Plant vs Zombies: Survival: Fog (Hard) Tips

  • The challenge is not enough energy (can't have double sun flower).
  • Have to use garlic (when one lane is weaken) and ice-shroom (very effective as last resort when your front line of defense is weaken and also effective to deal with large invasions).
  • Biggest threat is catapult zombies. Have to use 'umbrella leaf'. Plant two of it near to the edge and to the pool.
  • Have to use pumpkin to protect all plants, including the energy shroom.
  • Another threat is the 'digger zombie'.To deal with this,plant 4 magnets at the land lanes (one on each lane). Without the digger, it cannot penetrate the ground. Once the digger has been absorbed by the magnet, it will be forced out of the ground.
  • Plant two cattails at the edge of the pool (left side) to deal with balloon zombies, zombies thrown into the edge and also as backup for other lanes)
  • Use a combination of corn and repeater on a single lane. The corn is able to slow down zombies when butter is thrown, this will be your advantage.
  • The most effective way of dealing with Gargantuar is using ice-shroom and corn (which throws out butter) to slow it down while the shooting pea (with fire) shoots it from behind.
  • Plant two lanterns near the right side of the pool to clear the fog.

Just Bought A Brand New MW829BK

I wanted to a shoe which is 2+1 or 3+1, means it can be suitable for the following:

1.) Walking

2.) Casual

3.) Semi formal

In other words, I am looking for something which is almost all-in-one and lasting.

My experience told me that having good shoes is important, especially if you need to walk a lot, it can save your energy (do not get unnecessary fatigues) and make you walk faster (with the same amount of load).

And to be able to work with semi formal, I need it to be in all black color.

Thus, instead of getting a real leather shoe, I thought why not get something from the sports manufacturer ?

I have shortlisted a few from the Internet, but seems like online browsing does not blend well with real touch.


Eventually, I settled for New Balance MW829BK. The original price is RM 339.00 with 30%, I got it with RM 240++

I went to the shop at The Gardens (3rd Floor).

Trust me, it is a good deal. A good way to save money.

Now with this new shoe, I have no worries if I need to walk day long with pubic transport, or jump into my car for some business events.

Plant vs Zombies - Survival - Pool (Hard)

Tips:

The biggest challenge is at the pool's lanes with threats coming from Dolphin Rider Zombie which will jump into the water and emerge at the second plant out of water. If you do not manage this properly, you will end up losing the pool's defense.

To do this properly, make use of pumpkin to protect the plant.


Another tips is to try to make use of double headed sunflower to give you double energy and save spaces.

The third tips is to always put a shooting plant at the last plant at the edge of the house. This is so that the last defense will always be something that is shooting the zombie in case of those jumping zombies or those which can dig the floor and penetrate your front line of defense.

When you are sick and tired and fed-up and stressed-up #2

Previously, we have seen that When you are sick and tired and fed-up and stressed-up.. , the solution is not to continue with your work and go on to learn new things.

But what about if you have to keep going for the day, you can't stop doing your work,you can't take leave, what should you do ?

The solution is to think about living each day as your last day, then you will get some form of rejuvenation.

You will start to appreciate existing moment.

Doing Business, Need Help ?

The keyword is 'Having Controls'

The best thing about having your own business or being entrepreneur is that you have control of everything.

Ultimately, the goal is to make more money. (This is something that I've always forgotten)

Thus, you must not react according to your feelings. (This is something that I've always forgotten)

You can earn any money any time the next minute onwards.

It is the license to make money, you must remember this. If you are under employment, you do not have the license.

The idea is to have the ability to survive on a very thin basis (just enough) and then once you can do that, proceed to make money further. If you can't do that, do not proceed.

Do not based on feelings.

You can count on luck, because that is what going to make you stand out from others.

Have to always think whether it is worth it before making any decisions.

Two Generations Home Loan ?

I can't actually believe this is going to happen ?

With such big land and small population in this country.

Looks like the country has ran out of idea of uplifting the economy.

Would you care less ? Tough call.

一天走一步

一天走一步,其实是每一秒走一步。

要会享受。。 其实也不是,因该是要懂得自己的放向,生活的意识。

有时上山,有时下山。

有慢,也有快。

但是,上山不一定是比下山慢,因为当您兴奋时,总会走快点。

一秒走一步,一个站过一个站。

When you are sick and tired and fed-up and stressed-up..

Do not continue with work, learn new things.

If you are in IT, you will find that it is a blessing, because there are so many new things to learn.

If you already know MSSQL 2005, check out MySQL.

If you already know JOOMLA, check out Drupal.

If you already know VB.NET, check out C++

If you already know C++, check out Java.

The list goes on.

Oh, by the way, remember to write down notes.

You will get back into momentum.

放下也是岸



苦海无边,回头是岸

我认为,放下也是岸。

’空有无二‘ 是说 ‘不执空,不执有’

空性是指一切事物的存在,是无自性,没有不变不灭的实体,所以它才是实相。

所以,生活要提防问题。不可要求太完美。

Taman Tasik Metropolitan (Kepong)

This place is called Taman Tasik Metropolitan.


It is about 4 km, not much hilly on the main route, just some slopes. There are toilets in between, but you have to pay.

Direction to go there ?

Coming from Bandar Utama, head towards Kepong and then head towards the round about of Jalan Ipoh, it is that big lake on your right side. You just need to make a U-Turn back and immediately after Shell petrol station, slow down and take the first left turn.



Make use of Google Map Malaysia.

When People Don't Believe You, You Just Have to Prove It

If you are Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, whatever things you say will have impact. Period.

Thus when you are not that level, it is hard for people to believe you; you have to prove it.

Just work extra hard lor.

Not only that, we must improve our intellectuals. Play computer games can help. You need to become a better version of you in order to go to the next level.

When you have proved it, you have gone too far. People can't catch up anymore.

This is yet another manifestation of life.

Think About What is Really Worth It

This is not about falling in love and romance.

I started off by graduating from APIIT (2002). I worked hard for my thesis project (a simulation software for taxi hunting). I am proud of it till now.

I had never thought that I will study anything related to computer because truth is, when I was younger, I really hate computers.

Ironically, I got lost (along my teenage life and messed things up) and ended up in APIIT.

I rebuilt my life in APIIT and enrolled into DF9907 and volunteered as class representative.

First year was really challenging and fun. I hadn't done any computer programming in my life and wasn't sure if I can do anything about it.

The first programming exposure was creating algorithm for Fibonaci series. I got stuck initially but I tried. Eventually, I got light about computer programming.

I started to enjoy it and spent most of first year in APIIT doing computer programming especially in the Unix lab.

The proudest moment was when I created a tic-tac-toe games with cursor using Unix COBOL. Hey, that was great you know. And I got praises from people all over.

I felt talented.

When it came second year, my confidence was crushed.

It started when I was switching from Unix based programming to Windows event based programming. I was supposed to do a client server program using VB6 Winsock and I got stuck. Somehow, the event and object-oriented thingy was confusing. I started to question my future in programming.

Even though the project was completed eventually, second year wasn't all that great.

The final year thesis was a great challenge. I really wanted to prove myself and being a risk taker, I proceed with my plans of doing a big project. I almost failed but eventually the project was a success and even the lecturer thinks that I got some stuffs to prove.

Ok, confident soared but that was a tough one.

So, landed the first job as computer programmer for a manufacturing company where me and a few guys were supposed to build the in-house ERP system. Wow! that was really ambitious you know.

If you want to know the truth, I can tell you that whatever skills you have in college will not be good enough in the real world. All of sudden, I realized that there are just so much to learn and seemed like never ending. It was that time which I began to do my own research.

By 1.5 years, I decided that I really hate computer programming and had no future for it. I felt that I was wasting time and I had to find ways to make millions.

I quit and went to sales and marketing. I did that for about 4 years and hadn't make million.

And to amaze you more, I quit sales and marketing and went back to computer programming since 2008; literally starting from scratch (but not really). It is more like a continuation.

It wasn't easy, in fact it was really tough. The first challenge was to find out where I have messed up and started fixing from there. What I mean by this is that I knew that I had to figure out where I had left out and what I didn't understand during that time and what computer programming concepts which went wrong.

Slowly and eventually(step by step, day by day), I conquered the past and master new skills.

And today, I see future in computer programming.

I am not yet famous, but I see future.

What I wanted to share here is that what kept me going was not everything about passion, it was more about worthiness.

If you are caught in such situation, you got to really think about what is worth it. For me it was basically one idea; which is if I can develop a software and sell it, I will make 100% profit. And everything is within my control. That sounds a better strategy to make millions than to sell products of others.

Furthermore, I was looking for something with accumulation effects; the longer you do, the better. And software development seemed fit.

So, when I was at a crossroad two years ago, I really suffered, lonely and unsure. But I thought about what is worth it ?

Today, I am not working as CTO of Microsoft or being a chief programmer of Google, but what I am doing is worthy to me and relevant to the industry.

When things are tough, think about worthiness and try to work around your area of interests and passions.

You have come this far, and how many more to go ?

You also need courage and a lot of it.

I will end with a quote of mine.

"I knew that I didn't choose this life, I just know what to do next." ~ Brandon Teoh.

Good luck dude.
