Woke up with a sore throat. crap. maybe it's the omellete I made last night. maybe it's the nu green tea i drank last night. maybe it's the lack of drink or sleep. either way it's sickening.
Well lately I didn't play much game. the latest would be, let's see, Rogue Galaxy for PS2. quite a nice game, considering I love RPGs. then there's this Digimon World 4. quite an oldie but kinda cute to play. just starting to play though since I'm actually not really in to it.
Oh did I mention I woke up late today? guess it's a sign. I think I'm getting sick. time to take those pills ^^
Anyway, gotta go have lunch. since I got this sore throat, I really wanted to eat meatballs. I craved for meatballs since two or three days ago actually, so now is the time then. so adios for now.
Oh and also, Itadakimasu ^^

Lost In Thoughts
Lately I'm not really in mood for writing anything. I dunno what happened, maybe it's the weather, or it could be the internet connection. either way, I'm pretty lazy just to do almost anything. luckily I still got spirits for works. deadline is still way ahead, but judging from our development speed, I think we're gonna need to burn more midnight oil if we're aiming for the top place.
So far, life is still just about the same. working from Mon to Fri, and having fun at Sat and Sun. I still accompany her to church sometimes and vice versa, she accompanied me to Ekayana. sometimes we spend our time at the mall and sometimes it's at the office, watching movie and spending some time together.
So the question still remains.
"How to make these robots animate?"
Hm, how I long for a Starbuck's ice cold Caramelle Frappucino. I think I need to get it someday. I think I need to dye my hair too. red is a nice choice of color but since i did it before with red, do you think yellow will look good on me? I prefer blue though.
Hm, decisions decisions decisions. can't life without one, can you?

Lost
We lost the warm-up competition. well, I think we deserved it. after all, all we did was just changing the 3D model, add a few extra stuff and changed the main menu. and the rest is just about the same.
Compared to the winners, our game was really like a child's work. well, still we did our best and I think the experience worth it. at least now I know that I need to spare at least a full day just to make sure the upload goes well and out there are peoples that got talents. we can't expect to win all the time, else it'll make us arrogant and lose control to ourselves.
So I guess now I just got to move on and concentrate more on the real deal now. yeap, the real competition has already started and the due date is July 2nd. looking at the 1st prizes makes me drools but I need to focus and try not to think about it for the moment. what's more important is that I learn how to deal with 3D stuffs first as it's going to be 3D battle out there.
Well, that'll be all for now. I'm moving on to the tutorials. be seeing you then. ciao.

A Drop of Relieveness
Can you imagine me working from 8 to 5? well of course you can. it's like a daily routine from 8 AM to 5 PM. well guess again. I'm talking about 8 AM to 5 AM. yep, you heard (or should I say read) right. it's actually already passed a few days behind, but since I'm in the mood for some sharing, I wanna tell it all of you.
First of all, you all faithful readers must already know that I'm doing the codes for XNA Gaming Competition. and about a week ago, Kukuh told me about the warm-up contest in which we must use the already coded Space War Kit from the XNA SDK and we must enhance it to become a better and more playable game. (better is a must, playable not really ^^) so I spent almost a week in front of my PC, working and trying to solve how to use the 3D engine and since I'm used to 2D programming, it's kinda hard for me. hopefully I'll manage soon enough.
Moving on, since I'm doing it alone (all the other guys got their own matters to attend) it took me almost 2 to 3 days just to understand the flow of the codes. so after I finished understanding (a bit) of the codes, I started to fiddle with it. changing the 3D objects, re-code some codes (doh..), blah blah et cetera et cetera.. you know the drill. it went for about 3 more days.
The final showdown was when the game must be submitted in the next morning. I spent the night alone (not entirely alone though, thanks to my hunny *mwah*) at the office doing the codes while the other boys were snoring upstairs. finally my consciousness gave up and I went to bed at around 5.30 AM. since the game is not entirely finished, I woke up again at 8 AM, took a bath and started coding again. at that time, all the other boys helped me out the way they can.
Well, just like Yohanes Surya said, "Mestakung!" finally I was able to finish the game (although maybe not really on time) and submit the game to the XNA website. after that, I was like totally fell into deep slumber and by the time I woke up, it's already 8 PM. *w00t* after that I took a break eating and calling my hunny and after that I'm back to sleeping.
Well, until now I'm still waiting for the decision about the warm-up contest winner. while on that, I'm now going through a tutorial on the internet about 3D gaming engine. hopefully it'll enlight me more. until then, I'll be doing some more research and coding so if you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way to more hours of confusion and excitement.
Adios for now then.

Back Online
Finally after a few weeks of not connected to the internet, I'm back online now. It seems that our modem is struck by lightning. pretty bored, but soon I managed to get by not using internet, plus I got more time to do my works (not that I don't work when there's internet).
Anyway, yesterday we're celebrating Chinese's New Year. so Gong Xi Fa Chai for all of you. hopefully this pig year will be more prosperous and successful for everyone.
And also, it's always nice to be able to meet her. luv u so much beibeh *mwah*
