Objection!!! Hold It!!!


I find myself hooked out with these two phrase in this week, and suddenly, I find that stomping on the table (in a right way) can be quite fun, and in fact, STYLISH! Recently, I was hooked by one NDS game, named Phoenix wright, Ace Attorney


In the game, you worked as an attorney, defending your helpless (and funky most of the time) client, squeezing every single informations from the witness in court, exposing contradictions and lies in their testimony and finally,...send the prosecutor flying as you shouted...


OBJECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The game focussed on a defense attorney, named phoenix wright (with a stylishly spiked hair and a funny face when he's sweating...) and his assistant Maya (with no common sense, according to phoenix) that work to protect and defend their client, and discovering the truth in the process.


And the thing that awed me is...the main character somehow able to turn the whole table around. Even though the was pinned guilty, he was somehow able to dismiss all of them just in one argument and some proof of evidences. (Since I'm the one controlling the main character, can you actually said that I'm talented as him? lol). You will be surprised that even a tiny bit evidence (example, a yellow baseball glove) can be actually the key of the whole case.


But the story can be quite boring for some people though, because there's no monster for you to kill, no cash, no level, and all pratically do is talk, examine and moving around. Well, you could say that this game is not really "a game", but somehow, I find fun in this game with the engrossing storyline, funny characters (a pervert judge, and a prosecutor that likes whipping around, huh??) and finally, a chance for you to kill more brain cells (as if any brain cells had survived from calculus test 1...)


This game is for no non-brainer. It's really a good way to see how your IQ works. (compared to games such as Zuma, or some number quizzes, it's wheeeeeee way much better). DotA? Duhh, buzz off, until I finnished another mysterious case of phoenix wright...


(Btw, if you are interested in this game, get the game from me, and see how long you need to finnish this game, I finnished the game in 5 days, (and peeked into game guide for twice though...))


So, for anyone that thinks that dota is way much better. There's one word for you...


OBJECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woken up from a hibernating sleep......

* As usual, I don't have any idea what the heck my blog title should be, maybe I should label my blog title from now on, but anyway...*

It's time for once again, crap (any better word) ...and, hmm.., perhaps a jog to the memory lane of mine in these few weeks (but ... if there's ever such a lane called JK memory lane, it's must be very very dirty indeed......


Purpose of education

20 minutes ago, a huge invisible slap from physic lab class reminds me of this simple, yet deep, topic, what's the purpose for education......

We were having discussion for our lab assignment about the electric field, and our lecturer was discussing about the device we used in the experiment (an electric gun or some sort). It was quite a non-brainer concept, but none of us seems to understand it......

Our lab lecturer, puzzled by our "knowledge" on the concept, asked a simple question.."Did Ms Rabe'ah thought all this thing in lab..." and the moment he asked, I smirked, and at the same time, the whole class was speechless for a tiny sec...

What we learned in physic class? Yes, we learned about formulas, how to apply the formulas, how to draw the lines and etc. But we haven't learned how this f***king concept is applied in a simple device. The first thing our mind thought when it comes to electric field is F=kq/(r^2), but not the electric filed lines itself...

We could have missed the wonder of physic itself, as our concept of physic is constrained to fromulas, questions and answers. Nobody care how the formulas existed in the first place. Nobody actually understands the concept of physic itself more than the surface of an formula, but we all knew, that world of physic is more than just formulas. Eventually in real life, those formulas are just pile of everything crap if we see formula as formula...

I wondered, will I survive in the real field of engineering if I still exposed in this type of education, the education world when all you need to do is memorize and manipulating the formula to get an A. Perhaps, I wondered, will I survive in US education, when a lecturer just asked "what this device has to do with this law..." I think I'm pass...

If education is all about those, I think we are creating more formula memorizing robots that can't think...And even ironic is, an engineer that can't even understand how fans work...when he got all those thermodynamic thingy in his brain

Perhaps, I need a physic for dummy book...unless there's a reformation in the education of malaysia
