Perth Day 3 to 5 – Margaret River

INK — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 18:26:13 +0000

One of the "must see" regions in Western Australia is Margaret River, about a 4 to 5 hours drive south of Perth. The Margaret River region, also known as wine country, is home to 200 vineyards and 90 wineries. It’s also famous for its many award wining eateries, sadly none of which we could try as they were all booked out every single day of the week!

Below are pictures taken around the grounds of The Voyager, one of the premium wineries cum restaurants in the area. And no, we didn’t get to eat here either.

What’s You Brain Speed?

INK — Sun, 26 Mar 2006 11:18:48 +0000

I’ve always wondered if all that multi-tasking makes my brain work any faster, having to react to so much information both visual and auditory. Anyway, I found this interesting test that aims to guage how fast our brains can process information.

Auditory processing speed is important because much of the information we receive each day is communicated through sound, especially speech. The faster we can take in information accurately, the better we can keep up with, respond to and remember what we hear.

Click on the picture for the test!

1st try – 58 points
2nd try – 54 points
3rd try – 34 points

Lower scores indicate faster processing speed.

Seems that after 3 tries, my processing power has shot up dramatically! No more excuses to wifey for not catching her instructions. Hahaha…

Splash Back Game

Saw this very interesting game on Tiger’s blog. Knowing how I love puzzle games, I had to try it out. Unfortunately, my brain wasn’t up to it and I died at Level 6. Haha…

ZUMA ZUMA YAY

INK — Sat, 25 Jun 2005 18:49:13 +0000

After many days of toiling, I have finally mastered Zuma! For my closest competitors, Guppy and Tigerming, level 12 is not the last level! Upon completing 12-7, the game reveals a hidden level.

You have defeated Zuma… or so you think.

Space! The final frontier…

However, level 13 isn’t as hard as it seems. You just have to make sure you don’t die as I realized later on that there’s no way to access this hidden level except to start from level 12 again.

Zuma and I are now brothers. We control the outer space together. All your base are belong to us!

*satisfied*

Runaway Sheep

INK — Wed, 11 May 2005 17:52:41 +0000

It’s been a week since my last post and I’m starting to worry about my blog growing cobwebs. Not to worry though, the delay was all for a good cause. After many days of finger twitching on this cool game, I’ve attained this ultra cool score!

Check out how I actually managed to dart the 2nd sheep right as it stepped up to run (for an amazing reaction time of 0.000 seconds). You can see the sheep on the left side of the picture with its toungue sticking out if you scrutinize the screenshot hard enough. So, how bout beating this all you folks who trashed me in the last game I put up.

Oh, since we are on the topic of sheep running away, just want to share this really cool verse from the Parable of the Lost Sheep:

“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?” Luke 15:4

That’s exactly what all of us, shepherds of God’s flock, should do if any of His sheep get lost. But, please don’t use a dart gun!

G(iga)Mail

Do you use GMail? Stare hard hard part 2!

Thursday morning…

Thursday afternoon…

Friday morning…

Friday afternoon…

Friday night…

MONDAY!

Something mysterious is at work here! No, it’s not the fact that I don’t get much mail, but notice how the storage space just keeps on increasing everyday! Very interesting indeed…

Stare Hard Hard…

Now what is wrong with this!

a = n + d
a(a – n) = (n + d)(a – n)
a² – an = an + ad – n² – nd
a² – an – ad = an – n² – nd
a(a – n – d) = n(a – n – d)
a = n

Have fun! *grin*

Discovered a crazy Japanese flash game today and have since been hooked on it for ages, i.e. the past 10 mins. It reminds me a lot of the famous Pengu game (aka Yeti Olympics) – this game where you play a white yeti who has to hit a penguin as far as he can by swinging at it with a club. Except, humans get whacked in this one instead of a cute penguin. Hooray for animal rights!

My best score so far is 1323.33m. Top that!
