Mistaken

"Oh, sorry I must have mistaken you for...." that is what some people would say if they have mistaken you for someone else but that's not really what I want to post today. It is about a drink that many people in the place were I am staying have mistaken for an alchoholic drink. Can you guess the beverage that I am talking about? Huh? Can you? Can you? Well, if you thought Bundaberg Ginger Beer, then you are correct!!!!


Well this happened when I was in Kuching, I was walking around with my cousin and my younger brother around the 'Spring' perhaps you have heard of it. Well, we were using the time of around 2 hours because my sister wanted to watch New Moon the new Twilight series movie, thingy, and I didn't want to watch because, well, Twilight, a story about love and blah blah blah. So my cousin didn't want to watch and neither did my younger brother. Well, we looked at Gundam Models, of course that was my idea, they had the new Gundam models there too, and then we were thirsty so we went to buy us drinks. My cousin said they had Ginger Beer there so I thought I'd buy some because I'm addicted to it. We bought our drinks and I bought 2 bottles of Ginger Beer. So we decided to sit by the water fountain place on the lower floor, the one near the parking area, and when while I drank my Ginger Beer, I realized that muslims were watching me drink it. In their mind it was "He is DRINKING an alchoholic beverage!!!"I'm a muslim drinking what SEEMS to be an alchoholic beverage in public!!! Yup, that sounds and looks so bad. But in the end it turned out funny looking at people stare, shake their head and glare at me for drinking something that is not HARAM!!!

Yeah, if you think that was bad, I'd have you know I left the other bottle on the strap on my bag I was carrying to the Surau!!! But that had passed. It's just weird that people think that all drinks in glass bottles are alchoholic. Anyway, that all, one more thing is that the label on the bottle there, in Kuching is different, here, there's the sentence 'Non-Alchoholic Beverage'.

A New Day, Brings Hope.

Why did I type the post title that way, well, I just wanted to put that phrase as a post title, so I did for this one. This was a rather joyous day for me, why, for reasons I keep to myself, but one of them are because most of what I wanted to achieve was achieved. I managed to find a gameplay recorder program a few days ago and I painted another Gundam model my first FG (first grade) yesterday. Well, now that I have it istead of posting pictures or screen shots for the games that I play, I can ppost videos!!!Cool huh, especially for my map, which I made through the Warcraft World Editor, so you can see all the abilities in action. Oh, the joy!! I am also currently watching a lot of series such as Kamen Rider W and Kateikyoshi Hitman Reborn (Kateikyoshi means At-Home-Tutor) which is hilarious. But now the are going into the serious parts of the series. But, I finally realized that I have not been to any amusement parks for a long time, and I long to go on a Roller Coaster again. Right now, I have lost most of my interest in games, I hardly play them.

Just to hint about my upcoming posts, I am going to post gameplay videos of the heroes that I have made, before they are forgotten. I am awaiting the arrival of RX-77 Guncannon with clear armour and saving up too. Well that's all, I just feel really happy right now.

A Trip To....

Wow, now this was quite an amazing month for me. I think it was the first time I went to 2 different places in the same month. I just came back from Kuching as you know from my previous post but then I went to Bintulu. So, I thought I should update my blog as soon as I arrived and I did. Recently, I have been playing games that I have played a long time ago. The game is Virtual On, the game that inspired my drawings of robots. If you watch the video I have uploaded you will realize that it looks just like the robot in the game. Well, that's because he was my favourite character and my main inspiration. But now I have managed to edit my robot base design, which I have not shown, so it would not look the same.



I am not the one playing in this video, I downloaded it from the official website. Just to tell you the latest version of this game was in 2004, Virtual On Marz for the PS2 and it is the one I am showing you now. However, the one I have been playing is an older version of the game, I remember playing when I was still really young, around my primary school years. The first to be released was Virtual On, the one I am playing, the second was Virtual On Oratorio Tangram, the third was Virtual On Force and the last one was Virtual On Marz. It is a really good game. But only the first was released for the computer I think, the other were for consoles like, Dreamcast, PS2 and Virtual On Force was only available on arcade, if I am not mistaken. That's the reason why I did not buy Virtual On Marz, I did not have the console, but only recently did I realize there were emulators. I'm so sad. Well, this is all I got, I really didn't have anything to post.
