6Hour Journal .
My third activity for my six hour journal is gaming !
I'm taking my most favorite game i had played to show you guys what is it all about !
Despite having a passion for dancing, Auditionsea gives us the possibility to make friends internationally and locally. Most of my friends are international. It's a way to learn different kinds of personality, people and ways of people. A way to learn how different people's life can be apart from ours, you know? However, despite not seeing them before, it's like I've known my friends for years. What's better? We've been more of a family than friends ever since Auditionsea started FAMS. We've been known as ECCENTRIC~ ever since then, although we had many different names in between such as MCFLURRiES, ICECREAM, .....the list goes on. Yeah. We changed our names a lot but officially sticking to this one and only fam name, ECCENTRIC~, in the end. Believe me when I tell you my love for my fam is so big that its unimaginable. Therefore, I'm even more hooked with Auditionsea. Not to mention the cool prizes in events of Auditionsea which is fun and worth participating. Examples, this blog competition thing, the twitter and facebook members thing and also, many in-game events.
Also, the mall is way more super cool! Besides the awesome new avatars that keeps getting hotter everytime, the mall improved with chatbox and accessories, interiors, guitars. I could practically imagine my character screaming enthusiastically when she enters the mall. Hehehehe. I mean, who wouldn't enjoy the pleasure of shopping or "window" shopping hot clothes? I do. Auditionsea is a chance for me to imagine that I look fantastic in hot clothes in a dreamy body despite me not having a dreamy body in real life. Furthermore, I get to wear clothes that are ridiculous and humiliating in real life but cool in Auditionsea. For example, last year I saw some players dressed up as a Christmas Tree for Christmas.
GM , also known as GameMaster take charge of the server . If any hackers are spotted , or reported , they will do their job as to BAN them all ! GM are not that scary , they are just doing their jobs . I once had a chance to play with them , and i won them without a partner .
Next Game '>> .
If you’ve been gaming for a fairly long time, and by long time we mean that you’ve played a number of different first person games, then you’ll know the joys of playing with dual side arms. Games like Goldeneye and Counter Strike are famous for having this ability, and they’re one of the most enjoyable ways to use a weapon, ever. Counter Strike fans will know that the Dual Elites are notoriously inaccurate, and never really do a particularly good job of killing your opponent. However, they are unbelievably cool to play with, (the reload action alone makes it worthwhile), so they remain popular. Even though much older, Goldeneye had a more advanced take on dual weapons, since you could use automatic weapons instead of just pistols. This made for a pretty incredible and deadly combination. The latest instalment of the Call of Duty series has made waves over the last few weeks for reportedly offering this exact ability, possible as a perk to a character.This is a pretty mouth-watering prospect given the depth of weaponry and incredible graphics that Modern Warfare 2 are reportedly about to unleash onto our screens. So far, very little is known about the dual wielding capabilities of Modern Warfare 2, but it definitely looks possible given that it was seen in a gameplay demo shown at GameCrazy convention. So far, we’ve seen dual Desert Eagles being used, so it remains to be seen what other weapons will also have this capability.This has added yet another element of excitement to the release of Modern Warfare 2, which looks set to be one of the biggest games of the year, if not the decade.
I personally love First Player Shooting Game , also known as FPS for short , It is because of its thrill and Effects ! Just like in a real shoot out !
For My Next Game , it will be~ .
Drum roll please , Nah i'm just kidding .
Counter Strike !
I'm going to tell you guys about the basic skill of planting a bomb , where is it suppose to be planted and why should it be planted there .
First of , the mistake .
So looking at the B site on Dust 2, below is a common spot to plant on a public server, and sometimes during matches. First of all, it’s a nice safe spot whilst your planting and it kinda hides the bomb, right? Well, nobody is going to be running around looking for the bomb, it’s going to be obvious where it is. Now lets say that you plant it there and want to defend it directly. As illustrated below there are only a few spots you can defend from where you can see a guy defusing. What if the CT comes into the site and kills anyone in there, leaving one T left who is in mid? The defuse starts, the T runs from mid doors to B doors, and then has to run to the back of the site before he can kill the defuser. Or, he may go through tunnels, he enters the site, cannot see the defuser, and again has to run through the entire site before he can make the kill. In almost every situation there is not enough time for the last guy to get to the site and kill the CT. That’s one round to the CTs.
The wrong place to plant
Now look at the picture below. It’s a different place to plant the bomb, but the difference is obvious. Many more sight lines become available, making a ninja defuse very unlikely. The two most vital sightlines, though, are the ones from B doors and from tunnels. There are plenty of places for the B defenders to protect the bomb and any Ts who are elsewhere, such as mid and tunnels can easily rush in if needed.
The best place to plant
Secondly , The B Rush !
The B Rush may be one of the simplest tactics on paper, but it is also the easiest one to screw up by doing the tiniest things wrong.
The basic idea is to simply run as fast as your clogs will carry you into the tunnels, never stopping. As the lead man enters the tunel he looks right, to take out anyone on the steps. Without stopping he or the man behind, depending on who is in front after any stair shennanigans will flash into B as soon as they enter the final part of the tunnel. Only one person should flash and that is whoever is in the front. Everyone then piles in and then wipes out anyone in there, gets the bomb down and gets into a defensive position.
The first big problem to this plan is what the enemy does. Sometimes the enemy will have one or two people rush tunnels, if this is the case then the T with the flash in his hands is going to get wiped out. The second thing they could do is to double nade the tunnels, and with everyone close together, this could be deadly if well timed. The third thing is that they could stay put but flash. Now a noob team, time and time again will make the mistake of trying to turn back. They are all blind, the guys at the front are trying to retreat and the guys at the back are trying to go forward with the rush. This leaves one nice huddle of blind sitting ducks, waiting to be pot-shotted by a CT.
This brings us to the biggest cause for a B Rush failure. Once you are in the final part of the tunnel on a B Rush, you do not stop or turn around until you are in the bombsite. I’ll repeat that and put it in bold so that the nubcakes don’t miss it. Once you are in the final part of the tunnel on a B Rush, you do not stop or turn around until you are in the bombsite. This still applies even if you come down with the Stevie Wonders. Once you stop or turn around it throws the team into confusion with everyone getting in each others way. Do not stop, do not turn around. Get in there, visualise the site in your head, try to get to the steps at B platform where you will get at least some cover.
Well, let’s assume that your team got into the bombsite ok, get the bomb down at the front of the site, near the barrels. This allows for maximum coverage of the bomb. A lot of the time in a public server someone will plant in the back corner, under the window, or in the middle behind a box but this is foolish. In these places the bomb can only be protected by one or two positions. If someone was defusing then you would have to run all the way into the site to kill him (or even knw that he was there). By planting at the front the bomb can be guarded by the platform, by B Car, the tunnels and anyone outside B who pops through the door.
Whilst the bomb is being planted the team need to secure the position, firstly by protecting against anyone outside B doors. I am not going to go into how to defend the bombsite in this post, there are many ways to do this and no single one is the best way. I will say that it is handy to have someone in tunnels indicated by the arrow. There may be a seperate article on bombsite defending in general in the future, but not at this moment.
To flash bombsite B, one of the best methods is to rebound it off the wall as shown below. This will get the flash more centrally into the site as well as away from the sightline of the rushing Ts. The Ts should also turn their backs to the flash but whilst still advancing into the site. Once in, spread out and take out anyone in there. If anyone is hiding at the back, double nade it if possible.
And this brings me to the end of my 6hours journal .
Thanks for viewing .

6Hr Journal Part II .
For this 6Hr Journal ,
I'm going to write about my Second activity : Snooker !
Snooker is a cue sport that is plated on a large green baize-covered table with pockets in each of the four corners and in the middle of each of the long side cushions. it is played using a cue and a snooker ball, the white ball is called cue ball and there is 15 red balls worth one point each and six balls of different colours . A player wins a match when a certain number of frames have been won . Snooker was introduce to me by a few of my secondary school classmates . It was my first time playing snooker as i had never gone out late and had fun during the night , because my parents are worried of my well being . I took the opportunity to have fun during my night out with my classmates and a few strangers whom i don't know , so i suggested that we should go and had fun playing snooker . We bought the mrt as we had just ended our working hours , during the trip my friends and i had a tough time finding a seat as our legs are so sore that we could hardly stand up straight . We work as banquet , so we have to stand for a couple of hours to serve our customers food and drinks . On our journey to Joo Koon , we made jokes about some fussy customers that wasn't sastisfied of almost everything we did for them . We even compared who made the biggest mistakes and i beat them all hands down . My friends broke 3 glass and spills on the floor it is same as three point , as one of my friend made a mess while serving its customers which worth 2 points , but mine , i topped everyone . I Spilled 2 Glass of guava juice on a customer which went down his spine and into his undergarment and one orange juice spilled on the floor next to the customer ! I couldn't help but feel guilty and sad , so i went back behind to an isolated area and cried .
We Reached Joo Koon and we walked to the pool centre . During our walk , my friend wasn't looking for any traffic as he crossed the road . I shouted across to him because there was a car speeding toward him ! Luckily , he reacted fast enough to avoid it . My friends & I were all shock and yet happy to see that he is okay . I gave him a good scolding about safety rules he told me that this road isn't used regularly so he didn't care much about it . He has a tough shell on his brain that makes him stubborn .
As we were about to book our table for a game of snooker , i realised that nobody was willing to take out their Nric or Ez Link to book the table . So i took mine out to book the table ! There are 7 of us but one of them decided not to play so we played 3 teams of 2 . I Learnt from my friend the placement of my finger and how to shoot . I didn't got any luck at hitting any balls in ! My team mate blame me for being a noob ! A Noob is define as newb . I wasn't demoralized , but i got furious and focus more ! When it was my turn i looked at my friend and got a ball in ! His mouth was wide open and i couldn't help but laugh at his pathetic face ! I took revenge as he called me a noob , so i called him a dick . At the end we lost to the first team we were up against , so i got to my sit and refresh my memory . I was learning every move they make and every possible way of countering their trick . Soon it was our turn , because the third team lost to them as well . This time , Me , Aloysius , Is back with a plan ! I decided to open the table and pray for the best that one ball will go in to the hole , and one of the ball rolled into the hole ! I was so happy that i posed in front of my friend camera ! I missed the next ball because i lost my focus and became arrogant . My team mate backed me up and shot 3 balls in a row , she taught me some tips of how to block their shot and make it to our advantage . Soon , i became the master of blocking ! I made the first team lose by blocking away the balls that could be easily scored so they had to take the harder ones ! We lost to the third as i didn't had the skill to beat them .
We decided to have a break and closed the table , everyone of us took out some money and equally divide the payment among ourselves . We walked to the nearest Fast Food to grab something to eat as it was nearly 10pm . My friends were telling me that i was better than one of my classmate in my secondary school days . They told me that i will kill myself when he is playing with me , because when he play snooker he move the cue ball every where just to get an aim of the ball which you cannot do unless its a free ball . It's stated in the rule . I laughed and couldn't help to say , i am way better than him . We Joked and tease the girls in our clique and even gossip about other people . The Burger king was the closes fast food restaurant so we decided to buy our burger , we settled down , so i asked my friends why were they so good in snooker . They told me they had been playing ever since secondary three , i remembered the day the asked out to play but i rejected them as i had homework to do , which was piled up to the roof , MOUNTAINS of WORK !
Before i could finish my burger , one of my friend decided to get back to snooker . The rest followed so i had to force myself to walk and eat at the same time . well , it's not actually forcing , it's so common that nobody doesn't walk and eat . I finished my burger before going in and saw my friends already playing . Which team was i in ? I wasn't told , how many games were we going to play ? unspeakable . Who is going next ? I wish it was me , but it was my friend . When will it be my turn ? It's going to take ages , i swear ! What am i going to do ? I'm going to sit and stare at them in the eye to give them pressure ! That's my evil plan for leaving me out of the game .
This time round , i was full of energy so i won my friend 2 time in a row but was cut off from my winning streak by another friend of mine . Man , i'm so pissed then but i told myself everything in life has a meaning and will always be a lesson . So i learnt from it , i engrave it in my mind so i won't forget .
We ended our game , this time i didn't get to pay . I ran out of money , that's why . When i took out my phone and check for the time , i saw five miss call made from my mum , so i rushed home .
I told my friend over the phone , if one day i became a pro , you guys will be my teacher for teaching me the basics .

6 Hr Journal .
Hi Peeps out there :) ,
I'm here to share about my 6 hours of my life with you . My First activity for my 6 hour journal is Night Fishing . I was rotting at home when my parent's got back , and i told them that i was rotting and wanted to go some where else to spent my time instead of wasting it in front of my computer . To my surprise my dad asked if we should go for a fishing trip . By the time he mention about it , the sun is nearly on its way to the horizon . That made me think , i never been to a night fishing trip before , and i know my dad was just joking but i have to pursued him to bring us out . This wasn't my first time fishing , but it's my first when it comes to fishing in a total pitch dark beach . I wasn't clear about how could we even catch anything but i just wanted to have some family time .
I was surprise that my dad wasn't joking and was determine , but he never got his ass off the couch and my mum was nagging at him like a typewriter that never runs out of ink :X . My Dad is all talk no action , but i made the first move . I took out all his fishing gear and started to push him to get his other stuff ready . He asked if i knew how to tie a hook , i said i knew because i wanted him to get off the couch and go to his room and get changed . So he asked me to show him but i couldn't and he taught me how to tie a hook ! He told me that my mum's dad (grandpa) taught him how to tie a hook too ! I guess this is how knowledge are pass on when there's no teacher and no school , families will get together and teach one another what they had learnt . I reckon that's what happen in the past , but in this era it's kinda hard to settle down with our family and talk and meet each other eyes . It's because everyone is just too busy to earn money for their family , they forgot to spend their time with them instead of the money .
Back to our topic . shall we ?
Everyone was in a rush preparing , except for my dad who is enjoying his own sweet time .
My mum got really piss when my dad didn't help preparing anything , he wanted to have a tent there and some foods and drink was a necessary to us , YET the one preparing the most is my mum . I'm guilty , but i did help out . By filling up a BOTTLE of water . God , i feel so guilty .
When we were all done , my dad drove us to changi village to buy the baits for the fish ! FISH FISHY ! That picture was taken when my dad and i were FISHING through the shop for baits and other necessary equipment that we didn't had for our Night Fishing . It was getting EXCITING ! I could smell the Sea ! Even though I'm in a shop with a fat cat !
This fat cat was found lying on the floor making no motion at all ! I thought it was dead , so i got a closer look . It look straight into my eye and got shocked , i guess it's trying to tell me not to disturb it from sleeping .
So i go round the shop trying to find some thing special , something that will catch my eye !
This bait caught my attention , it looked like one of my bait in my PSP game . So i took a picture of it to show to everyone how realistic it look like !
My dad was walking around trying to find the best bait he could find . I guess all he can think of is just fish , tent , beer , overnight at the beach .
But i had something in mind ! Get some picture , try to catch some fish , learn everything that is possible for me to learn on this trip to our First Night Fishing ! Oh Boy ! I'm so excited , this is the second time i said this .
We got to our location , and i was thinking that which weird people will fish during the night . After i saw a line of Fishing rods with green glow sticks on the tip of each rod , i was surprise to see 10 or more people spending their time fishing ! I couldn't control my Excitement and i started to assemble the fishing rod and left the important part like connecting the fishing lines to the rod and putting the bait so that the bait wont get off the hook that easily during my casting of line .
My dad refreshed my memories and showed me how to cast the line and reeling it back in .
My dad asked if i could cast the line further than he had , i tried my best and couldn't beat it !
I was casting and reeling the lines and my parents are having their sweet moments in the tent , while my sister is walking around with a torch light finding sea shells , she was lucky and caught a hermit crab but she killed it . Such a pity that it had to die .
By the beach there were other people casting lines and nets !
I was even more surprise that they caught fishes and shrimp just by shining lights on the water and wait for the fishes to come and then cast the net over them ! The box that the use to hold the fishes and shrimp was almost full ! A shrimp tried to escape by failed as it landed on the sand and struggle . They are like fisherman , with their nets and fishing equipment .
Under the night sky , i look at my float as it drift along the current of the sea . I was enjoying the night sky when suddenly i felt something on the end of the line , i tried to reel it in but i found out half way , it was my dad's line that was at the end of it . It happen three time and i am not surprise as the sea current is only flowing towards my dad's line . I got smart and cast my line away from it but it still got stuck there , eventually i got tired and cast a short line so it won't get stuck again . As i was looking around i saw uncles with fishing rods and a glow stick on their bait , I was shock to see that they cast they line twice as far as my dad did . I wanted to learn from them , so i was like a little bird in a nest and watching other old birds doing their daily stuff . I soon pick up the method but what happen next was never in my mind .
The Line Went SNAP ! I turn around quickly too see if there is anyone looking at me , how embarrassing !! I quickly took up the line and ran back to the tent and told me that i'm tired and i broke the line . My Sister came back with her legs covered in sand and mine was too , so we headed to the toilet to get ourself clean and head back home . I Wish there will be another time for us to get together and have a family trip , so i can learn something new .
