Okay, so the agency that liked my writing had gone through the manuscript and they thought of it as a potential next best seller xD, so what is standing between my chance of actually publishing my work? The editor and the critique.
One of their questions they had for me was wether my story had gone through any formal editing, and I said no. Sadly, due to this fact, I need to hire a proffesional literary editor to critique my work before the idea gets published. How much does it cost? The one that gets provided by the agency cost roughly about 70 to 90 bucks (and that ain't Ringgit!).
Well ... sadly, there goes my ambition as a writer. I have failed you Shakespeare! Adios amigos! My idea of actually publishing my beloved story comes crumbling before me.
The next best thing is to find a local editor that is willing to help me out by doing a critique on my work. Not to be picky or anything, they needed a proffesional critique with credentials, as they will be used for references and will be 'harrassed' from time to time to see if the critique is genuinely credented or if they actually did a critique for my work.
Maybe, this will be my Christmas wish this year *crosses fingers*

I have always been wondering why I liked O2Jam so much, well I finally got my answer.
As most may already know, the reason I play O2Jam is cause of stress and tension relief, but why do I listen to those songs rather than ordinary, humans' voiced music? The very very sad reason for this is due to me getting fed up with listening to the humans' voice itself.
I'm tired of having to listen to everyone talk about their lives, tired of not being able to say anything despite having something to say, tired of the idiotic debates and complains of humans, tired of the nags and whines of people - Just freakin' tired of it.
Everytime when human speaks, it's all about "How I should have been better" or "I'm so good it pains me to see myself so great" or even "You should have done better, trying your best is not an excuse". I'm sick of hearing all you people, so shut the fuck up if you may.

Okay, as you may know, more and more people are now getting into Microsoft's product because of media influence, but let us consider some facts that should benefit the user, not the publisher of the product (a.k.a. WIlliam Gates).
Performance
When it comes to performance, WinAMP takes the cake. WinAMP takes about an average of 1mb to 4mb of your processor, while WMP takes an average of 7mb to 12mb.
Saving your RAM usage for other programs is always a good thing, so this will be your first reason to drop off WMP, and start trying out WinAMP.
UI flexibility
Sad to say, WinAMP can be quite frustrating when it comes to creating a playlist. Unlike WMP, which you create and directly saves the song files that you want, WinAMP requires users to manually save it, which could be a nuinsance if you are creating multiple playlist with the same song files.
Hence, when it comes to UI, WMP still gets the upper-hand on it.
All in all, it comes down to what most user wants - easier, or performance, it's up to you to decide, but personally, I'd go with performance, so to hell with WMP.

Once again, I finally blew my top when it comes to an arguement with that old bitch.
Seriously, nothing (not even my friends) have pissed me off till the limit where I shout in their face with as loud as I could "SHUT UP!".
Asks yourselves, have I ever did that to you? No? Well, that bitch made me do it.
It started very much earlier this morning. I was in the car with her. As we were a little on our way down to my college, I just recalled that I had forgotten to take my keys. As I told her that I forgot to bring it, she insisted that I get out of the car (it was quite a distance to my house) and walk back to my house to get my keys.
I ran back and dropped my pen (unnoticingly) and looked like an idiot (dogs in houses got agitated from me running and barked, people staring at me wondering why I got out of the car and run). It was a little embarassing, but I could not care. I got back to my house and retrieved my keys.
Then, when I wanted to chuck my keys in my back pocket, I realised my pen was not in my shirt's pocket. I had to backtrack to where I had dropped off. The bitch had parked in front of the house, but I could not care, I went to find the pen. She just had to get on my nerves by hitting the horn. I was so fucked up, that I fingered her, regardless of how she was related to me.
Then I picked up the pen (I was lucky the pen was still in one piece). I ran back into the car, and what I get instead? Non-stop of her bitching of the routine you-are-a-bad-son or god-will-punish-for-your-deviant-acts nonsense. I was already pissed when she jumped to conclusions yesterday regarding my personal issue, she just had to stick it to me, doesn't she?
That's when I know that I had reached my limit. I shouted at her, then blasted my music so I won't hear her bitching anymore. I was just one step away from grabbing her fucking head and slammed it on the window until she bleeds.
Call me someone who does not love my mother, but I highly doubt anyone will stand for her fucking retardedness if they were to be in my shoes, for at least a week.
No one else in the world could make me boil up till the extent that I felt like vomitting blood. Heck, I think if I went and have a quick check with the doctor they would probably say I am considered young to have high-blood pressure.
Oh, not to forget, SHE IS A FUCKING RETARDED SLAPSTICK SLUT OF A WRETCHED SCUM BITCH!

Do you often find yourself wondering, "Why doesn't my software/program work on Vista?". The answer is quite simple actually, all due to UAC (User Account Control).
The UAC is what prevents most of us to run certain programs, even after you have set it to run as Administrator. This is one of the most screwed up implementation for Windows Vista, honestly.
I tried re-installing O2Jam while having UAC offed. Installation was as normal, then I attempted to launch the O2Jam Launcher.exe, and guess what? This time it works!
I am updating O2Jam, yes!!

To disable UAC, just click the Windows' Start button, click on your User Icon and choose "Turn User Account Control on or off", and voila, no more stupid restrictions.
In conclusion, Windows Vista has stupid features that may or may not cause trouble to your gaming/working experience (use it only if you are extremely certain, don't regret later).

I have finally decided to take heightened initiative to further expand my story into a global proportion. The story that I have picked for publication would be Destiny.
I finally found a publisher that seem to be interested in my works, just awaiting replies from certain questions that I need clarification myself, then I will be sending in the transcript to the publication for further verification.
Wish me best of luck *crosses fingers*, cause I seriously want my work to be published.
