Windows Vista Launch and O2Jam Competition

So far i've been busy with alot of stuff and didn't have the time to blog. Thus i'll try to write as long as i can...this time wid pix :D

Today i started my journey to my college/university in PJ. Morning i drove...etc etc...and reached the LRT station. As i reached the campus, i entered the hall where they were giving the introduction to the new Windows Vista. The new vista has alot of upgrades to its predecessor Windows XP. The main features of this program is the desktop design which almost makes the XP look nooby compared to the Vista. Apart of that, it has higher security enhancement and other really cool stuff. Want more info? well visit Microsoft's Website

As far as i can tell, you will need A DAMN KAO POWERFUL PC coz this thing eats ur RAM(Random Access Memory) like hell. So, after that I went and que up for the RM5 Windows Vista Business Edition Upgrade.

After purchasing it, I went back into the hall to look-see the interesting stuff they have in there. They had mini-games where they give students free Windows Vista Home Premium and other goodies too. Also in a section there was a Xbox and Xbox360 testing section.

The games they had there was a racing game which its name could never cross my mind, an aeroplane dogfight game,
















and DOA(Dead or Alive).

So, as i waited for the competition to start, I went around taking random photo's :
Soon, all chess competitions will use a laptop instead of the old fashion Chess Set

Anyone wanna register for Microsoft's new VISA?
Around 2.10pm, the competition had started. Looking at the score board, I was in the 2nd group. Looking at the 1st groups score, I thought I didn't have a chance in the competition and of course felt alot of pressure. Luckily the 1st 3 songs were easy ones. Those who played o2jam before the three songs were Go Hell, The Festival of the Ghost 2, and another song which i forgot due to my short term memory loss -.- . These songs were Easy X4 speed. I managed to full combo two of the songs but lost concentration on one song and missed a note.
Then was the semi-finals where we were supposed to play 5 songs. Me and a few other ppl had to be delayed as some of the laptops didn't have the songs Distro X, [SHD]Zero-one, Hell Boy, V3, and same thing again i forgot the last song. These were Normal X4 speed. I had no comments on how i played :P
Finally after 8 songs, I entered the finals. This time we played 7 songs, those songs were Gargoyle, A Trip to Heaven, Cutting Circles, Identity 1, Identity 11, and again another song which i have forgotten. After finishing the songs, I waited at the score board to check my score. But the marshalls and judge had to push the score board back coz of the Hip-hop/Breakdancing event.
After the event, there was a lucky draw event to see who can get the Windows Vista Home Premium CD.
My friend tried three times and didn't get it...

Instead....

This guy tried once and got it...LOL!! talk about luck.
Thus at the prize giving ceremony, they announced i got 2nd Runner-up for the o2jam competition and this was my prize...

Nothing much, but still its a prize.
And coz of this i missed going to Hitz.fm Birthday bash.
Win some you lose some......
