothing special with any other pizzas. In fact, as you eat more and more, your stomach will be like heavily stuffed up. Since it was a regular pizza for 2 persons, my friend (notice no 's' behind friend) and I, each of us had to swallow down 3 big pieces of the greasy pizza. We felt like vomit when taking for the last piece of our pizza. We did have our "Big Moment" as suggested by the contest name huh?LOL.

A distant view of Queensbay Mall from car park.

And so we went back afterwards...

Penang Trip with my coursemates (9/5/2010~12/5/2010) Part 2

Time flies. It was already the third morning of our trip. Initially, we planned to go eat "din sum", but eventually we did not go because all of us were sleeping late at the night before and we could not get up early. We had a "sharing session" at that night until like 4am. Below are the pictures taken before heading out for the day ...

While waiting for other guys to bath and gussy up themselves, me and ah Boon "invaded" girl's room. There were not really big difference in our room and the girls' one. The only significant difference was that, they put their skincare products, hair drier and handbags on the make up table while in our room, we had our purses and mobile phones.

Smile to the camera..

Don't you think we look like couple?

At balcony which overlook an endless sea at horizon.

In living with han leong. He likes Spongebob very much. If I am not wrong, the tv program that was tuning in at that moment should be his favourite- Spongebob.

This trip was basically a food-hunting trip. We searched for every good and popular food in Penang. We did not really visit much places. We also got the chance to go shopping at Gurney Plaza and Queensbay Mall (I already forgot when we went to either shopping mall). Besides that, while other were shopping in Gurney Plaza, ah boon, han leong and me went to Red Box to sing K.

And this was the photo taken at Gurney Drive after we had our dinner at the stalls beside Gurney Plaza. We had ordered varied of scrumptious food including : Rojak, Otak-otak (siew fen's favourite), Pasembur, clams, Muar Ji....

Evening view of Gurney Drive.

At night, we visited Hard Rock hotel since we were so full with food and didn't want to go back our apartment so soon.

Seriously, I like this area most! The swimming pool is surrounded with sand that looks like beach.

Take this while waiting for others to ease themselves...

At the lobby of Hard Rock hotel..

Group photo before leaving the hotel...

We had planned a birthday surprise for Siew Fen. Ah Boon, Ah How and Han Leong went back into Gurney Plaza to buy Siew Fen a birthday cake with an excuse of wanting to withdraw money. While the rest of us were strolling along the seaside at Gurney Drive. We were playing poker when suddenly the electricity supply in the unit was black out. I started to panic because I had totally forgotten about our plan. I even started questioning if they had already paid for accommodation fee for our last day. Fortunately, Siew Fen also not realized about our plan.

Happy birthday SIew Fen! Wish you always stay pretty and healthy la....u r funny one...without you, the trip would surely dull....

Happy holiday everyone!
