Maple Story - My way

Hmm.. haven�t really had a proper update for quite some time le. Probably becos there�s not much worthy of updating anyway.

Been finally persuaded/ coaxed/ threatened/ coerced into playing maple Story with my bunkmates� Ha~ currently in the process of becoming a Magician! Hee.. and point to note is.. which decent Magician calls himself Ang ku kuey??? Bwahahaha~ I mean.. seriously, how lame is that?

Gandalf: Saruman, I need to introduce you to this fellow magician of wizardry of
ours.

Saruman: I�ll definitely be honoured! Who is he??

Gandalf: (Pushes forth Yours Truly) Here he is! He�s�.. Ang ku kuey!

Saruman: (Flabbergasted, hand over gapping mouth in embarrassment) Oh�. How
intriguing! Nice to meet you! (Shakes hand cordially)
(Walks over to Gandalf and whispered) I will certainly like some advance
notice the next time you bring someone over. Having a piece of his own
kind stuck between my teeth isn�t exactly very glam. (Picks teeth with
toothpick discreetly and hastily hides plate of Ang ku kuey)

And for those who into Mapl-ing, (yes.. it�s actually becoming a verb already), you will know of the party mode that one can get into� either to train others or to let others leech. Whichever you are happy with. And the hassle of having to toggle between the different modes of communication available. (Namely �To All�, �To Party�, �To Buddy� and �Whisper�) So Yours Truly came up with yet another ingenious way to save party members the hassle. SKYPE!!

Basically, Skype is yet another one of those great freebies that Internet users like us should really make full use of. It is just like the common MSN messenger.. with the exception that instead of having to type out messages to one another, the software uses real-time voice, much like a telephone! And it�s all free!!! Overseas call to someone using IDD or wat not? I say, Skype you! Just Skype!! Forget about those exorbitant phone bills!

And most importantly, you can connect multiple users in one conference call� and with Skype running in the background and Maple Story turned on... Viola!! Instant party talk!! And I do mean TALK. Who needs to type messages to party members in Maple now?? (Haha~ yet another of Keith�s marvelous and ingenious idea.) Imagine playing Maple and yelling to your comrades-in-arms in real time!! How cool is that??? It�s tried and tested, and proven to work!!!

K... just in case you are stupid enough to ask... you DO need a microphone that's connected to your PC.

Ok� you guys may not be convinced with the �yet another� part. Here�s to convince you.

Army guys out there must be most familiar with the scanning of 11bs at POS system at all cookhouses right? But what if you don�t feel like consuming your indented ration?? Or if you are on off and needs to get someone to �cover� your ration?? You ask others to scan your 11bs?? Yes? No?? (I see nodding heads�)

Well, the next time such a situation arise, think of Ingenious Keith!! (Not IK, the Inverse Kinetics shit in 3D animation�)

Anyway, here�s Keith�s wonderful solution.

Presenting�.

The MULTI-Scan Express!!
Image hosted by Photobucket.com


Basically, this is an all-in-one exclusive card that had multiple barcodes of the exclusive club�s members� NRIC on it. And with it, whoever needs help in getting his 11b scanned gets it fast and easy!! And just one person can finish scanning for all in 3 secs flat!! It�s proven, thanks to Jeffery. So, dun be bogged down with having to scan and consume your ration. Set yourself free!! Go for your offs! Apply for your own Multi-Scan Express* now!!

*Terms and Conditions applies
Multi-Scan Express does not come equipped with legs to walk itself to the cookhouse. You still need someone to do the dirty job.
The Ingenious Keith is not to be held responsible should you be stupid enough to blatantly show off the said card to the duty COS standing next to the POS system. Use it at your own risk. Any extras signed due to negligence on the part of the user is solely due to the user�s stupidity. And dun get stupid people to use the said card, for goodness sake!

K.. if you do have any talent in the fine art of Photoshop and the likes, you can stick to the ol' school method of photocopy-cut-paste . Just get the 11bs of whoever you want to include and photocopy their barcodes. Remember to label them.. unless you can recall all your friends' NRIC numbers.. And tada!!! Still equally usable.. though not as glam as what is shown above.

Now, where�s my standing ovation now????

On 'off' when you least expected to...

Well, Blogger came up with a new Blogger for Word plug-in for Microsoft Word. Sounds pretty cool and I�m currently attempting to blog my very first entry straight from Microsoft Word 2002. Hope this really works!!


Also, came across this on my friend�s blog.. I know, I know, it�s cheesy, sounds totally gay.. but hey! I was bored k?? Wat to do on a Monday afternoon.. when you suddenly get thrown with an off in the face and have absolutely no way to spend it? !&$@#!! Why can�t they just give us our offs and let us spend it on days where we want to??? Irritating.. irksome� idiotic.

Crush Calculator !!!

Well, don�t click on it if you are not as bored as me then� though I thought the calculations are pretty disturbing� and fairly smart. :P Well, your choice.
