Wertytrew's Life

Reviewing later. Now, installing. *LOL! It’s not even released in US yet. So, you can guess what type of cd is that*

 

UPDATE!

Okay…reviewing. After for so long.

REVIEW!

One word>Disappointed. I thought it’s gonna be fun and VERY different. Somehow, still the gameplay doesn’t really change much. Let me explain from different aspects;

 

a) Basic needs

: Well, now there’s less needs. Minus “Environment and Comfort”. I also notice that somehow everytime they eat, the meter will full no matter how little the food is.

 

b) Work:

To work, 3 choices> newspaper/personally go to that particular building and click for jobs/click from map view. You can follow your sims until the targeted building but you cannot see what are they doing. For jobs, there are a number of things you can choose from for them to do during workhours. Eg. “Watch tv in the hall/ Work Hard/ Do Paperworks for Boss…

 

c) Loading Time:

Only 4/3 loadingsneeded this time > The game, the map, your sims’s house. I can’t really remember. But, of course the best part is that you can run around the town crazily without any loading time.

 

d) Neighbours:

You can visit your neighbours, provided if that household is around home. You can go into their house and can see everything inside their house. Stealing stuffs is even allowed but it will costs your relationship with that family. You can return the stuffs through mails. Cooking or bathing inside your neighbours’s houses are not allow since your relationship is still very early stage. I haven’t reach “Friend” status yet. I think they allow you to cook using their food if you have a very good relationship with that person.

 

e) Create-A-Sim:

Here’s one of the things that I’m impressed of. You can customise A LOT!. For example, your sims’s hair. The hair is not just gonna be black/green/blue entirely. But, you can make the hair a combinations of 4 different colours. This works for many things like your clothes, pants and stuffs. Now, you’re able to wear different types of shoes, earrings and stuffs. But, somehow all the clothes look the same from previous Sims 2. Ya, i know you can change the pattern of your shirt.

 

f) Building a house:

Sorry, I didn’t really get to try that out because I was already bored of the game. Another thing that I'm really happy that you can put your items at diagonals angles and you’re able to put the lamp at the centre of the ceiling although you only have 2-seats sofa on the floor. Something pretty cool for me.

 

g) Traits:

You can have (I think) 6 different traits/personalities for your sims. Eg. “Evil/Childish/Funny/Clumsy” and so on. Lots of traits to be choose from.

 

*Sorry, I can’t really explain a lot, I only played for 4 hours. And I didn’t really try out lots of things. Plus, that period of time already bored me. Not sure for the others but I don’t think there’s much of stuffs to do in the game. Pretty much the same for me. Except for few things like Create-A-Sim (major overhaul), loading time and placing items in the house. My advice: Play The Sims or They Play Your Mind! (since you’re so curious to know about it)

Extracts:

According to the study, which was conducted by doctoral candidate Aryn Karpinski of Ohio State University and her co-author Adam Duberstein of Ohio Dominican University, frequent Facebook users typically spend less time studying and receive lower GPA scores than students who do not use the service at all. Among the 219 students surveyed, non-users had GPAs between 3.5 and 4.0, while users received 3.0 to 3.5 GPAs. It also found that users averaged 1 to 5 hours of studying per week, compared to 11 to 15 hours of studying by non-users.

Decided to post about this since most of my friends here are facebookers.

My opinion: Depending on how you use it. You can flunk if you’re using facebook like me last year, playing online games(for me, maplestory) 5 hours per day. Then, you can flunk your exams. But, if you know how to divide your time, then I think it’s a no problem to your grades.

 

So, what’s your opinion?

*The new Prime Minister of Malaysia is here. Congratz! May you work harder for the better future for us. Please abolish NS. Thanks!*

I skipped school on that day to go for Qing Ming in the morning. Then, in the afternoon I went for my first secondary-school tuition at GTC. I took 3 subjects (Chem, Physics and Add. Math). There were many Indian girls and boys in my class(most of the teachers are Indians too) and there were about 1/2 Chinese in there only. So, on that day, after going for Qing Ming, I went home and went there for tuition from 3-5pm(Add. Math) and 5-7pm(Physics). Chem. is on Monday. Overall, I think I’m starting to like tuitions because I CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE TEACHING! Still, it’s really tiring. When I went home, it was raining hellish rain. Damn “tua-hor”. I ate, bathed and slept from 9pm to the next morning 7.30am.

 

2) 5 April 2009 (Saturday)

So, I woke up early in the morning again. Guess what? I went Qing Ming again. This time is my late grandparents from my mother’s side. Actually, Qing Ming is cool where all the family members get to together and talk crap. Of course, get to eat LOTS of meat. Chiak until you jilat. Then, after that, went to Prangin Mall with Adeline, Dianne and Tabitha. In fact, I sort of organize this outing because I need their helps to buy clothes for the Prom and my brother’s wedding day. Actually, I did expect them to force me to try on nonsense clothes there. Haiz……I’m more experienced now after my first outing with them. In the end, I bought a wrong pants and a black “blouse”(don’t know the official name). I was planning to some clothes for my college time also. But, too bad. Time ran out before I could catch it.

 

3) 6-10 April 2009 (Normal boring Schooldays)

Somehow, I am feeling the SPM Fever is here. Getting tensed these few days. Only the problem is that SPM-coming-soon awareness just get into my minds. My body just slumber only. My body is just to lazy to study or get into the mood as well. So, I wasted these 4 days with excessive sleeping without studying. I am so dead! Any doctor reading my blog, can help my body to be a more healthy, active one?!?!? Damn all the lazy germs inside my body!

 

4) 11 April 2009 (Yesterday)

Hey! It’s a schoolday for most schools. I forced myself to go to my class yesterday which is filled by 13 hardworking students. So proud of my class. Practically, it’s a useless day with practically no teaching at all because of the lacking in the number of students. Forget it, nothing nice to blog about it too.

 

5). 12 April 2009 (Today)

It’s a relax day for me. I woke up pretty late this morning. I wanted to study earlier, somehow the Lazy-Germs(LG) still are dominating most of my body. My war with them is still on! I as the commander IS REALLY SURE of winning this battle.

Commander’s Message to My Soldiers:

Soldiers(Antibodies), Don’t Give Up. Fight Till The End. Promise There’s Reward For You Guys. Let’s Fight!!

Okay. Felt like blogging it detaily. Me and my mom were watching 8tv about 20seconds before 8.30pm sharp. People at KL were counting down to Earth Hour. Everyone was holding a candle. Then, at 8.30pm, our Petronas Twin Tower switched off its lights. About 10-30secs later, 8tv closed its broadcast for an hour. They claimed they’re the first tv station to do that in the entire world.

About 5secs after that, i officially switched off my last light in the house. I felt REALLY PROUD OF MY ACTION THAT MOMENT! After a while, I switched off my tv. I finished off eating my food. Then, Joey started singing and dancing here and there. Okay, I got some “Lalaaaallaaa…” music as I was eating my “char pui”. Then, my mom suggested we go around and see got people doing the same thing or not. We didn’t really go anywhere, just to the third floor and my floor. I cannot really assume anything because usually my neighbours closed their door and not at home. So, I can’t say anything.

We went back home after walking for like 5minutes. I wanted to go down and have a walk at the pool but….the weather was helping in that sense, by raining…. So, forget it. Then, at home, we got our torchlight and started doing “wayang tangan”. I was figuring out how to do the very basic one, which is the rabbit-finger-shadow-thing. But, came out all sort of weird stuffs and in the end, Joey went back because her father came. So, totally nothing to do liau. My mom said switch back on the tv. I saw the time and it was like 9.15pm. I felt real disappointed because why the time passed so fast. I wanted to do more stuffs. I really felt like my EARTH HOUR stopped the clock and I wanted to do a lot of things.

Then, Bahirah started sending sms to everyone bragging”

“Helo! Just to brag....my family is having a candle light dinner. We are having spaghetti, mashed potato, and fish and fillet."

So, I started smsing her back and so on. Well, my tv is switched on after that. Then, my mom flipped to her favourite show that started at 8pm-10pm and surprisingly, her old favourite series came back at channel 316. We all thought that series won’t revive back. Well, if I not happen to open the  tv at that moment, we wouldn’t know all these things, right? Finally, at approximately 9.36pm, I SWITCHED MY FIRST LIGHT! It felt really good. I was hoping for a blackout. NO, that didn’t happen…

 

AFTER THIS, I WILL BE USING LESS ELECTRICITY. I PROMISE THIS TO MY POLLUTED EARTH!
