That is all. Study smart everybody!

If Malaysia hosted the FIFA World Cup

     I admit that I'm not much of a football fan. Well, I like football but I'm not a fanatic. I don't even know all the current players in my favourite team (Chelsea which by far will win this year). I don't follow current football events, so don't talk to to me about some player that is moving to some other team because of something that someone has which will affect somebody's career. Typical scenario is this:

  
      I didn't care if Chelsea lost. It didn't matter to me if Drogba moved. I did not stay late watching football matches. But when the 2010 FIFA World Cup came things changed. I was truly excited. For the first time in my life, football mattered. I selected Germany as my favourite team from the start. I read news about the world cup. I researched about the Jabulani. I was a fan. When Germany lost to Spain, I was furious. I condemned the Spaniards and hoped that they would lose in the final. But they won. Damn you Iniesta.

     Okay, I'm going overboard here. The main topic today is.... If Malaysia hosted the FIFA World Cup. With Malaysia's current situation I doubt that that would happen. But let's say it did. What would happen?


 1. Malaysia would celebrate even before the world cup starts

2. Not many Malaysians will support Malaysia

3. Riots would occur daily

4. The World Cup ball name would be in Bahasa Melayu. (And players will complain about it's unresponsiveness again)

5. Malaysia's players would be tiny compared to other countries' players

6. Malaysia will be crushed by it's opponents

7. Both players and tourists will complain about Malaysia

Hasif Reviews..... SnapIt Screen Capture

   
Screen Capture Software

     So, I decided to add another segment to this blog, that is if I can continue it. This segment is meant for reviews for anything I can get my filthy hands on whether electronics, software, toys, or other junk. So for this review, it's gonna be SnapIt Screen Capture.



     So what is SnapIt for? Well, remember that time when you needed a photo. So you go find the image, save it, wait for it to download, open it up in your photo editing software. Then you realise something. It's horrible. You need to crop it. So you attempt to crop it and you fail. You undo and crop it again. After a couple of painstaking minutes you're finished. See that? Wasted time from your life! What SnapIt does is it takes a snapshot with just a click.

    When you fire it up, all you have to do is click and drag across where you want to "snapshot". A box will be formed. Anything in the box will be saved automatically! It's that easy. No more tedious cropping. Perfect for Facebookers & bloggers.

    Installation was pretty easy. Just double click and install.

The camera icon is SnapIt.

    You will be greeted by an icon in your taskbar. Right click it and you can change settings at your will.

A wide variety of options.

    Here, you can change the hotkey to trigger SnapIt. Set you path to save your images and even the image format. So let's take some test runs.

My desktop. Please excuse it's clutterness. Haven't got time to clean it up.
 Even my hard drives are almost full!

   Now, I'm showcasing SnapIt's easy feature to just click and drag over where you want to "snapshot".

        Works everywhere! I copied this image in less than 5 seconds.

    In a nutshell, I extremely recommend SnapIt Screen Capture. Its system requiremnts aren't that steep and it's a small file to download. It offers a 14 day trial before you buy. So if you can get it, go and get it. The link is at the top of this review okay?

Why it sometimes sucks to be a kid in an adult world

     Sometimes, it really sucks to be a kid in an adult world. But don't get me wrong, it's awesome to be a kid but it's just that sometimes on certain days, you just wish you weren't. These problems arises mainly because adults around you treat you unequally and look down on you. So here is why it sometimes sucks to be a kid in an adult world in my personal view:

1. Cashiers seem to just ignore you whenever you try to order something

2. Cashiers ask you too many questions when you try to buy something expensive

3.Security guards will always think of you as a shoplifter if you are not accompanied with an adult

4.Your opinion never matters, even if it's correct

5.Total strangers scold you if you're a kid but won't if you're an adult

     There!These are just five of the many gripes I have with being a kid in an adult world. So, if you're an adult, please treat kids with the same amount of respect as you would with an adult. The world would be oh so much better.

The Citizen Connection (Chapter 3)

The Citizen Connection

Chapter 3 : Terror Interrogation


   "Ben Ryder?" continued the Interrogator.
    Ben kept quiet.
    "Playing tough?"
    The Interrogator immediately slammed Ben's head into the steel table. Blood gushed out. Pain seized Ben's mind. 
     "Tell me you useless pile of organs!" shouted the Interrogator.
     "What are you and your rebel friends planning?"
     Ben cursed under his breath.
     "Don't mess with me! Nobody survives when they mess with me," said the Interrogator. He took Ben's left hand and broke a finger. 
      Ben was near his breaking point. But he still said nothing.
      "Say your prayers buddy," muttered the Interrogator. He took out something from his back pocket. It was a laser cutter. Ben stared at it blankly.
      "You know what this is?" The Interrogator turned the device on.
      "It's a laser cutter.Able to slice through flesh and bone," A grim smile formed on his face. Sweat formed on Ben's face. He wasn't sure which part of his body was going to be sliced off. Possibly everything.
      
      Suddenly a rap was heard on the door. It sounded urgent. A Citizen Guardian swooped in quickly.
      "Sir, there's been a breach!"
      "What?"
      "Section Z-17! Rebel troops are pouring in!"
      The Interrogator was hesitant to leave his victim but he did it anyway. He had some killing to do. The Guardian followed suit.


       Ben sighed in relief. Now he can plan his escape. His hands were cuffed and he needed to escape. Rebels are battling Citizen Guardians. The perfect time to disappear. His hands were cuffed with a Level 2 cuff. Normally, he should be handcuffed with a Level 1 cuff. The CGs must've guessed that he was a rebel. It's a good thing he was trained for situations like this. In a split second the cuffs were off. Time to run.


     The Interrogator left his laser cutter on the table. Ben pocketed it and left the room. The building was essentially a huge maze. It kept people in and unwanted attention out. Ben looked left and right for any signs of guards. None were seen. All the Citizen Guards were too busy dealing with the threat. Ben rushed into anywhere that seemed like an exit. But anywhere he turned more rooms seemed to be in sight.


     Just as Ben reached another room that seemed like an exit. He saw somebody.
     "Freeze!"
     

Fighty Fuggs are Friggin' Fun

     You may or may not heard of Mighty Muggs. Might Muggs are collectible toys created by Hasbro. Many characters ranging from Transformers to Marvel Comics have been produced. There's been one too many times I've been drooling over those awesome toys at Toys R Us. The fact that Mighty Muggs has alot my favourite characters makes it even more tempting to buy one. But if you're like me you most likely won't have any money to spare on them.
 

Example of a Mighty Mugg. Exclusive Iron Man Mighty Mugg.

      
      For the poor man we have Fighty Fuggs!. Fighty Fuggs are awesome papercraft Mighty Muggs complete with it's own box (Completely Free)! Currently with only 5 characters, more are assumed to be on the way. All you have to do is print the PDF file on some card or photo paper (I recommend practising with black & white A4 paper first). So if you can't spend a dime on Mighty Muggs, why not check out Fighty Fuggs instead? Sooner or later, custom Fighty Fuggs might pop up and I want to wish for one Fighty Fugg only. Deadpool. Please?

Cliche Storylines

   When you watch a TV show, or film, don't you sometimes notice that the story seems to be the same like others before it. You've seen it used so many times that it becomes predictive and stereotyped. As wikipedia lists it, A cliché or cliche (pronounced /kliːʃeɪ/ (klee-shay) in English, but /kli.ʃe/ (klee-shé) in French), is an expression, idea, or element of an artistic work which has been overused to the point of losing its original meaning or effect, "played out", rendering it a stereotype, especially when at some earlier time it was considered meaningful or novel.

    From children's shows to box office films, cliches are everywhere. Sometimes, a when a cliche is used it has to be executed well as so not to bore the audience. Do it wrong, then the audience will start walking out on the show. There are many original ideas every now and then but for most shows/films, its a clicheic storyline.

     So what I'm trying to do here, is to list out clicheic storylines from time to time in the blog. Hope you enjoy it.

Cliche Storyline : 1

     Main character is a loser. His friends are losers.
     Note: Usually they are unpopular, not rich, etc. you get the point.

     Main character becomes popular all of a sudden.

     Main character gets new friends and acts like a jerk to his old friends.

     Tragedy. Main character is in emotional/physical distress.

     Old friends help main character.

     Main character overcomes tragedy.

     Main character doesn't want to be popular anymore. He chooses to be a loser with his old friends.

     THE END
