Why are you so so serious, let's put a smile on that face . . .

The title is pun intended , but it has no whatsoever reference to the dark night, just you will see ... lots and lots of smilies... :) Smile..... As you will bombard with 100 different type of smilies

Here are a very long list of properly "documented" uses of emoticons. This had been sitting in my email inbox for a long ....... time. So as might as well share it out to the world ...

:) Hehehe ... It's time to put a smile on that face ... :D

:-) Your basic smilie. This smilie is used to inflect a sarcastic or
joking statement since we can't hear voice inflection over Unix.
;-) Winky smilie. User just made a flirtatious and/or sarcastic remark.
More of a "don't hit me for what I just said" smilie.
:-( Frowning smilie. User did not like that last statement or is upset
or depressed about something.

good as a happy smilie
:-> User just made a really biting sarcastic remark. Worse than a :-).
:-> User just made a really devilish remark.

UPDATE: Adding extra info for server  .
                  Corrected info on Moon server
 

Ming Server - Is the one of the pioneer server in Wang Ulu back then where everyone of Wang Ulu students enjoyed *up to date* movies , Taiwan drama series, music, drama series , engineering software and also host some BBS chatboard. In recent sem , traffic to Ming server decline significantly due to more popular method of sharing using http sharing such as Apache.It is also the only server which broadcast RED.FM radio station using shoutcast. It is also the server that host Diablo 2 games which most male students played quite a while.

Eric Server - A mirror to Ming Server as the traffic to Ming server always on overload

Jian server - The main server that took away the Ming server title which host a lot movies , music by using browser . There are also hidden adult videos somewhere  in the server which probably push it to top.You can also stream it using VLC player ( with some intermediate computing skills) to watch it without downloading the files.

Metamorphosis server - Since the CrazyRay ( Primary DotA server is down due to unknown reasons ) , Metamorphosis take up the mantle to host the DotA games.

Greenhat Underground Portal - This is the true blue student portal where there are forums , chat room , e-mail for students of Wang Ulu to interact with each other. In this portal , you can also play flash games to release stress and also uncanny ability to post the high score onto the forum.

Moon server  - The server which I updated the popular anime such as Naruto , One Piece and Bleach every week (subbed in Chinese) , there is also a working chatroom. Currently this sem , he also host Hong Kong drama, movies,entertainment shows from time to time

CrazyRay - Apart from hosting DotA with dedication 24 hours a day , Ray server also host  WoW games for 1 semester using ManGoS . Unfortunately , due to few players playing , the server forced to shut down in the upcoming sem

If you are a owner and you see there is something wrong with the info , you can post comments. :) I will updated it.

How to Backpacking in Malaysia

Whenever someone mention backpacking , most of us would wander far off to Europe but as for me , Malaysia is also one of the cool way to backpack around.

Here I share what how I am backpacking around Malaysia whenever I am in semester break.

Backpack is not always by foot , heard before "Car Backpacking" ?
-Backpacking doesn't necessarily mean that we need to go by foot, even by car it is considered a backpacking activities for me. Once, I had a friend who travel around in his car doing a survey on educational in his own car for every states in Peninsular of Malaysia. Hence if got a car to spare , why don't use it ? Malaysia aren't known to be nice to pickup hitch hiker. ALWAYS service the car by the authorized mechanist before on the big ride. Also you can eliminate the need of travel light since you are traveling by car. :D

( : ) This is the grand example of "Car Backpacking" )

Get a travel bud
-A buddy in need is a buddy in need, hence find a buddy who is almost same level of macho-ness, cool attitude and pattern as you , as you don't want to have a nocturnal as problems arise when you share the room. Travel buddy is indispensable because they can share the joy of discovering something new, split cost , extra sense of security , someone to help you carry you out in case of drunk moments . ;) . Hence before starting out, PLAN the trip TOGETHER as the trip doesn't lean to one side preferences and also agree on the BUDGET either spend on shoestring or extragavently .


( Getting a travel bud is easy but finding the RIGHT bud is difficult as different people have different preferences )

DSLR Camera ? Keep it at home
-In any of my backpacking trip, I NEVER brings them out because it is a way to scream you are rich making you the thief magnet and also it is cumbersome to travel around with it on foot. Travel light using 5 MP/8MP phone camera with 8GB memory card should be suffice to take photos since most of us post our travels pics in Facebook and not some travel blog or agency. I only use DSLR for family photograph and some important functions.

(No offence to Nikon, they produce good quality DSLR . :) Just to show my points)

Bring plenty of cashes as possible
-Not in every place you go , the credit card will be accepted, hence be prepared with extra cashes in hand in case of emergencies arises especially in rural areas where the green speak louder than the card and also some rural area do not have ATM. Or not having enough cash ? Try bartering with the unusual goods like rokok kretek , chocolates , colour pencils (you brought from home) if you are really interior places like Sarawak Bario Highlands.

(As a general rule , keep RM 500 in yourself and another RM 500 in the car, diversify the $ in different storage places :If you that had much $ to spare in first place :P : ...)

Train the stamina
-Although you are traveling by car, there are in time you need to fix the blown tires , call for PLUS truck pulley by running to nearest booth toll to make a call or sidetrack to do a short trekking/bicyle trekking , you still need have the stamina to do it. As rule of thumb, build up your stamina daily either by gym or jogging or taichi or whatever the sports to build up your strength for at least 3 months before the actual backpacking .


(I love having big strong muscular biceps arm ... )

Enjoy the Journey
-Although reaching the destinations is a priority itself but the journey along to that places makes it count such as tasting local cuisines, sight-seeing and other wonderful kinds of memories. It is better to make MISTAKES in a journey so that you know the enjoyment of being lost in somewhere and sometimes and enjoy part of the journey itself.

(A typical exaggerated scenario: Oh no I over turned at last junction and now I arrived in China . :) Never mind I see what China offers to me)

I will add more points from time to time in case I remember at all

Cunning Teacher VS Smart Students

Don't ever owned your homeroom teacher, (s)he might pawn you back ! :E

Making a better Pokemon Game-Boy Games !

When I was still in secondary school , I still remember use the diskette (Note of its storage size: 1.44 MB) to store the Pokemon Blue , Red , Green and Yellow (per diskette) and the EMULATOR and load it up in my secondary school computer club when it is recess time. Hence, this is when I love all of the of 1st generations of Pokemon. :) It used to be the "in" thing compared to nowaday kids boast about their Maple Story character . ;P

(I still remember I bought each coloured diskette for each Pokemon Versions ! :P Blue for Ver Blue So on & So forth . Diskette around that time cost about RM 2.00 per piece . Orange disk , hmm .... )



vs

(Red Vs Red Fire. Notice the graphics improves drastically all this almost one decade !)


Of course I appreciate all the changes it bought all these years such as dual battle system (2 vs 2 system) , enhanced separate compartment of inventory , radio,cell,real time watch integrated to Pokedex, new skill , new HM (Dive,Waterfall, Whirlpool, Rock Climb ), dual element type (Eg: Dragon+Fire 0.0!) , new transport mode, new regions to explore Kanto, Johto and Sinnoh ,poke berry and poke contest . However there are something that I want the Pokemon Franchise to change , since it is all about capture them all and level grinding only. Here is my own 2-cents opinion how to improve the Pokemon.


(1) Quality Control



Ok , I take a few Pokemon of current gen to compete 1st Gen of Pokemon for ugliness.

In my opinion , the most ugliest 1st gen is Jynx .






Now I just random take from the current gen pokemon ( Gen IV)


A for Abomasnow
(What on earth is this ? Yeti with vegetations on hand and leg ? )


B for Burmy
(Cocoon worm ? Sheep ? Pretty ugly Pokemon to me ... )
C for Carnivine


(OMFG , it is creepy .... Dont hug me !!!!)


D for Drifblim


( Is this an animal or plant ? WTF ??? )


See ... I just pick RANDOMLY only . If I pick more , you will fell more sick than ever , please Art Design Team , Please carefully vet the Pokemon to be release ! )


(Bonus : Still Don't believe me? I give you 4 more E,F,G,H )

E for Electivire



(Doc Octopus ? ... Erm .. Nope !)



F for Froslass



(Hmm... Mirror mirror on the wall , who is the ugliest among all? )



G for Gabite

( He looked angry cos he is downright ugly !)



H for Hippowdon

( Yawn .. I am going stop posting about ugliest Pokemon)



See ... What did I tell you about Quality Control ? :(


Ok , I know the motto of Pokemon is " Gonna catch'em all!" But who would be in right mind to capture 600 pokemons +++ 600 F%#%@%!*#^%#$ G HUNDREDS ... So I think some of the ugly Pokemon above can be extincted . :P Lol ...


(2) Improvise on the Plot


The Pokemon starting is always clichéd , you are a teen boy / girl hit puberty and now on the quest to become a Pokemon Master and battle the gym leader to fight Elite 4 to become Pokemon Master but when you recycle the plot for almost 10 years , it can start getting stale. So how about start to add some extra "ingredients" ?

(I hate over - charged plot ! You know .... )


As we see in the series , Ash Ketchum have a mother but we never see his father. So how about giving a twist to the plot ? One day , Ash receives a note and a mysterious Pokeball from his Dad presumably dead state that the Pokemon inside are the only one who can reach him but he needs to become stronger to gain control of that Pokemon. Despite being a JRPG , the clichéd story about thwarting the bad guys plan need to be stopped right this moment ! Just give the game a deep sense of RPG actions . . .


(3) Different starting type Pokemon

Since from the day one Pokemon been release , it's been the triangle versus elements of fire type , water type and grass type , and its been a long cycle since it is been like this. Hmm .. Can you please change a bit . Such as .... for example maybe Fighting Type , Psychic Type and Dark Type or Steel Type , Rock Type and Electric Type . As long as I didn't see anymore of those Red , Green and Blue !




(4) Some new villains ...

He is been here as long as I remember, even with Team Aqua and Team Magmar and Team Galaxy , I think most of us are getting fed up with "Evil Organization Stereotype" why wouldn't you add new "solo" villains ? Such as a mad scientist in a scientist attempts to create a device to turn human into Pokemon ( Who cares whether it's logic or not ?) and attempts to activate the devices on a particular festival in a town . The hero's just arrived in time to watch this happened and try to catch up with mad scientist . How about it for beginner ?

How to save $_$ in UniMAP (Or any other Uni for that matters)

Financial woes is a common problems among the students as the ants infestation in typical country in equator. But then as you see , some manage to stay debt free , some needs to pay back PTPTN loan ( Govt study loan ) and some is really really indebted up to thousands. But as they say , saving for a rainy day is one of the principles I held in my life in my first 3 years in UniMAP.

(1) Create an expenditure (Spending plan)

As students we don't really have that income to dispose yet, so why not we try to create a good habit by planning ahead what we spend using the budget that we have (either from loans or parents). Just a take any old unused exercise books and write each and every spendings dailies or better create an excel spreadsheet to record it. Therefore, you can track the daily flow (usually outflow) of your expenditure.

(2) Examine current spending

A major reason more uni students don’t manage their money more intelligently is that they don’t really have a clue how they currently spend it. Sadly, far too many students simply spend their money on whatever is most immediately appealing with little regard to an overall financial plan. It might surprise you to find out that 80% of your money goes toward food, for instance, when you can actually eat for less on campus. But you’ll never know this or anything else about your spending if you don’t spend an afternoon to figure it out. For some students, this will be all the motivation necessary to start making the other changes on this list.

(3) Pay it by yourself

To see if you really need something, try first by testing if you are willing paying it with your own pocket money such as 10 ringgit for a cup of Starbucks., Hence, when you stop and examine the spending , the amount saved can be raked out to hundreds of ringgit per semester. Resolving to save something – anything – is more important than how much is saved, although more is certainly better. Again – forming the habit counts more than the immediate results.

(4) Establish an emergency fund

When you enter uni , you are in full obligations of your financial situations and of course our lives is full of unexpected stuffs. For examples: blown tire, a broken laptop , lost (pickpocketted) handphone and such. Each of these can make a students life more uncomfortable. Most uni students probably cannot afford to save up for every conceivable emergency, so just save for the most predictable and difficult ones. It’ll be worth it when something goes wrong and you can confidently reach into your emergency fund rather than take out the credit card.

(5) Apply for membership card

In certain big box stores , there are special discounts at certain hours (aka Happy Hours) for the card holder members. Usually the registration is free of charge or only as low as RM 5 per annum. This is the way to save if you planning to buy in bulk and get hefty discount up to 20% in my calculations rather than if you don't become a member. Also usually , it is also tied up to loyalty program which either redeem a gift or buy the usual expensive stuffs at a fractions of original price (e.g Perfumes , sport shoes) which add more to the value.

(6) Apply zero tolerance on debt

Here’s a hard-and-fast rule every student can rely on. If what you are considering going into debt for does not appreciate in value, do not go into debt for it. Under this rule, about the only things it makes sense to take on debt for are student loans (since your degree will raise your income), a mortgage (since real estate tends to appreciate) or starting a business (though that’s fairly risky, considering the high rate of business start-ups). What you absolutely should not go into debt for are things like clothes, music, fast food, alcohol, spontaneous vacations, or pretty much anything else the typical college student nonchalantly puts on debt. What do all these things have in common? You guessed it – they all decrease in value. Paying interest and fees for items that are progressively worth less is not smart and will only delay achieving your other financial goals. You should have a goal for how much credit card debt to have and that goal should be zero.

(7) Don't immediately buy the textbook

This is the fatal mistake I make during the 1st year. I buy all the textbook required for the semester and later found out most of it I never use it to open it and study. I still revered lecture notes as my teacher. :P Of course, many lecturers will use the required texts, but if you can avoid buying even one or two textbooks a semester, that can easily translate to hundreds of ringgit that go to your savings goals instead of the book suppliers and commission to your lecturer. At a bare minimum, wait for two weeks of classes to elapse before deciding to buy a textbook or not or go PHOTOCOPY it. For me , I download from e-book sites for free . (P.S: I do not encourage privacy ;P)

(8) Increase income

Most of us aren't born with silver spoon in the mouth and also most of us aren't bunch of Smart Aleck that feeds off scholarship. Then , we can also do some part time jobs in our spare time. For example I had some friends who are currently dabble in business and meanwhile maintain the grade. For example, some involved in photocopying (Xerox) business,some involved in food industry, some involved in cosmetic and beauty wellness, some involved in cellphone prepaid topup services and some involved in retails. Actually , what kind of business you do is OK as long as it is safe and legal and the job you do didn't mess up with your grade. :)

That's all for today . And to all UniMAP students (or any uni) , strive all out for the last sem exam !

Every teens boy dream .. :)

Why did chicken cross the road according to history famous people

Plato:  For the greater good.

Aristotle:  To fulfill its nature on the other side.

Karl Marx:  It was a historical inevitability.

Machiavelli:  So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a
chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend
with such a paragon of avian virtue?  In such a manner is the princely
chicken's dominion maintained.

Hippocrates:  Because of an excess of light pink gooey stuff in its
pancreas.

Jacques Derrida: Any number of contending discourses may be discovered
within the act of the chicken crossing the road, and each
interpretation is equally valid as the authorial intent can never be
discerned, because structuralism is DEAD, DAMMIT, DEAD!

Thomas de Torquemada:  Give me ten minutes with the chicken and I'll
find out.

Timothy Leary:  Because that's the only kind of trip the Establishment
would let it take.

Douglas Adams:  Forty-two.

Nietzsche:  Because if you gaze too long across the Road, the Road
gazes also across you.

Oliver North:  National Security was at stake.

B.F. Skinner:  Because the external influences which had pervaded its
sensorium from birth had caused it to develop in such a fashion that
it would tend to cross roads, even while believing these actions to be
of its own free will.

Carl Jung:  The confluence of events in the cultural gestalt
necessitated that individual chickens cross roads at this historical
juncture, and therefore synchronicitously brought such occurrences
into being.

Jean-Paul Sartre:  In order to act in good faith and be true to
itself, the chicken found it necessary to cross the road.

Ludwig Wittgenstein:  The possibility of "crossing" was encoded into
the objects "chicken" and "road", and circumstances came into being
which
caused the actualization of this potential occurrence.

Albert Einstein:  Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road
crossed the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.

Aristotle:  To actualize its potential.

Buddha:  If you ask this question, you deny your own chicken-nature.

Howard Cosell:  It may very well have been one of the most astonishing
events to grace the annals of history.  An historic, unprecedented
avian biped with the temerity to attempt such an herculean achievement
formerly relegated to homo sapien pedestrians is truly a remarkable
occurence.

Salvador Dali:  The Fish.

Darwin:  It was the logical next step after coming down from the
trees.

Emily Dickinson:  Because it could not stop for death.

Epicurus:  For fun.

Ralph Waldo Emerson: It didn't cross the road; it transcended it.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe:  The eternal hen-principle made it do it.

Ernest Hemingway:  To die.  In the rain.

Werner Heisenberg:  We are not sure which side of the road the chicken
was on, but it was moving very fast.

David Hume:  Out of custom and habit.

Jack Nicholson:  'Cause it (censored) wanted to.  That's the
(censored) reason.

Pyrrho the Skeptic: What road?

The Sphinx:  You tell me.

Henry David Thoreau:  To live deliberately ... and suck all the marrow
out of life.

Mark Twain:  The news of its crossing has been greatly exaggerated.

Mishima:   For the beauty of it. The chicken's extension of its
sinuous legs sent shivers of a dark despair into the souls not only of
the silently watching hens but also the roosters, who felt a sudden
sexual desire for their exquisite comrade.  The dark courage of the
chicken was as beautiful as drops of dew upon jade at midnight, struck
by a partial moon, its light filtered through clouds. One of the
deeply aroused roosters could stand the intensity of the moment no
more and bit off the head of the beautiful, courageous chicken-hero,
whose wine blood was deliciously drunken by the road, and he died.

Johnny Cochran:  The chicken didn't cross the road. Some
chicken-hating, genocidal, lying public official moved the road right
under the chicken's feet while he was practicing his golf swing and
thinking about his family.

Camus:  The chicken's mother had just died.  But this did not really
upset him, as any number of witnesses can attest.  In fact, he
crossed just because the sun got in his eyes.

John Sununu (again):  I would argue that the chicken never crossed the
road at all.  That it is a story concocted by the Clinton
Administration to distract attention from their failed agriculture
policy. Where is the evidence that the chicken crossed the road?
Where, Michael?

Michael Kinsley:  Oh, John, come on!  Everybody knows the chicken
crossed the road.  What evidence do you need?  It's obvious that the
chicken crossed the road.  Your whole argument is just a smoke and
mirror tactic to distract us from the fact that most chickens polled
now back the Democratic Party.  You ought to be ashamed of yourself,
John.

Siskel:  I don't know why it crossed the road, but I loved it.  Thumbs
up!

Ebert:  I disagree.  The whole thing left the audience wondering; the
chicken's crossing the road was never clearly explained and the
chicken didn't emote very well.  It couldn't even speak English!
Thumbs down.

Plant Vs Zombie in real life and lyrics to theme songs

The most nice tower defense game I ever played.
The zombie is not too scary and the plants are well so cute ....

By the way , I include Plant Vs Zombie lyrics ," There Is A Zombie On Your Lawn "' which are totally rhythm and sound  catching .

There Is A Zombie On Your Lawn

By : Laury Shigihara

♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫

Sunflower . . .

♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫

One .

Two ..

Three ...

Woot .....

There is a zombie on your lawn 

There is a zombie on your lawn 

There is a zombie on your lawn 

We don't want zombies on the lawn 

I know your type

tall,

dark 

and dead 

You want to bite all the petals off of my head

and then eat the brains of the one who planted me here 

SCREAMING : NO !!!

I am just a sunflower but see

me power an entire infantry

You like taste of brains

we don't like zombies

♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫

Football zombie: I used to play football.

Chorus: Football ...

Cone head zombie: Road cones protect my head

Chorus: Protect my head ...

Screen door zombie: I had a screen door shield

Chorus: Door Shield ...

All the zombies chorus: We are the undead ...

♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫

There is a zombie on your lawn

There is a zombie on your lawn 

There is a zombie on your lawn 

We don't want zombies on the lawn 

Maybe it is the time to reevaluate

I know you have a lot of food on your plate

Brains are quite rich in cholesterol 

You are dead

so it does not matter

Instead, we will use this solar power

to make a lawn defense at any hour

♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫

Digger zombie: I like your tricycle

Chorus: Tricycle

Butter head zombie: There is butter on my head

Chorus: On my head

Dolphin zombie: I am gonna eat your brains

Chorus: Lalalala ...

All the zombies chorus: We are the undead

♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫

There is a zombie on your lawn

There is a zombie on your lawn 

There is a zombie on your lawn 

We don't want zombies on the lawn

Reanimate Dead Mall

Today , I am going to talk about dead mall. Which is not related to the certain Left 4 Dead 2 campaign at all

( Not anything related to my article although I enjoy this part of campaign )

( It's more about this, the abandoned , unused ,derelict , ghost mall)

So what is all this dead mall is about ? To cut it short I copy/paste Wikipedia articles on it.

" Dead mall is a shopping center with a high vacancy rate or a low consumer traffic level, or that is dated or deteriorating in some manner."

Seems now my sleepy town also have 3 dead malls due to fierce competition from Carrefour , Pacific , The Store , Jusco and Tesco. But we are not going to mourn the demise of the dead mall but rather how to revitalize it.

(1) Indoor urban theme paintball sport.

A lot of outdoor theme paintball sports center has opened but none had the appeal to the urban themed (a.k.a indoor theme). The plenty of space , the counter-strike atmosphere should make any extreme paintballist jumped with joy. Plus you can paint the whole building for free. :P

(2) Community services

Sometimes now and then, community oriented services such as indoor sports stadium, wedding hall, community college classrooms, libraries, golden senior clubhouse , nonprofit arts groups (gallery / museums) and places of worship can benefit the most from the cheap rent and plus you no need to search for parking again as it is part of the package

(* T&C Applied. *)

(3) Ampli Theater

Cinemas inside the mall can be retrofitted into ampli-theater as it is cheap for traveling art performers to perform their arts there.

(4) Education center

The private college can take up the whole dead mall and refurbish to become lecture hall, auditorium, lab , etc... and also divide/convert parts of it to become hostel that can be rented towards the students as well as parking places.

(5) Office spaces

As the rent of spaces becomes high , this out of traffic will provide some soft landings for SME (Small Medium Enterprise) or start up company to rent this dead mall as they will be lower in cost or the heck of it, buy the whole unit . :D Kakaka ..

Well, I guess I am pretty run out of ideas. What do you think ?.

DotA items I would like to have in my workplace.

Imagine your work office as DotA battleground, the enemy heroes are your boss , chief, director and the workload as spell .

Familiar ? (P.S : Don't play DotA during working hours !)

If there are anything like the following 6 items I want to carry to work , this is it !
This ought to stock up 6 items for my inventories

(1) Butterfly

+30 Agility
+30 Damage
30% Evasion
+30 Attack Speed

I can do work more faster, try to evade as much work as humanely possible , try to finish off my daily work report .

(2) Linken's Sphere

+6 HP/sec regeneration
+150% mana
regeneration
+15 Strength
+15 Agility
+15 Intelligence
Blocks most targeted spells once every 20 seconds

I want to nullify a (workload) once in a while too plus regenerations of the stamina and boost to your strength to maximize the daily work output.

(3) Lothar Edge

+38 damage
+10 attack speed
Wind Walk (active)

I want to turn invisible when my supervisor finds me. Even for 10 seconds. :)

(4) Animal Courier

A
imal Courier
Summons an Animal Courier to carry items for you
Animal Courier is not affected by most spells
Items an Animal Courier is carrying will drop to the ground if it dies
Costs 5 mana

If possible , I want a trainee for myself too (to share my workload a bit) ;) ...

(5) Sentry Ward



Places a Sentry Ward to give True Sight of the surrounding area
Sentry Ward has 200 vision, 800 AoE True Sight, 200 HP, and is invisible
Sentry Ward lasts 3 minutes


It's must have for me as it makes me more to be more observant in work and monitor any juicy gossips in the office

(6)Aghanim's Scepter



+10 all attributes
+200 HP
+150 mana
Ultimate Upgrade (passive)

An ultimate items that will increase my strength and my brain juice and my Thunderwrath Ultimate skill, nice ....

RESULTS :

A SUPERCHARGED me !
