Featured PSP Game: Final Fantasy Crisis Core



Just completed this game (after about 2o hours) , it really is one of the best games I have ever played. In terms of story, gameplay, audio/visual, replayabilty, depth, challenge - I give all top marks!

For those who know FF7, this is basically the prequel to FF7. It focuses mainly on Zack Fair who was the guy who kinda brought the infamous Cloud into the whole picture to begin with. It also shows a lot of Sephiroth and his past etc. Really makes me feel like playing back the old FF7 games or watching advent children again. Heard that Square Enix is making another FF7 game in updated graphics!!

It seriously is a MUST PLAY for the PSP.

Firefox 3!



For those of you who don't even know, Firefox is a browser alternative to Internet Explorer. Although I'm quite a fan of Microsoft, I LOVE using firefox and have been using it ever since it came out.

Now the 3rd version is out and it is really good!! You can actually FEEL the speed increase. Aiya, simply put, DOWNLOAD IT and USE IT if you are not already.

EDIT: WAIT WAIT!! DO NOT GET THIS YET!!! It seems to break a lot of the websites that I surf. Wait for at least 1 more revision before getting. I'm still testing it out on one PC and sticking to Firefox 2 on another. Will keep you guys updated.

Hobby Update

Photography
Just bought a Canon G9 pns for casual shooting and potential UW shoots. Bought it 2nd hand from Clubsnap at a really good deal! The camera is really very good. It will serve as my backup camera on normal shoots or my lazy camera which I'll try to bring around more.

Was featured on Deviant Art for one of my old pictures! Was really awesome as I got like 3.4k of views on the day.

Chinese Chess
Started playing this online and omg I really suck big time...did see SOME improvement after 1 week of practicing...while continue to train at it!

Aquatic Hobby
Wonder why my CRS keep dying inside my special tank. Have this feeling its due to underfeeding as the moss is not growing well and it happens esp. when i don't put excessive food. Don't really like the oyama setup i did for my lobster side.

Games
Been playing PSP FF7 Crisis Core quite a bit. Seems weird that now my PSP has taken first place over my DS and even PC. Had just finished Mass Effect on the PC and well, its OK la...but prefer Kotor. Waiting for FF8 to come out on PS3 and thats when i'll probably get it.

Diving
Eric and the gang are going to Anilao next month but due to time contraints I really don't think I can join them. Am thinking of joining them on their Tioman trip later at the end of the month though. Current plan is for me to slowly build up experience diving and in spotting/photography assistant before getting my own setup. Was going to buy a regulator set but was advised against the idea so I'll just rent one if I need la.

Movie Updates

Don't Mess with the Zohan
Kinda liked it, especially the first part...but at the end it was quite boring.

Kung Fu Panda
Liked it! At first I really din see much to it but then after watching it, it just got better and better :) Love the turtle guy...esp his quote, "Yesterday's history, Tomorrow's a mystery, Today is a gift...and thats why we call it the Present."

Indiana Jones
Well, ok la...action film...din like it very much. Not true to the Indiana series IMO
