  • Any Ahbeng always watch football in mamak but dun have balls to kick the real 1, put up ur hands!
  • Any Ahbeng prey football game 1, put up ur hands.!
Ok, today iz Saturday, but I make exception to brog today, so u noe this is big! Yes, FIFA ONLINE baru baru fresh fresh kam out yesterday, now all 7-11 and Popular book store oso got. Faster go get ur own, u wont regret it…!

For limited time, the recent package comes with bonus items. An exclusive item will be given in every pack.

Yes, free 2 prey!




Leng mou teh inside?


In case you are asking, yes. This is mine. I got it free from the game launching. Dun be jeles. LOL.

The game was launched on the 23rd Jan morning in Times Square, 9th floor, Mol-I Café

Launching ceremony banner…

If you are a fan of FIFA and you din go, its reli your lost, becoz got a lot of freebies, and free food samore!

All the big shots from EA and the Malaysian game developer were on the spot to officially launch the game, including this big shot latuk from the gaming kampeni, MyCnx.


Big latuk giving a speech on the stage.


All 3 bigshots officiating FIFA Online 2.


Ok, now bek to the game….

The reason why the game is so happening is because FIFA ONLINE is in conjuction hosting a tournament across southeast asia(Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, etc) with the winner getting away with USD 100,000 from the competition which will be held on the later part of the year.

Not only you will get to play with real players now, you ken experience it at a new level with international players, juz to get a feel lar, at how good is ur skills.

And, in around February 2009, there will be a 30 day tournament for online players with CASH prizes of RM1000 to be won daily!!! Yeah, you heard me correctly, satu libu linccit!!

Like picking gold from the streets. Juz for Mareysians 1. With satu libu linccit, u ken do so many things, especially come economy recession. So you tell me, wan to prey anot?? This is the easiest way to get lich.

Now, more into the game features.

From the last installment, FIFA ONLINE 2 have different improvements. The availability of the game to Malaysians have expanded and now more of our locals are playing the game.

I personally larf this version of FIFA ONLINE becoz now its handled by a mareysian kampeni. At least, now they ken make it more suitable for local people.

And the best of all is that, its free for all to play this original licensed game. All the expenses needed to start is to get the DVD installer from any 7-11 or Popular book store.

So all ahbengs no need malu malu or sked to join this international online game!

The interface menu is different from the normal fifa game menu.


In-game menu (Click to enlarge)

Basically, you got oni two main things to do in this game, play the football matches and impoof ur football team.

First, you get to pick a team that you can afford. Then you can start to play matches with cpu or real players. You get to chat with other players and exchange ideas and thoughts.



Match screen

As the game goes on gradually, you will be able to purchase world class players like Wayne Rooney & Cristiano Ronaldo. You can purchase lotsa different boost and items for your team to improve it.

And when you win matches, your players will gain experience, and you will start to gain points, points that you can use to switch and purchase a new different team, a team that is more fehmes than ur current 1.

That’s all the game is about. To get new players and impoof ur team. Beat other noobs in the game and bekam a world class FIFA player.

Of all the features in FIFA ONLINE 2, the best is the ‘world tour’. Not take feikei go other country lar, but play with other players from other countries. This archerly puts in a lot of chansi for ahbengs like us, becoz we get to play with foreigners and get some feel of being high crass. Not always got chance to prey international game. Free samore.

The game oso won’t grow old 1. That’s becoz the game mia system will constantly update the rosters and the statistics. Means the player ratings will change according to the real life simulation and transfer changes.

This means that if a player changes team in real life, he changes team in the game. If a player gets lousier in real life, his ratings will drop.

Difference of FIFA09 and FIFA ONLINE2


FIFA ONLINE 2

FIFA 09

Real Life Update

Automatic Updates

Requires manual download

Interaction

Easily accessible matches with real players from around the world

Veri mafan. In game connection setup to play with real players requires time.

“Dream” Factor

Will be able to setup ur dream team of all the superstar players in football. Use it and win championships.

Ken setup. But even after setup oso no use. Kenot use it to go against other real life opponents and play it in a league in the internet.


Rawk anot FIFA ONLINE 2? So much fun stuff to do in teh game. Now even I oso addicted ledi!! Later, I will go 1 on 1 with little devil, and train him to bekam the next FIFA King. LOL

Wingz Can Cook - Aglio Oglio Simple Valentine Italian Meal

ok Its Valentine and you need to impless some chicks (not to mention you dem cheapskate to bwing her to hotel or expensip restaurant also lol!) so what would be better than to inbite her to your house for candlenite dinner rite?

After a few glass of red wine maybe she will thinking you look more hensem than yesday and you might get lucky too!

But before that you gotta actually have something edible on the table 1st rite? Candle wise ... if you dont habe the lomantik expensip candle (or if you are too cheapskate to buy them) just goto your mum house n get some praying candles with bamboo stick la! LOL!

Ok la ok la i m pulling you leg ok? Chicks digs guys who can cook .... I no bruff you wan! thats why if you showed her you can cook .. you will stand a better chance to be lucky on Valentine nite!

How to cook? What to cook? dunch werry! I m gonna show u exactly that!

This Italiano meal is so simple to make even an idiot can make it ok? If you failed to do this then you might as well date your right hand on V-day la!

ok lets get down to business, This simple yet delicious Italiano meal is call Aglio Oglio spaghetti. Aglio Olgio simply means garlic and olive oil in italiano and thats just the main ingredient.

These are the stuffs that you will need :

Oregano powder

Black pepper

Mixture of dried parsley flakes and oregano powder

fresh coriander

Cherry Tomato

Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  1. Garlic loads of it! (2,3,4,5 or 10 cloves also can! )
  2. Oregano powder (optional)
  3. Dry Parsley flakes and fresh coriander finely chopped
  4. Blackpepper taste
  5. Olive Oil Extra Virgin
  6. Spaghetti (1 pack)
  7. Cherry Tomato (sliced into halves)
  8. Carrot - 1 stick
  9. Celery 100-200gm (optional)
  10. Chili to taste (optional)
  11. Salt to taste

Preparation :

1. Chop Garlic with cleaver, but if you not good with knifes then to avoid you from losing a finger on V-day you better use blender ok? if dont have blender and cleaver then go bollow from your mum la!


2. Heat your pan and put in a good amount of Olive oil inside (prolly 5-8 tablespoon) and put in your finely shopped garlic continue to cook in medium/small heat till garlic is golden brown. dun use high heat or you will ended up getting Negro Oglia instead of Aglio Oglio LOL! Finally add in the mixture of dry parsley flakes n oregano powder n salt to taste n give it a few gentle stir before you turn off the heat.

When this is done, pour the garlic oil into a bowl and let it cool down.



3. You then proceed to saute(satay) the vegs (tomatoes, carrots, celery or any other vege that you prefer/like) listed in the ingreadient section above. this is to give abit of charboil aroma to the vege and also gives a nice blackish appearance to the vege also. Saute is the act of light frying in very little oil ... just half a teaspoon of oil would be sufficient but make sure your pan is a non stick frying pan ok? You dont wanna use a regular wok to saute or you might as well start dating your left hand again LOL!

After u r done satay-ing all your veges (tomatoes, carrots, celery or any other vege that you prefer/like) you can leave them all in a bowl and proceed tot he next step.



4. Boil your spaghetti, First make sure your water is boiling hot then you add in a tad bit of salt and olive oil just to give them abit of flavor, and throw in (literally) the spaghetti. wait for it to cook. Depends on what kinda spaghetti you purchased, some requires to be cooked for 2 minutes and some need to be cook for at least 6-8 minutes. So read the label and instructions carefully before you start boiling them ok?

when the spaghetti is cooked then take them out of the pot and into a big bowl for cooling process.


5. Cool down your cooked spaghetti with running water from the tap. Other than cooling down the temperature of the spaghetti this process also will improve the texture of the spaghetti and make it alil bit crunchier. Run water thru the spaghetti for about 10-20 secs.


6. Drain the excess tap water from the spaghetti and now you can mix it/ toss it with the garlic oil (if you dem blur .. its the oil you prepared in step 2 above la!) and mix mix mix toss toss toss till its all mixed up lol ... damn even i m abit mixed up now after all the mix lol!

The purpose of this is mixing/tossingto make sure all the spaghetti were covered with the flavored garlic oil you prepared in step no.2.


7. Finish off by moving a small portion of the well mixed spaghetti onto a plate/dish and then garnish with sauteed vege and top with finely chopped fresh coriander.


Aglio Oglio italiano spaghetti

Yes its meatless! healthy mah! you could add few stripes of bacons or smoked ham bits if you want la ... the preference is all yours to decide.

There you have it! a simple 7 steps Cheap Healthy Meatless Delicious Lohmantik Italianno Valentino meal for 2! Lay not gerenti tho! Happy trying and good luck!

Minolta Maxxum AF Zoom 28-85mm f3.5-f4.5 Macro for Sony Alpha DSLR

Most would believe that SAL1870 kitlens that comes bundled with Sony Alpha A200/ A300/A350 is a great lens therefore not many photographers would look for an additional lens that would covers such a range. This is actually the reason why Minolta Maxxum 28-85mm f3.5-f.45 is particularly unknown to most of Sony Alpha DSLR users.

No doubt Sony SAL 1870 is very versatile and are able to produce great quality photos but I still feel it is inadequate somehow or another. Thats why i got myself a Minolta 28-85mm f3.5 just to justify my curiosity.

Like all my previous lenses, extensive research were done before deciding on such a lens. A nice gentlemen from alphanatics forum willing to part with his copy of Minolta Maxxum 28-85mm at such a bargain that i immediately confirmed the lens without any bargaining/price negotiation. The seller even throw in free freight all the way from Miri Sarawak.


The package from Miri, Sarawak


Newly arrived Minolta 28-85mm f3.5 with front and rear Minolta cap, no hood tho. I heard the original hood is crappy so it doesnt matter anyway. Gonna look for a 3rd party rubber hood to be use with this lens later on.

Classic Minolta 55mm front cap

Like my previous Minolta 35-70mm f4 lens this one also comes with a suprise of its own. The nice seller even throw in a Osawa 55mm Close up filter for free (i wasnt expecting this becuase the seller did not mentioned anything about the closeup filter at all ... what a bargain!!!)

Will write more about the Osawa closeup filter later when I m doing the macro shots with this lens.

Minolta Maxxum AF Zoom 28-85mm f3.5-f4.5 Macro fully drawn in. This lens is abit strange in length wise, its is shortest when zoomed in at 85mm and longest when zoomed out at 28mm.

Macro Feature


To those who are not familiar with closeup filters and what is it for, here is a brief and simple description of what is a closeup filter :

What is a Close-up Filter?


A close-up filter is a lens that attaches onto the end of a camera lens via a screw thread. The purpose of the filter is to decrease the minimum distance that a lens requires to focus. For example most telephoto lenses need the subject to be at least a metre and a half away before they can focus. By attaching a close-up filter to the lens you can reduce this to maybe 0.75 metres.


Close-up filters are measured in Dioptre, with +2 being weak and +10 being strong. A dioptre is a measure of lens power. Filters can be "stacked" together (one filter screwed onto the lens and another screwed into the first filter). When stacking filters always make sure that the strongest filter is closest to the lens.

Osawa 55mm Closeup Filter no.3


Macro feature in this lns is identical to that of a Minolta Maxxum AF Zoom 35-70mm f4 Macro aka Mini Beercan, you gotta flip a switch to enable it and when you are in Macro mode you cant use the AF (auto focus) feature. Only MF (manual Focus) is available when activated the Macro mode of this lens. Another strange feature but nevertheless there are ways to hack this and enable the lens to use AF feature in macro mode.

These are some of the macro shots i did and in comparison I did the same shot with this lens with the Osawa no.3 Closeup filter attached to the lens as well. this way wee can see what kinda differences that a closeup filter can do to your photos.


This photo of a 10 sen coin were taken with Minolta 28-85mm built in macro feature without closeup filter (no crop)

This photo of a toy car were taken with Minolta 28-85mm built in macro feature without closeup filter attached (no crop)


This photo of a toy car were taken with Minolta 28-85mm built in macro feature with Osawa 55mm Closeup filter no.3 (no crop)

The reported minimum focal length of 24.6cm and a max magnification ratio of 1:4 (with macro feature activated) is not accurate as I were able to get as close as 3cm with magnification almos as good as 1:2 or even better (even closer when attached with the closeup filter) from the object in macro mode. I m not sure whether my lens are modified by the previous owner or there is really an error in the technical data provided. This can be further proven if i can get hold of another copy of Minolta 28-85mm lens as comparison.

From the look of the above photos in "macro mode" this is as good as you get from a all rounder lens. The good news is for the money you paid for ... you dint get screwed this time lol! The bad news is ... macro is only on MF unless you successfully hack it.

VERDICT : Above average Macro performance (at least on my copy)


Others Samples Shots in Various Conditions with this lens

Even Optimus Prime Choose to fly with MAS! :P

I just happen to like her hair ... ALOT! (outdoor too!)

In a nutshell :

PROS
  1. Built solid (body made of metal) doubled as a weapon in time of crisis lol!
  2. Underated lens therefore it is Bloody CHEAP! I paid less than RM400 (Approx USD110) for mine.
  3. Great sharp image at all focal length.
  4. Great Minolta Colors
  5. Nice soft bokeh
  6. Fast and accurate AF (Auto Focus)
  7. Great Macro
If you do not mind having a heavier walkabout lens (this lens weight like a brick) with a not so comfy minimum focal length of 80cm (when not in macro mode) then this is a must have lens for you! Put aside the little few Cons, this is truly a great lens with big potential. Looks like this and the Minolta 35-70mm f4 will be one of the few lenses i will be carrying around with me most of the time.
