So there was this 7.1 on the Richter scale earthquake somewhere in southern Taiwan and we felt a couple of tremors here in Hong Kong and it was nothing special but thanks to this earthquake a lot of undersea internet cables were damaged and a lot of eastern Asia has been affected. I can’t even access Google or Yahoo from Hong Kong. The reason my Korean trip pictures aren’t up yet is because I can’t access Flickr either. It sucks and I hope they can fix these problems soon because I can’t imagine what this is like for big businesses.

Yeah, what else can I say. My Christmas present this year was a PSP and GTA: Vice City Stories. I just got the Normal Pack and bought a tiny 32Mb MemoryStick which I’ll upgrade soon to something like 1Gb. That’s it really. I’ll have my article + pictures of my trip to Korea (Dec. 17-22) sometime soon hopefully.
I got FIFA 07 for my birthday (November 17). Here’s a short review.
It’s not that much different from FIFA 06 but there are definitely some improvements. Player emotions, movements and physics have been detailed. One noticeable feature is that if you shoot the ball, it doesn’t go in the net and stop moving, it actually bounces like a real ball. The goalkeeper’s reactions and AI has clearly been improved. The music is nice as always with FIFA titles but I’m a bit dissapointed that EA didn’t change the commentary, it’s still the same as it was in FIFA 06, with a few additions. I’ve been playing FIFA 06 for months and I’ve memorized the damn commentary already, they should’ve changed it.
I was excited when I found out that the Ukraine national team was included in FIFA 07 but I was quickly upset when I noticed that their uniform was just plain yellow with a small Ukrainian flag on the front. Why didn’t they copy the real uniform (that is this). I mean they did it in FIFA 2006 World Cup, so why not in 07?
Anyway, in the end it’s still an awesome game and I’m currently managing Chelsea in Manager Mode. It’s still addictive, and compared to PES 6 and other soccer titles out there, it is still the best in both graphics and gameplay in my opinion.
This strange spam message somehow crept into my Gmail inbox:

It’s not a popular theory, but I think it’s hard to argue against once the emotional response has subsided. There are some things you need to know.

The garden fell into disrepair after the Civil War. Even though both stated they were in no particular hurry – one client was angry, one thrilled.
For one client I casually suggested to expect them by Wednesday.
I think what happened was this spam message was compiled by RSS feeds from many different sites and put into one big paragraph that is total nonsense.
I played a soccer game last weekend (25th of October) and owned my finger by getting an injury called a mallet finger (lemme guess I bet it’s at at this link). So my mid joint and the joint closest to the nail on my left hand ring finger were the ones that got their tendons stretched. No bone damage fortunately. I had to wear a splint for a week but now I’m fine and I don’t need to wear it. I still can’t bend my finger completely because of both pain and pure impossibility and the mid joint area is still swollen a lot. The mid joint area is also a bright purple as is the area where the finger joins the hand (upper palm). Hey, I’m not a doctor, I don’t the proper terms for all of these bones or the anatomy of a hand.
Anyway, it should be fine soon but no basketball, volleyball, goalkeeping or any of that hand involving stuff for a while. Haven’t posted in weeks by the way. School’s more important at the moment, you know.
