Legend of Zelda

Worlds most pek chek game. Only played it for 8 hours, needed to refer to an online walkthrough 3 times. But although its angrifying, it is also surprisingly addictive. *swing swing stab swing*( with the wiimote.)

Got hustled on friday at Kpool. Actually i knew i would be hustled but i still go and let them hustle me.. For me, its about enjoying a good game of pool with an expert. Realized that my pool skills have deteriorated.. Must train from now on.. I shall go into seclusion for 2 months to practice the secret shooting arts of Tian.

THE SECRET SHOOTING ARTS OF TIAN:

- ART ONE
The Aimingless Technique; practice to a level that you can shoot intuitively without even aiming. Reverse cut shots, dun even have to look, your mind will tell you where the pocket is. A shot executed with this skill takes less than 2 seconds.

-ART TWO
Spirit Breaks; Meditate and release mental and physical energy when breaking. The Qi released will be converted into sound energy that can be detected by a human a hundred metres away. The total sum distance covered by all the balls will cover a length of a swimming pool. Beware of this dangerous technique, as the shockwaves can result in permanent tissue damage.

-ART THREE
Heaven's draw; Also known as Tian's screw, This involves keeping your cue at the perfect angle, then using a wavy technique to exert the most bottom spin on the cueball using the least momentum. In a dead on shot, the cueball should spin back with the speed of a motorcycle and traverse at least 27 feet, 3 times the distance of the table, before coming to a stop.

-ART FOUR
Railway Masse; Hone the skills of a curve so accurately that the cueball can travel down the length of the table, and just when it is outside the pocket, curve away towards the oposite pocket and pot any hanging balls. This skill can be trained to the degree that the player can discard the use of jump shots, kick shots and even bank shots. The curve is controlled so well by the player that it seems to be travelling on a virtual railway in the player's mind, hence the name.

-ART FIVE
Infinite Patterns; Train the player such that his knowledge and calculation of the angles are perfect. A branch of trickshot theory, this ultimate skill allows the player to spot and execute shots that would normally not be seen by another player. This can be advanced to the level where an impossible combination shot would be regarded as a straight pot for the user. A player with this skill can end the entire game of nine ball in less than 3 shots, thus eschewing the need for positioning and safety.

These are thus the five secret art of Tian that i have decided to practice. Wish me luck XD.



Random maths


" Now, i is a very proud number. It is aloof and doesn't care to mix much with the other numbers. If I add 3 to 4 I get 7; the 3-ness of the 3 and the 4-ness of the 4 disappear, absorbed into the 7-ness of the 7. If, by contrast, you add 3 to i, you get ... 3+i. It's the same with mutiplication. When you multiply 5 by 2 the 5-ness and 2-ness are swallowed up by the 10-ness of the result, and vanish without trace. Multiply 5 by i, and you get ... 5i. It's as if the i can't let go of its identity; or perhaps the real numbers know that i just isn't the same kind of thing they are."

Cutest way to put it.
