Atlantica In-Game

Started playing it since last saturday

* Graphic *

Way better than World of Warcraft
but can't really compete with Granada Espada

* Sound *

The bgm during monster engagement is very similar to those Final Fantasy series, whereas the other bgm is really disappointing... worst is the character's vocal which is sometimes really feel annoying

* Battle System & Levelling *

Turn based strategy, this wouldn't be new to those Playstation RPG/SLG fans. With the limited time frame, you are to decide which skill to cast & which monster to kill.
You're controlling a total of 9 character, the EXP distribution is independant & only assign to those who have made a strike on the mobs.
This is a little tough, as the balance among them is a problem, especially those who can do multiple hits (like axe & spear) who can easiliy outshine the rest.
Variety choice of mercenaries for you to choose, the mercenary selection is the key to battle winning, each mercenery will have its pros & cons, putting the same mercenary in different formation will affect its overall performance.

Overall, i will say the game did satisfied me
Will upload some screenshot later...

Let the Past Be the Past 往事已矣

Let Bygones Be Bygones

往事已矣不堪回首
是时候把过去放下
莫回顾过去的事迹
历史已烙印于心底
莫后悔犯下的错误
弥补的机会不再有
莫响往她的好与坏
因我俩已成陌生人

It is done and it is all over
There is nothing you can do about it
It doesn’t matter what you do now, you cannot change the past
As the past has got you to where you are today now move on

reap what you sew~
无条件的付出，
一定会有回报吗？
如果是
那会是相等于我所付出的回报吗？
有时质疑自己
上天为何赐予我这般的痛苦
后悔当初，我不能坚持到底
滚滚红尘，焉能事事皆如我所愿
错过了你，终究是我一生的遗憾

见兔而顾犬，未为晚也
亡羊而补牢，未为迟也
Though things happened cannot be undo
but preventive action is always viable
to ensure similar stupidity would never happened ever again...
yes, NEVER !!

如今的我
只能做好自己
坏习惯终究不是一朝一夕就能改变的
惟有尽我所能，做到最好
珍惜我目前所拥有
其他的只能苦笑

Atlantica Online 王者世界

I'm about to play this mmorpg as it seems to be very additive to me. Back to olden days, used to play PS game for this sort of RPG/SLG game, e.g. Final Fantasy series, Dragon Quest series, Star Ocean, Final Fantasy Tactic, Persona, which is my all time favourite. I am now in the process of downloading the client (2.2GB woot! such a big size, not yet include all the patches) for installation later. Meanwhile, let's have some introduction for this prestige Korean game.

TURN-BASED BATTLE SYSTEM

Atlantica returns to the roots of traditional RPGs and incorporates classic turn-based combat while combining movement elements for deep strategic action! Experience the tactical combat missing from the modern MMORPG.

MERCENARY SYSTEM

Recruit up to 18 mercenaries to join you in your travels. Have up to 8 mercenaries fight alongside you in battle, and shuffe your lineup as the situation calls for. Devise new tactics and maneuver accordingly during combat to expose your enemy's weakness. Mercenaries, like your hero, advance in both level and rank as they get stronger.

PLAYER VERSUS PLAYER

Test your might and mettle against your fellow players. Participating in the Free Leagues will test your pugilistic powers every three hours of the day. And put your money where your boast is by posting a Challenge; then take on all comers wanting to wrest that gold from you.

TOWN CONTROL / GOVERNMENT SYSTEM

Players have the ability to operate guilds that can take control of a town. Once in power, there are many variables to account for with the control of this community, including the town's policies for security, culture, industry, commerce, health, and the planning and construction of buildings. If you control a town, you have the potential to form your own nation. If you embrace the power, you can become king, with abilities and powers that no other player can possess. You can hire more people and influence guild masters under your command to wield even more power. In addition, you can wage war on other nations to amass wealth.

GUILD SYSTEM

Guilds are integral to most MMORPGs and there is no exception here. Guilds offer companionship for enhanced gameplay experience. But membership in a guild in Atlantica offers much more, including easier crafting, guild-exclusive dungeons, and guild points redeemable for rare items.

KNOWLEDGE IMPARTATION SYSTEM
Teach the skills you've learned to your peers, or share your knowledge of monsters you have encountered with novices to help them on their journey.

ECONOMY SYSTEM

Atlantica utilizes a player-driven economic system. Players alone craft nearly all of the items and equipment in the game after collecting the required materials throughout the world. Atlantica was developed to create 'demand' and then 'supply' the necessary materials in a way that economic stability is guaranteed.

CRAFTING SYSTEM

Forge weapons, concoct portions and create necessary supplies using various materials acquired from your enemies. Why stop there? Learn up to 34 different crafting skills available and progress through 100 levels to learn to craft even more powerful items. Refine your weapons through enchantments or enhancements to deal greater damage. A refined weapon will glow, striking fear into the hearts of your enemies

Reason to Love 爱の理由

爱不是用口说的，而是行动做出来的~
今天看了个贴子，其实也蛮赞同他的意见的

想要骗你，跟你做爱做的事情的男人都会说 ：

1. 以后结婚后，你还不是要给我？
2. 我会娶你的。。
3. 你已经是我老婆了还怕什么。。
4. 你不爱我吗？
5. 我不做的话不能睡，很不舒服。。
6. 你要就给，不要就滚远一点 （这个是搞笑版）
   

已婚的，想搞婚外情而骗外遇的男人都会说 ：

1. 我和她已经没有感情
2. 我们是挂名夫妻
3. 给我时间，我会和她离婚
4. 我对她好，她不会珍惜

其实这些但求为了要发生关系的借口，
我们在影幕上也看过不少
可偏偏还是有女生依然把持不住，为之迷惑

或许这就是女人的独特之处吧，感性而不理性~
哪句是甜言，哪句是谎言，
在当局者迷的情况之下，已经混绕不清了
幸运的，他对你负责，白头偕老，永结同心
厄运的，他对你始乱终弃，在你人生中涂下污点，导致你遗憾终身

女人，请爱惜自己，
懂得尊重你的，才是你值得托付终身的男人！

ISO 9001:2008

A new standard ISO 9001:2008 was published and enforced for implementation for each and every certified company with effect from 15 November 2008
(the old standard will be expired 2 years after this new release).

Being informed that there is no major changes but yet we are advised to undergone 1-2 days training on Gap Analysis ISO 9001:2000 vs ISO 9001:2008 to understand the additional minor requirements and to amend the organisation's QMS accordingly.

Well, I'm yet to attend such a training course, but was given some handouts from CI Malaysia. Basically, after going through the handouts given and i found that it is only some very minor changes, below are my findings and opinion on the changes :

• re-phrase the sentence to express
  
• switching the word "equipment" to "device" and vice versa
• putting more NOTES at the end paragraph (more on giving examples and/or further explanation)

As far as i can understand, the main issue of this new release is focus on 2 area

• clause 4.1 - Outsourcing (the type and control imposed on outsourcing)
  
• clause 6.4 - Work Environment (include physical, environmental and other factors)
  
• clause 5.5.2 - Management Representative (QMR to be appointed from own management staff, those consultant acting QMR shall no longer have the business opportunity on those small company who unable to manage it)
  

My company is involved in the construction line, outsourcing play a major role in every project undertaken, namely sub-contracting the work package to third party and/or procurement of finished product for installation on site. Hence, my concern is more on what is the specific guideline and/or requirement on how to ensure control over the outsourcing process...Some of the aspect I feel that it is redundant if a new procedure has to be created on this, as there are over-lapping processes which were previously documented :

Control on outsourced Supplier
By undergone a the selection and evaluation of the supplier as stipulated in the Purchasing Procedure.

Control on outsourced Sub-Contract Service
By undergone a the selection and evaluation of the sub-contractor as stipulated in the Tender Procedure Procedure and/or Process Validation in Project Implementation Procedure.

Multilingualism 多种语言

大马华裔是公认的多种语言种族，
大多数的华裔子女都可以运用英语、马来语和华语，
甚至还有一些华族的方言，如广东、福建、客家等等
（这乃流传于各家庭的不同籍贯）
至于流利与否就因人而异了...

之前看到某个部落指责我们的教育方针滥而不专
说什么小学华语，中学马来语，大学英语
每个过程都得重新开始学习，搞到甚多华族的语言才能都是半桶水的...
我国乃多元种族国家，单一语言本身就是不可能的啦
很庆幸巫族并没有罢免我们的母语而统一马来语

其实如果把观点放远一些，这其实是利多于弊
能够掌握多一种语言，你的个人价值必然随着提高（以流利为准）
虽说华语在我国的社会上没什么作为，
凡和政府部门接触，用的是马来语，私人机构则用英语
华语只能成为我们闲谈或非公式之用
然而，如果处身于国际市场，那就另当别论
朋友在上海工作，那些所谓的鬼佬，不得已也得学我们的华语叻
不然就得请个翻译员，挺麻烦的~

我本人还想学日语叻
不用每次看日剧都得看字幕~！

Prologue 崭新的部落

今天突然心血来潮，上网找寻如何创作部落格
冥冥中，来到这里留下脚印
以前常阅读他人的部落格，现在尝试一下制作部落格的滋味...
也为这全新2009年里头做出一些改变

或许我只是三分钟的热度，并不能将它发扬光大
哎呀，管它的啦 ~正如人家说的 ：年晚煎堆，人有我有
既来之，则安之吧！
