Pokemon Universe Community Tournament

Well, as planned, there was this tournament going on since Saturday, and unlike all expectations, I found myself enrolled into the tournament, and won a blazing 6-0 on the first round. Viper (or Jarodel) won his first match with 6-4, a close one and Gammal, my other teammate won on 6-3 (I think) giving us a perfect score of 3-0. Anyway, we moved onto the next round and it was getting late for me, so I went to bed, but today when I wake up, I learned that our team lost to another team; Gammal lost 2 matches out of 3 and was automatically disqualified... I'm sort of disappointed that I wasn't able to be there at that time to have a match, especially since I've been working on my teams quite a lot, trying to make up some synergy... Probably another time then.

On another note, the ACCA exams are coming and I finally decided to take the computer based one. I can pay for the exams in November and then take part in it in December to get my first level qualification. On the 3rd, I'll probably be in another hotel for auditing; this time, Long Beach Hotel, for Sun Resorts again. This'll be quite far and I know I'll have to wake up early, but hey, I hear it's one of the best hotels around. So, I'm looking forward to it. I just hope that there'll be some transport so I don't have to take so many buses. I completed my Annual plan for the company (quite some work, and a lot of importance is put into that...) and am awaiting for 2 ERs from an Assistant Manager, one having the deadline already passed... I wonder what will happen...

Anyway, driving tutoring is going okay-ish, knowing that the tutor has quite of a difficult temperament and am on my 16th lesson. Been driving okay on the roads and the rear gear seems to be good. The last thing this remains is the parking part of the test. It doesn't seem too hard, but hey, better not shout out victory before getting the pass in the test.

Scripting is slow but surely coming. I just finished a level up script and started to work on the stats-up part, together with how items work and I started with the unleashes of weapons. There is something else too that I changed to make it work better in the Psynergy script, which I'll have to duplicate in the Djinn script. Well, it won't be ready that soon =P.

On a final note, I started playing touhoumon a little; a hacked version of Pokemon FireRed with touhous replacing the pokemon. The typing and stats are a little weird, but it's okay. I just got my 5th badge the previous day and my bonekas (touhous) are low-average level for that part of the game. Bah, it doesn't matter, I can still go on strongly!

Second Thought about AMHD

Okay, yesterday some of the rules of the site were changed and we apparently are no more allowed to put in personnal feelings in our posts. Many of my friends are considering leaving the forum, so, I too will probably leave. I'll just be standing a little aback, watching how things will eventually turn out to be. I'm sad that the owners of AMHD are putting such things up. My hope right now is that the forum will not lose its members and become deserted.

Otherwise, I'm still at Grays Inc, got a new laptop because of the problems I was having with the previous one. This one has its problem too: it doesn't load the desktop sometimes when I turn it on. But overall, I think it's better than the previous one I had. I also got some new apps installed on my PC too and I'm planning to get some more stuff for Golden Sun script up for this week.

As for driving, I took my appointment for the 14th of November and I don't know if it'll be a first try-first pass or not. So many people fail the first time because of those mean policemen who only think about making money out of people. Oh well, we'll see how it goes.

On the gaming side, I played Ninja Gaiden (yes, I know it's a bit late) and finished the normal mode in about 5 hours. I'm now in the 'Head Ninja' mode and I'm in the Frost Area. It's a lot harder (that's a good thing) and  I'm waiting to get the last few useful items to get those hard levels. It's short though and the extras are somehow wrongly hidden. I mean, they are well hidden yes, but once one miss it, you cannot get back to get the extras, which sort of bugs me. Oh well, after that I'll be picking up Golden Sun again to get the other things I wanted to get for the script.
