...biangz...just got "lagged" out from the new free online game i just downloaded, Rappelz, i believe. Anyway the game wasn't too bad, except for the lag and the client download is so...long. Finally went thru all the basic quest of the game, doing the advance quests now but too laggy liao!

So instead to kill some time before sleeping time kicks in, might as well do some blogging. Btw recently bought a vcd, Masters and Commander, the show wasn't too bad as compared to some of the reviews by the critics, though some was impressed with it. For me it is quite a good show, cos its interesting though there are some errors in the show, go find out urself, some logical and some historical facts. Saw some reports that the show is gonna have a sequel...thot it was mentioned by some of the actors ard 2005...and now it is 2007, two years liao still no bits of news about it...so most probably there isn't any sequel afterall. Though there are many volumes of Masters and Commanders on book, may or may not get myself to read one!?

Anway got to know some interesting things from the show, that is midshipmen are almost all teenagers...so young and they are allowed to board a ship that goes into real battle, i'm not toking abt military exercise. This seems to be true although shows are mostly fictional, cos i surf abit on the net and it claims it. Also in sea navigation, we often hear the "knots" thingy, though i know is sort of a measurement for something, but in the show they showed the midshipmen doing measurement and reported how many "knots" to the captain. And to my surprise is that knots are actually knots, they used a rope tied with many knots that has a uniformed distance between each knots for measuring. Interesting leh!
