The Sims 3 - Cow Plant

 Yes. The man eating  cow plant from The Sims 2 University has come to The Sims 3------------Store as premium content. 

 The cow plant in sims 3 is pretty useless (at least in my game). After waiting for 3 to 4 days of starving the plants, without petting/playing with/ feeding, the plants will start to show its cake bait to attract the unsuspecting sims who are so greedy for the cake.

Until now, I still not sure if being eaten by the plant will bring death or not, because every sims who were eaten in my game would come back again somewhere in the sims world after a while or being regurgitated by the plants. I searched through The Sims 3 Forum and some stated that death by cow plant is 50/50. If death happens, the ghost will come back in purple color - which is the colour for ghosts who died from starvation. Cow plant cant really eat children and old sims though, as these category sims who being swallowed would be vomited out by the plant. Also, cow plant wont eat stinky sims!! So smart ehhh... 

Look Cow Plant in action!

You can Praise/ Scold your cow plant after it has successfully eaten the stupid sims who came close to it. The praises and scolds will either encourage or discourage the plant from continuing to behave that way. The  Elixir of Life (as what The Sims 2 called the extract from milking ) enables the sims who consume it to return to their beginning of their life stage!

The Cow Plant comes together with other useless items like cow plant arcade machine (meh, i have plenty of arcade machines from The Sims 3 Late Night, other store sets), cow plant spring rider (meh again, i have many spring riders from The Sims 3 Generations and store sets too) and the rest are just decorations..

 Buy the set from The Sims 3 Store if you dying to have to plant in your game!

Happy Simming! And Merry Christmas!

Aikido and I

This semester is coming to its end and so is the Aikido lesson that I am taking. (it is officially ended since we already performed today during the Festival Pendidikan Kokurikulum).

Ok...I am going to write this entry in Q&A form.
So, here we go...

=======================================================================================================

Q1: What are the reasons that you choose to take this course instead of others?
A: I want to learn something new. (CEH...other subjects also new to you and you can also learn new things la). This is not the sole reason I am taking Aikido actually. When I was trying to sign up for co-curricular activities, already many interesting other activities like swimming, photography, etc have already fully signed up by other students. Hence, this left me not much choices to choose from. Even, if there were places for swimming/photography, i would not choose them as I know the basics and there are not new for me. (CEH...you only say this because you fail to eat the good grapes and now you are saying the grapes are sour only).

Besides that, I really want to do something outside the classroom, something which involves more physical activities instead of being confined in classroom again after daily classes and learn something theoretical. I want to sweat, to stay active and keep fit at the same time. This led me to making decision of choosing eventually.

=======================================================================================================

Q2: What is Aikido actually?
A: Aikido (合気道) is a Japanese martial arts created by Morihei Ueshiba. It is rather softer type of martial arts as compared to those more aggressive ones like Karate and Taekwando. Also, Moriher Ueshiba's goal was to create an art that practitioners could use to defense themselves while at the same time protecting the enemy from inflicting injuries.

Throughout the lessons, Sensei Tee (he taught us Aikido in this semester) always emphasizes on circular, perpendicular movements which can be used to redirect the attacker's force and momentum thus conquering the attacker with very little physical strength. Thus, this means that a small person is able to move a big person if he can perform Aikido techniques effectively.

To read more about Aikido, please visit Wikipedia or Aikido official webpage.

=======================================================================================================

I just write two questions for now in this post. I will try to write more in coming entry/ries talking about what I have learned in Aikido classes and may be about the performance on Ko-K Day.

Some pictures from The Sims 3 Pets

 Obviously he is new to this horse riding thingy.

 Look how scared he is!

 Starry starry night in Appaloosa Plains.

 He cant sit properly on the horse.

 See?

 Nice landing!

 Those "awwwww" moments when you spend time playing with your cat!

 Spooky red ghost horse spirit drifting through the library in town.

 Cats need to fulfill their "scratch" need.

 Another "awwwwww, sweet" moment

 Dogs like to chew on toy!

 Dogs can converse to each other too!

 See what is she wearing?? Pet costume! Used NRass industries' master controller mod to change The Pet Shop owner daily shirt to this awesomely adorable outfit in order to match her job!

Deer Deer Deer...Bouncing around the dusty town.

 You can pet them but you cant add them to your family.

Reading bed time stories to his neighbour child. This is creepy!!! (feature from The Sims 3 Generations)

Can you believe this? It is over!

Can you believe this?? Finally I have done the orthodontic treatment that lasted 3 years to correct the very misaligned crooked teeth that I have had since small. Though the teeth are now in their better positions, I still have 2 more procedures to go before I can go flashing my FAKE smiles to dazzle all of you. LOL.

I am quite satisfied with the result of the whole treatment. My dentist, Dr Steven Lim is always so meticulous in attending to the problems I have and the most important thing is he is such a gentle man! HAHA...I am not talking about his behaviours, I mean he never make me feel uncomfortable when he is working in my mouth! I dont feel any great pain. I must admit that I have quite a relaxing treatment throughout these 3 years as I dont really experience many complains as seen in other orthodontic patients.

haha...I know I am always being wordy in my blog....ok...I should shut my "hand" up...scroll down for pictures.
(Please be warned that you dont want to see the pictures if you are eating or not ready to see something that might scary you out of your wits)

Here we go

This was how I looked like 3 years back. I cropped away the top part above the nose to hide away my ugly face! I dont want to put you extra stress when you are already so shocked of how horrible my teeth looked like. 

Told you my teeth were really crooked. Not even one tooth was in the correct position. I even have the "vampire" like tooth on the top right of my mouth and it overlapped with other teeth. (see the picture above). Please dont complain about the yellow teeth I have. I am working on them to make them whiter now.

The upper jaw. 

Look how my front teeth grew in a V-shaped position which was caused by the lack of space in my mouth to hold so much teeth inside.

 The lower part. 

Very misaligned too!

::::::::::::::::But that was my past. I am no longer having that crooked teeth in my mouth anymore!::::::::::

 Now I have the confidence to smile in front of my camera!

 Though it may look fake, I am working on it to put on a BEST SMILE.^^

 Don't you think there is so much improvement before and after of my treatment?

Don't You?

All in November (2011)

Long time no blog. Haha..It is about one month already since I last blogged. Just a short updates of what happened to me in this November. (this month not even end yet!)

Ok...here is my first ever experience going to Singapore. I love Singapore. It is so much prettier than Kuala Lumpur ( i dont say it is prettier than Malaysia because I make the comparison purely based on these two cities only as I did not get to explore other parts of Singapore which is not urbanized)

Here is me looking out of the window on the way from Penang airport to Changi. 

The weather was nice that time. Very beautiful sky. Could see many fluffy clouds drifting past me. 

Oh...I wonder how it is like if i lay down on them.

the surrounding becomes more and more "misty" (dunno what word i should use here)

Until i cant see anything outside the window. it was complete cottonly white blur.......

..................................

Then I reached Singapore la. (haha..sorry for the sudden ending)

Stayed at my sister place for 3 days over the weekend before my mid semester break ended. Didnt get the chance to fully explore this new place as we (my family and I) arrived late in Friday. On the first night, we just had our dinner and then slept after that. Too exhausted by the 40 minutes flight. I think?

Then on the second day (Saturday), my sister brought us to Sentosa. It was raining continuously for the whole day and so we cancelled our plan to go into Universal Studio (plus my thrifty dad disapproved us to spend so much money in a place like that). May be I could go there next time when I go to Singapore again with my friends?

Nah...My eldest sister. Do you see any resemblance between us?

My youngest sister who is so dark already but still enjoy going out to camping. I dont see any similarities between 4 (oh yea, i still have another lil sister) of us loh. Dunno la, may be I was collected back from the dumpster?

Yeay Universal Studio....Nah. I did not enter to visit though. *somber face*

The merlion in Sentosa.

Then at night after our dinner, we went to visit Marina Bay. I really love this place because of the water, city lights, buildings, clean surrounding (this is so important to me). 

And I had the chance to see the Wonder Full performance. To know what more about performance, visit their website here. Basically it is a show comprises of a lot of stunning lighting, water spray (fountain like...is it?), projection of images on these spritzed out water droplets which becomes the screen for the images.

This is how awesome the water show! Dont you think it is awesome?

 Booooo...guess my photo cant justify its wonder!

** Look at the pictures below taken from other website to see for the wonder I told you.

 Nah. Images formed on water droplets.

 Spectrum color of lights +  myriad of patterns formed by water "spray" 

That was the end of second day in Singapore.

Then on Sunday, after having my saltily scrumptious (really salty loh...the chicken tastes like it is sprinkled with salt after it is done) China Food my sister and I rushed to the bus stop to take a bus and back to KL. My eldest sister loves to do thing in rush, so I expected I would arrive late or (nearly make it before the bus departs) and we really ended up late lo, a few minutes before the bus drove away. And we were drenched through our skin all the way to the bus stop because of the heavy rain. Damn, I sat in the air-cond bus in my wet shirt and this is TOTAL MADNESS. But, after that I still safely reached KL again after 7hours of journey!!!

(sorry for the lack of pictures for this trip, because my sister was responsible to take all the pictures and I kinda lazy to filter the pictures..I just uploaded here those i took with my noob digital camera and phone)

=======================================================================

OK..move on to the next events.

Went to watch "You are the apple of my eye 那些年" with my fellow chinese juniors and seniors at Mid Valley. See how big our group?? And they were all so united to wear the club baby blue shirt to go there (except me and my friends...we are those rebellious seniors...opppss)

Movie review: I dont really enjoy the movie. It is boring. The story line is in my expectation though I never read the original novel before. I think I cant feel the vibe that the movie should give me partly because of the big crowd I went to watch with. I was quite "annoyed" when they laughed at some scenes where I dont find them funny at all. @@...I was so bored that I started to twist my ankle clockwise counterclockwise halfway the movie and this action was repeated a few times because I afraid i would have fallen asleep if I just sat there and watched the movie without finding its joke as funny.

                             ===================== next========================
Went to support my close friend performing at PT (pesta tanglung, can you believe we are still having tanglung celebration in this month?). Personally, I dont find it interesting to watch any kind of theater. I cant hear what the actors say most of the time and just simply guessing through the whole performance. But, since she is my friend, I gotta support her right? ( I almost gave up my ticket before going)

The theme of the story is human should appreciate our mother nature and love the flora and fauna around us. My friend acted as a old nanny firefly. ( haha..i m not sure what is her character actually)

My newly made friend in this semester. She is my junior, a batch after me. Though she enters University for already 2 years, now I only realize that she is such a funny (and a lot of craziness) person. Look how cheerful she smiled in the picture! so adorable hor?


Then, celebrated a few November born friends birthday. Yeay, finally I can resume celebrating birthday after the warning of my Mom. Lol for the superstition of me and mom. And what is more important in celebrating birthday?? Answer: taking a lot of self absorbed pictures.

Group picture with the birthday boy (the last one). I was the photographer.

Pictures taken at  Pavillion after eating dinner with birthday boy. I love the decorations there. They always put up the best decoration in town.

Nah. Me focusing on another camera while another friend took this picture.

California Gurl themed decorations!

Looking wishfully at the Santa Clause, hoping him to materialize a huge Christmas gift for me out of the thin air.

Colourful

Friends. 

Friends again.

Oh..Just another celebration with a junior (very crazy too) in our hostel

Birthday celebration in Pasta Zanmai. I love this restaurant. Nice delicious Japanese food with affordable price. 

 Happy Birthday Ah Boon!

 ==========================Moving on to the last section=========================
I cut and redye my hair into a lighter shade. Of course, I done it at The School Hair Academy. Please refer to my older post here and here to know a little more about my relationship with the academy. Actually, I was quite bothered initially because right after I recoloured my hair, no one around me seemed to realize that!!! They just see me in a more boyish new hairstyle (which my roomate said CUTE when he saw me coming back from Singapore). But, I grow in love with this color when I see all the photos taken recently, because I am no easily noticeable among all the dark haired people...hahah...sorry if you guys are offended how i address you.

Thanks Oliver for the splendid hair colour which I m so in love with now and the cute hairstyle. I will go back to find you again!

Ending this post with two pictures of me taken in Pavilion (again?? NO!!!)

Remove that hand in pocket style please, it is not cool bitch *written using 9gag style*

My favourite out of all the pictures taken that night!

Oh....what am i going to blog on my next post: Before and After me in my dental braces. Hopefully, i will start to write it soon. 

Thanks for reading ^^. CHeerss
