First and foremost, HAPPY HOLIDAY!!!
Let me start with the holidays, the exam was a bitch as usual.
I finished my exams on last week and I still have two week of holidays. There is only one word to describe my holidays, great. After so many suffering days of revision for exams, it finally ended. Hopefully that the exam result didnt disappoint me as I am hoping to pass my pharmacology subject. I think I did badly for that subject. It is really devastating today to found out that my laptop integrated webcam is malfunctioning although I seldom use the webcam.
I downloaded the new Gunbound World Championship.
After testing, I found out that I sucks badly at both the new mobile, the frog and katalion. This is a summary of what I did during the first week of the holiday
1st day: I slept for 14 hours, then played Gunbound WC for a few hours.
2nd day: 10hr of sleep,3 hrGunboundWC, 14 hr TVB series..
3rd day:sleep 6 hours of sleep, 20 hours of TVB series
4th day: 6 hour of sleep Burn DVDs Laundry
5th day: Watch police meet the thief TVB Series, Hair Cut
6th day: Played badminton with melvin, minh and yanh. Bought noodles.
7th day: watchs DVDs that I borrowed from tommy
After the exams, we went out to play badminton in the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre near the Albert Park. Like usual, only a few people went for the badminton outing last Thursday; only melv, minh and yanh. Maybe I really too long didnt play sports, my whole body sore after the game. Especially my thigh, knees, calf, forearm and right shoulder. I seriously forget how to play badminton already. I just found out that I cant play double at all where whoever who teams up with me end up losing because I am more or less like a statue during doubles. Not knowing what to do during the game it really a disadvantage. Used to run back and forward in singles is much easier. It require years of training in order to be good in doubles. We played singles, double and mixed doubles that day. I only won the single games because I took the length of the court as an advantage. I found out that I really need to relearn how to play badminton. But it is really fun although I sucks at badminton
After playing badminton, we went for a picnic at the nearby lake there. Yanh did the food preparations. It was nice until those swans nearby are attracted by the foods and went all over to our shelters and shits all over. The attacks of the swans and pigeons are so annoying, they are aggressive are fights over for foods. Once we started to feed, we have to feed and feed again or else one whole flock will surround us. After that we went on our own ways. I stocked some noodles after that in the city Asian groceries shop.
Melvin stopped by today to drop my present, a belt like accessory and a final fantasy clips CD. I really appreciated it. Later in the evening, a friend of mine, Chow TuckHim message me and I brought him around to RMIT university bundoora campus since this is his last week in Melbourne. He is an Monash exchange student.
Later at night today, I finally able to find a small mahjong game from the internet. I found a few of them, all of them are SNES ROM and thats why that they are so small. I been looking for mahjong game for quite some time already as I didnt really played mahjong for quite some time and I need some practice before it get too rusty. But it is so boring to play against computer, I played on tommy computer before against human on qqICQ china version ICQ. Too bad I am Chinese illiterate.
My parents will arrive tomorrow for holidays and I will welcome them tomorrow at the Melbourne international airport arrival center. Thats all for the updates. Stay tune..
Microbiology Unknown
I am finally able to identify my unknown although I didnt do any further testing to confirm it as it is already the last day for doing the unknown. So I am going to take what I identified as my final identification. I cant be bothered anyway and now since I did so many tests, I am going to omit some of the test that I did that day from my report although that is going to be clashing with my paper. My final identification of unknown is Providencia rettgeri.
Last Friday Last Friday is Melvin birthday and we have celebrated in at the Bundoora square Nandos after our last physiology practical session. We went to the university early that day to finish off the remaining paper crane for Melvin. Yup, we gave him over a thousands paper cranes in a big wine cup. Yanh shouldnt have bought the huge wine cup and bought a jar instead. It just reminds him of drinking. Hopefully he will treasure the paper cranes that we folded especially because most of them is folded by Yanh. Minh even bothered to spend the whole nights writing wishes and bibles quotes in the paper cranes. Too bad that Nguyen have to leave early to attend his work in the city or else she would be able to help with the cake. The rectangular chocolates topping layered with strawberries cake is indeed slightly too big for four of us especially after we finished eating our meals. So we forced Melvin to take back the back home for his next day breakfast and lunch although he insisted. Most of us already full from the meal although I actually havent quite full yet so I cooked a big bowl of chicken porridge with a century egg for dinner myself later that night. Minh finally got a new 8 weeks old pup named cindy for 150A$ on last saturday. She got another male pup named Rocky about a weeks after that.
Happy Mother Day Mother's Day is a time of commemoration and celebration for Mom. It is time for family gatherings, and crayon scribbling. At least, thats what I used to do to make my mom happy. But now that I am far apart with my mom, I dedicate this poem to my mom and wish her all the best.
It was you, Mom
Mom, you know I love you,
And so I have to let you know,
That you thought me how to listen,
And you helped me learn to grow.
Without your love and kindness,
And the support that you provided,
I know I would be lost today,
Or at least a bit misguided
It was you, who held me when I cried,
You who took good care of me,
You who always kept me safe,
You who thought me to be all I could be
Mom, it was you. Thank you for everything.
Last Friday
I played pool with some of my friend on last Friday. I just found out that I almost forget how to play billiards. Stayed back that day after physiology lecture and played pool. We only played a few round but I end up almost losing half of the times. Teamed with Melvin initially and later with Yanh but I am sure she regretted partnering with me lmao. We had a late lunch at Lucio Caf at the bundoora square, which is an Italian coffee house. Minh droved us there and we spend about an hour or two there chatting. I had lasagna and that is actually my first time having lasagna. Melvin treated all of us that day. Later that night I had spaghetti, Italian food with ragu again. I really feel like bloating that day.
Bundooras Computer Swap Market
It is already almost in the afternoon when I wake up. After eaten a light breakfast, I headed to the Bundooras Computer Swap market that is held at Bundoora Sports Centre on the 1st Saturday of most months from 9am till 4:30pm. I do saw minh and nguyen on the computer swap market but they are pretty much leaving by the time I reached. I was initially going to buy a bundle of CD-R but I end up buying a DVD burner instead. I bought a pioneer internal 16x DVDRW DL and a 5.25 inch Maz external casing USB 2.0 for my new optical drive as I dont have space for expansion for laptop. I also bought a bundle of DVD-R 4.7G and an audio splitter after that. I pretty much broke for the rest of the month after buying those although I did got quite a reasonable bargain. I went home after that and assembled it and voila I got a new portable DVD burner.
Broadband in Australia
Ever wonder why broadband in Australia is fall behind third world countries? In Australia the telephone monopoly Telstra artificially limits ADSL speeds to 1.5Mbit/s downstream and 256 kbit/s upstream. It is legally required to sell its ADSL service wholesale to other ISPs, but not its Cable network, which has a speed of 10Mbit/s. Telstra refuses to provide wholesale Internet access to its Cable network. It is widely believed Telstra limits their ADSL speed to 1.5 Mbit/s to avoid 'income substitution' as they continue to earn access fees 10-50 times higher than typical Australian ADSL service fees for older generation 'E1', 'ATM' and 'Frame Relay' services. Telstra delayed the initial introduction of ADSL into Australia for the same reason. It is also believed that this limit is designed to hinder the adoption of new technologies such as streaming video, IP-TV and VoIP, again to avoid 'income substitution', because in addition to telephony, Telstra has a 50% stake in the pay TV service Foxtel. Recently, however, other ISPs such as iiNet, Internode and Primus have installed their own DSLAMs in Telstra exchanges, offering customers speeds up to the ADSL limit of 8 Mbit/s. Internode has released and is now providing ADSL services of up to 12 Mbit/s [1], with iiNet trialling [2] similar services without any firm release plans. Once the ADSL2+ standard is approved for use in Australia (expected to be around June/July 2005), these ISPs can offer speeds up to 24Mbit/s. Telstra have announced [3] their plans to offer ADSL2+ in 2006, but with their current ADSL speeds limited, it is likely their ADSL2+ service will not reach 24Mbit/s either.
Microbiology Unknown Test
In this test, I was given an unknown microorganism that I supposed to identify. I only realized that test on that day itself, and I even borrowed my microbiology practical manual to Yann. Luckily things go well on the first day as I manage to narrow down the organism by some simple test such like gram stain, catalase test and oxidase test. I got a gram positive bacilli (rods) like organism, absents of spores. Flat entire edge colonies.
Unknown number: 61 Incubation conditions NA, 24h, 35C, O2 and there is growth AnO2
Catalase positive H2S productions
Oxidative negative
I did the following further testing
TCA to identify metabolism of glucose, starch, lactose, & maltose.
HBA to identify hamemolysis
Nitrate reduction test.
Motiliy test
Hopefully the results come out good next week as I am assuming it is a Corynebacterium genus, The TCA will be able to identify the species alone.
Will update about the species identified next week. Things don't go well actually, My orgarnism was an Gram negative Bacilli instead of a gram positive bacillim, I did my acetone washing step too fast in the first day and I was perceived that my unknown was a gram positive bacilli. I have to restart all the test the second week while all my friends already find out their unknown. I am really devastated.
I sweared that my heart stop beating for a sec when I realise that. To my horrow, it was one of the hardest organism branches as there is seriously too many steps that I need to carry out in order to find out which organism is that. I already lost hope for this this test. Hopefully things when well next week.

Go learn this up if you havent already. Credits to my brother, Victor for informing me about this wonderful site.
Stronghold Crusaders 2
I used up two gigs of my hard disc spaces just to play stronghold Crusaders. The CD images itself is 1.4 gigs for both CDs and the installation is about 1 gigs, I allocated another 1 gig for virtual memory due to the high demand of swap file/virtual memory. I can hardly run the game properly and I can only run the game at the lowest setting. I prefer the Stronghold crusaders 1 better as it is easier to play and less complicated.
Hibernation
Winter is approaching and it is approaching too fast mainly because of the whether change, it is still quite warm during the autumn and the temperature suddenly dropped. I am having a hard time adjusting my body to the current temperature as I came from all day summer country. I pretty much slept the whole last weekend away. I hibernated for about 20 hours on Saturday, and 14 hours on the last Sunday.
Korean Entertainment Obsessions
Currently I was obsessed with Korean movies, drama and songs thanks to a friend of mine. I got quite a number of the popular and latest Korean movies. They are all soft subbed. I haven't watched all of them yet, especially the last few. I will update on them once I watch them. My Tutor Friend 2004
Comedy Romance
My Sassy Girl 2001- Good korean comedy romance, watched this two year ago. Windstruck - Same director and actor of my sassy girl, but this movie is not as good as it's presuccessor. My boyfriend is type B 2005 The film's premise hinges on the wacky theory that a person's blood type has a direct effect on one's love life. A type-B male like Young-Bin is said to be conceited and stubborn whereas a type-A girl like Ha-Mi is destined to be timid and obedient for the rest of her life. Thus, it's a bad match from the get-go if one believes in the blood type theory. Even so, can these two vastly different people find love in spite of their seeming blood type incompatibility? High school girl get married 2004 This is a story comedy romance movie is based on the korean tale; The silly Ondal and the pyeonggang princess.
During King Pyeongwon's reign, BC 559 - BC 590 there was a man named Ondal who was poor but very devoted to his mother. At this time, the king had a daughter, a princess named Pyeonggang who never stopped crying. One day, because she wouldn't stop crying, the King teased her by saying "If you continue to cry, I will marry you to Silly Ondal." Unbelievably, she stopped crying. From that day forward, whenever she cried, he always said the same thing to her and she would stop. When she grew up, the King tried to marry her into the Go family, but she stubbornly wanted to marry Silly Ondal and said, "Father, you always said that you would marry me to Silly Ondal. Why do I have to marry Mr. Go?". For this, the King kicked her out of the castle. When she left, she took many pieces of jewelry and went looking for Silly Ondal with it. As a result she found Ondal's house, told him her story and married him. She sold her jewelry in order to study with him in practice military arts. Now, Silly Ondal attended a hunting contest every year on March 3rd in Goguryeo. Surprisingly, he won first prize in the contest, and the King was so proud of his accomplishment that he forgave them and conferred upon him the title of General. Silly Ondal served the king at his best, and after King Pyeongwon died, Yeongyang his eldest son became King, reigning from BC 590 - 618. Silly Ondal told the new King that he would go the battlefield in Silla's land (Goguryeo) to get it back. The battle was fierce, and an arrow from one of Silla's soldiers took his life. The other soldiers were saddened by his death and tried to carry the coffin for his funeral. But the coffin wouldn't move. Because of this, Princess Pyeonggang consoled the coffin and soul of Ondal. After this, the coffin began to move and they could hold the funeral service. Silly Ondal had finally won the admiration of the Goguryeo people and had valiantly defended the country against the enemy.
The ancient fable of Princess PyongGang is told in this horribly overrated movie. The modern PyongGang (Im Eun Kyung) might have had bearable acting had it not been for the unbelievable and sheer audacity of a Korean movie producer to create and endorse such a garbled plot.

This drama was filmed in part in Australia Synopsis
"A Story about Extreme, Death-Defying Love" - This is a really sad love story. "Sorry, I Love You" is a story about Cha Mu-hyeok (So Ji-seop), who faces death everyday with two bullets stuck in the head, and Song Eun-chae (Lim Su-jeong), whose chance encounter with him develops into an extreme love affair.
- "Sorry, I Love You" begins with a man's fight for revenge Cha Mu-hyeok is a show business manager who plans to take his revenge on his birth mother for having abandoned him. After being abandoned by his mother, he was adopted by an Australian family at the age of two. He, however, left his foster home when he was 10 because of his adopted parents' ill treatment. He is a man making a living as a henchman of a street gang, a pimp, or a drug pusher.
- "Sorry, I Love You" is a story about an extreme love affair of two men and a woman
Though he has been hit with bullets in the head, Cha Mu-hyeok insists on going to Korea to see his birth mother determined to die in his birth country. Contrary to his belief that she abandoned him for poverty, his birth mother turns out to be a top movie star and his twin brother also a top star. In a plot to revenge himself on his mother, Mu-hyeok volunteers to work for his twin brother, Choi Yun (Chung Kyeong-ho), as his manager in a bid to run him. In the process, Mu-hyeok falls in deep love with Yun's program coordinator, Song Eun-chae.
This drama is a great drama that have the X-factor that captivated the hearts of drama audience and it is really worth the watch. This drama truly depicts the harshness of life. Too bad that my connection are too slow to download the whole drama series from the internet.
The original song yukino hana by Mika Nakashima. The song was resung by pop singer Park Hyo-shin as a theme song for KBS TV 2's miniseries, "Sorry, I Love You" starring So Ji-seop and Lim Su-jeong, has captivated the hearts of the drama audience. On the strength of its surging popularity, its original Japanese song "Yukino Hana" by Mika Nakashima has also stolen the spotlight. Park Hyo-shin's popularity has contributed to boosting the image of Mika Nakashima in Korea.
Many critics highly praise Park's "Snow Flowers" as a perfect remake with a fascinating combination of sublime sounds of string instruments and clear and cool vocal sounds.
This song really sends shivers to my spines as I was electrified every time I listened to this song. This songs was very emotional especially the beginning of the song.

Park Hyo Shin *Snow flower* translations
Somehow our shadows grow longer
As I'm walking with you in the twilight
Holding hands, this eternity
Just being together brings tears to my eyes
When the wind is cold
Winter is coming closer.
Little by little on this path
The season when I'll have to leave you is coming
Now as I look up at the first snow of the year
In this moment together
I want to give you everything
And hold you in my arms
I am not just a weak person
I love you like this
That is the only thing in my heart
When I'm with you, whatever may happen
It seems like I'll be able to do it
You give me that feeling
Today passes, and on into eternity
I pray that our love will last forever
The wind rattles my windows
When I awaken in the dark night
And I'll erase all your painful memories
Through this smile
The white snowflakes fall endlessly
On this path as we walk
Not knowing if someday it'll change
We go on through the changing colors of light
I lived for someone
I wanted to do something - everything - for them
I learnt that is what love is
If maybe I'd known where you were
I would've been the star on a winter night
Shining my light on you
On the happy days,
And on the sad nights wet with tears
Always, always beside you
Now as I look up at the first snow of the year
In this moment together
I want to give you everything
And hold you in my arms
Don't cry, look at me
Still beside you
All my heart wants is to be with you
I won't let you go again
Endlessly falling around us
On this path full of snowflakes
Little by little in your heart and mine
Our tiny memories become full
You are forever beside me

Update on easter break
Easter break almost finish. Thats mean my pharmacology exam are coming nearer. I havent even started looking at them yet. I almost completed my pharmacology practical report 3, but then again I havent started at my microbiology practical report. The daylight saving has begun last Sunday but I havent got the time to change my clocks yet. I had been playing big2 pairs with my housemate in these few days. He got addicted on gunbound with her girlfriend because of me. He is only playing warcraft initially but after I introduced gunbound to him, her gf started to play that game with him over and over.
My housemate is going to let me to copy mp3 collection. He is a Chinese mp3 songs collector, I only got about 5-6 gigs of mp3 while he got almost double my collections if he includes his classics. Almost all of my songs are from the 90s so I am going to copy his 70s and 80s songs. It is really hard to get old songs from the internet. I am going to download HK Jade solid gold collection from year 1979-2004.
Downloaded these three album today
1. Trainee Cupid (Twins)
2. Andy Hui & William So Live With The Hong Kong Sinfonietta
3. Happy New Year (New + Best Selection) (Twins & Various Artists)
Skype craze
Manage to persuade my brother and my father to install skype, a free telephony software. My brother is having free internet access lately, so he is able to call me freely over the internet. My father had finally setup a microphone in his office and thus able to speak to me over the internet. I had skype for a very long time already but not really used it as most of my friend didnt use it. Even now, I only have a few contacts on my list.
To do list review
Since easter holidays is almost finish, let me review my to do list that I had earlier.
[ ] Watch LOTR 1 and 2.
[ ] Finish the Lost in the chamber of love TVB series DVD.
[ ] Finish the Where the legends begins TVB series DVD
[ ] Microbiology assignment: Scientific writing on Nasal Staph. A..
[/] Biochem report touch-up.
[ ] Maybe revision on all the subjects as I havent started on anyone of them.
[/] Clean up my harddisk.
[ ] Clean up my room.
Aside from cleaning up my harddisk and biochem report touch up, I havent done any of the above. I had 3 TVB series that still havent watch. LOTR 1 and 2 shall be watch with good sound system. Microbiology assignment is going to due on next Wednesday. I only did a bit of revision for pharmacology as there is a mid semester exam for pharmacology in two more days. Basically, I havent really done half of them. I only washed my bed sheets and done my laundry for this week.
Heavenly Sword & Dragon Saber 2003 I found a new banner that created by some HSDS fans.
Lost in the chamber of love. The TVB series that I still watching.
Earthquake in Sumatra, Malaysia on alert Midnight tremors: Tremors were felt in many parts of Peninsular Malaysia just after midnight Tuesday following an earthquake in Sumatra measuring 8.5 on the Richter scale. Penang, Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, Klang, Johor Baru and Muar felt the tremors.
An earthquake measuring 8.5 on the Richter scale hit just off the coast of Sumatra about 245km from Medan and 535km from here at 12.09am and tremors were felt on the entire west coast of the peninsula causing tens of thousands of people to be evacuated from their high-rise homes and hotels.
No casualty or damage was reported in Malaysia.
Thailand, India, Africa and Indonesia all issued tsunami warnings
Scientists puzzled why earthquake did not produce destructive tsunami.
A magnitude 8.7 quake shook Indonesia's west coast, killing hundreds of people and spreading panic that another devastating tsunami was on the way.
There was no tsunami, but a small wave was detected by a tide gauge on Cocos Island near Australia, about 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometers) south of the epicenter, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center on Oahu.
Some RO updates again
My bro got me a smokie card as he got a spare one so now my sniper can hide. My sniper are close to level 91. Now I had reset my sniper to falcon assault build. Many people mistaken falcon assault build and falcon hunter build. Before sniper are available, falcon hunter build are based on Dex and Luk. Now paladin sprites are finally available but I yet to seen 1 yet. Falcon Hunter Dex 99, Luk 99 Auto Blitzing. Doesnt rely on sp and can critical a lot. Trap Hunter/ Falcon Assault Build Dex 99, Int 99 Falcon Assault build. Decent damage that ignore defense, good for PVP and MVP if there is a tank. MVP/Agi Hunter build Dex 99, Agi 99 Can reach 190 attack speed with berserk portion + buffs. This build can take down even mystic knight solo.
This is a picture of my hunter that just turned sniper together with by bro. I just bought a tight for my sniper but it is without slot. Not really much achievement except for 14 million worth of zenies excluding my assets. I might as well buy a whisper card rather then to hunt for one. This lately I even online less on RO although it is holidays. Here is one of my so called latest pictures which are taken about 2 months ago. Taken in front of the federal square, Melbourne.
I was busy with so many practical reports for pharma and it is like endless of them is going to due. Luckily the Easter holiday is around the corner and I desperately need a break.
This lately I was watching my housemate playing WarCraft and it is not a bad game as all, learned a bit about the game strategy although I dont really played it before or studied that game. He let me tried on the WarCraft and it was much harder than I expected. I think mainly because I am not familiar with the controls overall. But it is really fun to watch him playing that game. I even played Counter Strike over the LAN with him but I losed to him big time as my graphic card will lag when ever he comes near me as I am hosting that game. I only won him on card games (black jacks) as I practice a lot on computer simulation black jack game^ ^. But mainly due to those good cards that I got. List to do during my Easter holiday.
[ ] Watch LOTR 1 and 2.
[ ] Finish the Lost in the chamber of love TVB series DVD.
[ ] Finish the Where the legends begins TVB series DVD
[ ] Microbiology assignment: Scientific writing on Nasal Staph. A..
[ ] Biochem report touch-up.
[ ] Maybe revision on all the subjects as I havent started on anyone of them.
[ ] Clean up my harddisk.
[ ] Clean up my room.
Might also flip through my brother DOS programming book that he left on my room.
Cleaned up my registry and my desktops, I even defragmented my hard disks yesterday.
Today I had BBQ with my landlord family as 1 of their friends are going back to Hong Kong soon as he completed his study.
There is a pharma midsemester exam straight after the holidays. My biochem due on next two week while my pharma prac due on 31st which is the first day the uni reopen.
Here are some of the news updates about qRO PS. The autoloot systems is finally
back and I dont have to bother picking up loots again. The second thing is
the War of Emperium is finally started. There is also a new server running and there is yet an announcement for it. 2 servers in different locations.Abitibi and Sagenay are two different places over Quebec
Guild Affairs
The guild that I am in is called the Phoenix Flames and it is currently at level 2. Our guild is really not ready for the WoE yet as most of our guild members are in low levels. They are only 4 high levels characters that are meant to contribute the most out of the guild experience. Out of the 4, there are two guild leaders which co-own the guild which might be strange to outsiders. There used to be a broken bow guild and one of the co guild leader breaks away from the guild and formed the broken swords. The Phoenix Flames was formed not long after that as they re-emerged back both the guild and they are trying to bring back the oRO guild that they once in on oRO.
Both the highest character in the Phoenix Flames is me and my brother both at level 91.
My brother is playing a High Priest while I am a Stalker. My hunter is already level 84/50 and it is in the same guild. Lucas, a monk created a new character which is an assassin and he is trying to overtake caz and pj before joining the guild. Assassins is one of the most fastest leveling character in the game as given their ability to mob by grimtooth-ing. Last seen was level 86.
My currents assets. I listed it here just incase anyone want to trade an item with me on the qRO LR server.

I deleted one of my merchant a few days ago as there is no point having two merchant in a same account. I made an archer this time and I already reached hunter level 84. I was trying to overupgrading my weapon earlier and I break 2 hunter bow. I was trying to bring it to +8 hunter bow and needless to say I break it. Now I am staying at +7 hunter bow. I was so furious that I break so many of them and I can't get it to +8 and now I gave up lol. I will be very buzy with my assignments and I won't be playing qRO lately. Although I almost retired on my stalker, as I seldom play my stalker anymore. But stalker are WOE god. I will play my stalker when the WOE start. My hunter are built mainly for MVP. But hey, who say stalker can't MVP. I MVP a Dracula before with my friends. ^ ^

My wizard are wreaking havocs on The Enchanted Peach Tree, there is seldom wizards level in Gonyun mainly they can't attack on the enchanted peach tree unless being pnuema by a priest. There is actually a trick on how to level in gonyun using wizard. The enchanted peach tree are ranged attacks and they have range of 8. While us wizards have range of 9. But often, we have to stand nearer inorder to cast spells. And therefore, you will never able to use firebolt level 10 to kill them. Since we can't outrange them, it is a really silly thing to level in gonyun. I saw most of the wizard thay are leveling there are using either storm gust level 10 or lord of vermilion, which are those AoE spells to out range them, but often very hard to kill them and it take absurdly long to kill as they heal themself. AoE spells are also take to long to cast.
Fear not, use Firepillar level 10 and cast them one cell infront of the tree, and the tree will get hit although they are not in the range of the firepillar. But it is only work with firepillar level 6 and above which need to consume bgems. Firepillar level 5 only have range of 3x3 while I suspect firepillar level 10 have 4x4 area of effects. Plus, bgems cost are nothing if you levelup in gonyun. Equip yourself with teleport clip and healing clip and you are set for leveling up in gonyun.
The next best spell to use here is the Meteor storm due to the fire elemental bonus. About 2 meteor storm are needed to kill each time. Meteor storm are abit slower than using Fire pillar as fire pillar are almost instantaneous to cast and only 3 or 4 fire pillar are sufficient to kill each time.
Sage are able to level here too provided if they have Phen clip and healing clip with them. They just need to step forward and cast firebolt level 10 and step back. As they can cast while moving, phen card give them an ability to continue to cast even being hit.
My stalker are not attacked by the gonyun tree although I just sit beside them. This is because of a bug in stalker that allow me to be invisible to them. ^ ^ They only can see you if they are MVP, demon or insects. I reverted back out of the bug because of the huge sp consumption as the sp doesn't regenerate during the invicinble mode and I drank 500 gj in 1 day. I leveled 1 level in 1 day in that mode. If you have smokies pet, this will make your bug perfect due to the perfect hiding that smokies give. My brother do have 1, but he don't have the red scarf armor with him. I was explaining the bug to my guild leader. -PJ-
Personal life
Now I was watching a HK Chinese series called Lost in the Chamber of love. The movie was fairly okay but nothing great about the movie; I heard that it will eventually become boring in the end. I was now having heaps of practical reports that waiting for submit in next week and I still havent touch on them. I really have get my ass up and start on them. I really hate the way that I blog, I posted too little personals things or affairs and instead I posted on silly things and games. I know some of my friends that do post their feelings, and they blog like writing diaries. I just dont like the idea of my diaries being read by strangers and even worst, my close friends. :p
My uni already started and now I am already a sophomore. Currently enrolled into the pharmaceutical science stream and minored in Microbiology. Microbiology is really going to be a hard subject as there are 3 book that needed to be referred to other than the prescribed text book. Have to fork out a few hundreds bucks to buy those text books. I already got the microbiology and the pharmaceutical prescribe text book . Just needed to buy the remaining biochemistry and human physiology text books.
RO
Already over a week still in lv90 stalker, it is really hard to level with the advanced class. Now that my uni started and I cant play RO as frequent as I used to be.
Now I think I got over 10 million worth of assets in RO. My bro also have almost as much as I do too. He got envenom clip and hiding clip. He is now more to a PVP oriented build envenom priest build.
Here is some of the items that worth to mention here as they are worth over a few mils.

Teleport Clip
+6 VVS Fire Damascus
+5 VVS Ice Damascus

Naruto is officially licensed by ShoPro which is merging with Viz to become one of the biggest North American distributors of anime and manga. The company is owned by Shogakukan Inc, Shueisha Inc and Shogakukan Production Co Ltd. Now I am pissed off because of the Naruto are licenced and I cant download the naruto manga anymore. I only read the naruto until chapter 248 which are the latest chapter. Although fansub are never legal at the first place it was tolerated by most anime company because in a way, its free promotion. It means that it is illegal even to download it from the internet as it is protected by the Berne Convention which most country in the world signed. I just hope that they still release the fansub mangas as I prefer Inane scanlation then the VIZ official manga volumes. Yeah call me cheap for downloading free manga, I dont care. Officials one are often not as good as the fansubs version anyway.

Chinese New Year is approaching, Happy Chinese New Year to all the Chinese and those who do celebrate it. This is another year I celebrated my CNY here in Australia, far away from home and relatives means no angpau for me. For those who dont know Ang pau is those red packets containing moneys that given by those people who are married to those who arent as they believe that the receiver will receive good luck. This has been a tradition to the Chinese and I do strongly believe it. So where is my angpau? : p
This is another boring CNY that I spent here. Nothing really great about CNY here in Australia, everyone still have to work during CNY. I only got to eat the reunion dinner with my landlord family. Luckily, my relatives in Malaysia helped my father to set up the web conference so that I can see what happen in my real family reunion. I ate my dinner that night first as there is a time difference of 3 hour between Melbourne and Malaysia. There is a lot of my relatives that changed and I hardly recognize some of them. Partly due to lag on the webcam as they are using 56k line.
RO
I been playing RO again stared last week and already have 3 active character and 1 inactive character on the qRO server. I played my rouge more than other characters and interestingly, I got all my wealth and rares using my rouge.

wongzsd Rogue DS/Stripper bow wielder 89/50
DouglasW Wizard 75/4X
Heavenly Merchant Vending/DC/OC Merchant 49/3X
NightTrader Merchant DC/OC Merchant
My bro on the other hand was playing a High Priest and an OC/DC/vending merchant.
I bought my first Healing clip (vitata card and the clip) for 4.8 million zeny. Thats kinda high for the market price as someone I know can get them for 3.8 million. I got that from an Auction. After I bought that healing clip, I was broke and indebt with my bro 2 million zennies. Luckily I worked my ass up and paided off it lol. Everyday, I will go to the sunken ship atleast once to hunt for Ghostring and whisper hoping to get whisper card. I got a Ghost Bandana which gives me 2 agi, it is a rare that can sell for 2 mil. A ghost bandana is quite rare and it is better than sakhat which only give 1 agi and 3 def. I bought a wizard hat too, for 300k zeny. I am planning to make a wizard instructor hat. I might where my rouge Apple O Archer which give me 3 dex if I am going for dex wizzie. Currently I was having 1 peco peco as a pet and now the intimacy level is Cordial. They said that kRO already implemented the pet updates where the people can ride on PecoPeco during non battles. It will be cool that having to ride a peco peco just like knights whiles the crusaders riding grand-pecopeco. Lately, freya devision changed the autoloot system and now the items/loots from monster will not be dropped into the inventory, instead the character will automatically pick it up if it is 3 tiles near. This is extremely gay and alot of players are against it. This is because the long ranged character such like archer class and magic caster are affected by it. Melee class are not affected and they didn't complain ofcourse but the archer class was the most popular class played on this server due to the abundant supply of grape juice the merchant provide, they can dish out a high amount of damage by Double Straffing coupled with elements arrows and high Dex, they can dish out about 3K-4K damage per DS. and this is insanely alot. Although the rouge also got the Double straffing skill, but the rouge wielding a bow is much slower than a hunter due to diferent class weapon swing time. This means cool time for DS is slower than hunter, but Bow rouge still kick ass and leveling insanely fast. Later on, I might change to full agi melee class rogue when I reach stalker.
Here are some of the screenshot from the game. I seldom take screenshots.
My wizzie against a galapagos aka penguins, caged in my ice wall and while I am casting Firebolt level 10. They drop yggdrasil leaf which are quite valueable. I actually look quite cool with my ghost bandana. Ice wall are better to cage monster than frost diver or storm gust lv 1 as the mdef of the monster will increase by 20% if they are frozen although they will have the water element bonus.
My wizzie in morroc town. It is usually more crowded that the pic as this pic is just taken after a server reboot.
My rouge in gonyrun town, here in gonrun dungeon, I make quite alot although the experience is very little. The royal jellies after overcharge are close to 4.5K and they have 0.2% of dropping royal jellies. This pic is taken straight after I bought the healing clip.
My rouge resting while recovering from sp, even those seals can't harm me. My flee are quite high but I can't dodge when 3 mob on me. Seals are quite good experince considering on this level although 1 seal only give 0.3 percent Bexp. while enchanted peach tree give about 0.2%
