Memori Ilusi

September 16 2014, 1.35 pm

After spending 473 hours and 43 minutes (that is, almost 20 days consecutively)  in Pokemon HeartGold, this is what I got.

You can get this type of Trainer Card if you fulfill these conditions:
1. Enter the Hall of Fame
2. Complete National Pokedex
3. Win 100 victories in a row at the Battle Tower
4. Open the Friendship Room at the Pokeathlon Dome
5 Get your first crown on one of your Pokemon.



Firstly, I suggest you get these Pokemon first, because they are extremely strong Pokemon in Johto.
Try to get them first before you train the others.
1. Tyranitar - Rock, Dark
2. Typhlosion - Fire
3. Feraligatr - Water
4. Espeon - Psychic
5. Porygon2 - Normal
6. Ampharos - Electric
7. Scizor - Bug, Steel
8. Heracross - Bug, Fighting
9. Ursaring - Normal
10. Houndoom - Dark, Fire
11. Donphan - Ground
12. Slowking - Water, Psychic
13. Octillery - Water
14. Granbull - Normal
15. Piloswine - Ice, Ground
16. Sunflora - Grass
17. Sudowoodo - Rock


A. Enter the Hall of Fame

To enter the Hall of Fame, you need to beat the Elite Four and also the Champion in the Pokemon League. Just remember that you can't heal your Pokemon once you enter the door. Make sure that you buy lots of Full Restore (for HP) and plant Leppa Berries (for PP) earlier.

My party:
1. Jynx Lv 61 -  Blizzard, Avalanche, Confusion, Powder Snow
2. Hitmonlee Lv 60 -Close Combat, Mega Kick, Hi Jump Kick, Blae Kick
3. Haunter Lv 61 - Shadow Pulse, Dark Pulse, Nightare, Mean Look
4. Tyranitar Lv 61 - Eartquake, Stone Edge, Crunch, Dark Pulse
5. Heracross Lv 60 - Close Combat, Megahorn,  Take Down, Brick Break
6. Pidgeot Lv 39 - Fly, Wing Attack, Gust, Twister

Strategy:
Will - Use Tyranitar or Houndoom
Koga- Use Typhlosion, Espeon, Houndoom, or Slowking
Bruno - Use Espeon, Slowking, Feraligatr. Sunflora, Piloswine, Heracross, Donphan, Scizor
Karen - Use Heracross, Espeon, Slowking, Tyranitar, Ampharos, Piloswine, Sudowoodo
Lance - Use Tyranitar or Sudowoodo

So, I think the best Johto team for Pokemon League consists of Tyranitar, Typhlosion, Espeon, Feraligatr and Heracross. But you can always try your own combination.

In the end, you will enter the Hall of Fame.


B. Complete National Pokedex

This is, in my opinion, the hardest thing to do in the whole game. The last Pokemon that I need to complete the Pokedex is Lucario. I caught Rilou Lv 45 from the Safari Zone, and increase its happiness (Haircut in Goldenrod City, meet Daisy everyday around 3 pm to 4 pm in Viridian, give status boosted item, make it holding the Soothe Bell and always bring it to my party of six.)

This is the list of 493 Pokemon.

2. Ivysaur - Bulbasaur Lv 16

4. Charmander - One of the three starters that Prof.Oak will give you after beating Red.
5. Charmeleon - Charmander Lv 16
6. Charizard - Charmeleon Lv 36
7. Squirtle - One of the three starters that Prof.Oak will give you after beating Red.

Meet Professor Oak in Pallet Town and let him evaluate your National Pokedex.

C. Win 100 victories in a row at the Battle Tower

You need some strategies to conquer the tower. Train some Pokemon for BP (Battle Points) and let the move tutors in Battle Frontier teach strong moves to your Pokemon. Or you can exchange the BP for TM (Technical Machine).

Personally, I love to battle in Battle Hall, because it is easier to get BP there (during the 50th battle, where we need to fight the Hall Matron and get 20 BP later on.). Then, you can switch to other species and survive until the 50th battle again. Repeat these for a few times.

And I think Battle Factory is the easiest to get high amount of BP. But you need to have high knowledge of Pokemon species, type, abilities and their moves. This is because you cannot use your own Pokemon, but you will rent Pokemon from the Pokemon Factory.

Okay. Let's start with the Battle Tower. The rule is you need to survive through seven trainers (your Pokemon will be healed every end of the battle). You can bring your favourite three Pokemon. Once you lost, the counter will reset and you need to repeat it again until 100th row.

Strategy:
1. Use Pokemon with high speed. You also can use Quick Claw if you want.
2. Use many type of moves.
3 Try to minimise your weaknesses. For Electric Pokemon, you can use Magnet Rise.
4. Attack with special conditions - Sleep, Burned, Frozen, Paralyzed, Poisoned

Start your first 7 battles. And continue again for another 7 battles.

During your 21st battle, you will face the Tower Tycoon Palmer.
He will use Milotic, Rhyperior and Dragonite.
You can bring these Pokemon if you like:
Ludicolo/ Abomasnow/ Breloom/ Torterra/ Dewgong/ Cloyster/ Lapras/ Walrein/ Poliwrath/ Quagsire/ Swampert/ Whiscash/ Gastrodon/ Empoleon/ Mamoswine/ Lucario/ Steelix

For your 49th match, Palmer will use Heatran, Regigigas and ?????
You can use these Pokemon:
Quagsire/ Swampert/ Whiscash/ Gastrodon/Poliwrath


I always use my Venusaur, Typhlosion and Swampert for any Battle Frontier facilities.
Beat the the Battle Tower until the 100th times in a row, and you will upgraed your Trainer Card later on.



D. Open the Friendship Room at the Pokeathlon Dome

Basicallly, you need to win in most of the Pokeathlon events.

There are 4 rooms in the Pokeathlon Dome:
1. Solidarity Room
2. Trust Room
3. Potential Room
4. Friendship Room.

You need to unlock these rooms in sequence.

Entri yang lepas, saya ada tulis tentang Germany atau negara Jerman.
And they're so proud with their German (bahasa Jerman).

Tiba-tiba saya terfikir tentang satu soalan.
"What is that first German word that you can remember, which you can relate to yourself?"

Saya bantai gelak sorang-sorang.
Jawapan saya:

"German measles"

Okay la tu. Ada la bunyi German-ish kat situ. Hahaha.

German measles ni lebih popular dengan nama rubella.
(Sebutan measles ni macam bunyi Mizz-Ell)
Macam demam campak, tapi tahap bahaya dia tak seteruk demam campak.
Ada bintik-bintik merah kat muka, dan perlahan-lahan turun ke kaki.
Lepas dua minggu, dia hilang sendiri.

Saya pun tak tahu mana datangnya penyakit ni, tiba-tiba dah berjangkit.
Waktu tu, masuk study week semester keenam.
Saya ada presentation untuk subjek Picom (Principle of Communication)
Habis satu badan kena sarung macam nangka.
Tangan pun pakai glove/mitten masa main ice skating kat Sunway Pyramid dulu.
Mulut pun kena cover dengan penutup.
Saya malas nak ambik MC, tu yang gagahkan jugak buat presentation.

Alhamdulillah, setakat yang saya tahu, takde siapa terjangkit sebab saya.
Memang tak seronok la kalau dah dapat penyakit ni.
Terpaksa mengasingkan diri dari orang lain.
Doktor ada bagi losyen calamine. Dan ubat-ubat lain.

But, look at the bright side, I learned a new German word. Heh.

Danke.

Hari ni saya nak berkongsi beberapa perkara penting tentang duit.
Lepas beberapa peristiwa yang berlaku baru-baru ni, saya tergerak untuk berkongsi tentang isu ni.

Cuba tengok kad ATM kita yang dalam dompet tu.
Cari nombor telefon customer service atau khidmat pelanggan.
Salin nombor tu dan letak dalam handphone.
Kalau ada anak-anak atau suami atau isteri, mintak diorang simpankan sekali nombor tu.

Kalaulah satu masa nanti ada orang curi dompet kita, cepat-cepat call nombor tu.
Kemudian mintak diorang block kad ATM tu.
Sebabnya, takut pencuri tu sempat ambik duit kita dalam bank.
Saya percaya kes ni kerap berlaku.
Soal macam mana pencuri tu dapat nombor pin kad ATM tu, saya tak tahu.

Selain kes kecurian, kalau ada apa-apa masalah tentang duit dalam bank, call je customer service ni.
Biasanya diorang ni 24 jam.


Satu lagi kisah pelik yang berlaku kat seluruh Malaysia.
Kalau kat masjid atau surau, biasanya mesti ada tabung, kan?
Orang yang simpan hasil derma tu biasanya jumpa duit RM50 (atau lebih) yang bergulung dalam RM1.
Mungkin kita akan kata dia nak derma RM50, tapi tak nak orang tahu.
So, dia gulung RM50 dalam RM1.
Cerita lain yang saya dengar, ini sebenarnya salah satu kaedah nak 'sedut' duit masjid.
Diorang ni pakai benda halus la agaknya. Wallahualam.

Ada jugak kes guna mata je nak pukau orang.
Yang ni pun popular sebenarnya.
Bagi yang pernah kerja kat kaunter mungkin lebih berpengalaman la.
Daripada pandangan mata je, yang kena pukau terus tak ingat apa-apa.
Tahu-tahu je duit dah lesap.
Even Nabi Muammad s.a.w. pernah sebut tentang kewujudan sihir mata, atau 'Ain'.


Tujuan saya utarakan cerita ni, sebenarnya takde kaitan la dengan saya.
Setakat ni, saya tak pernah hilang kad ATM ataupun kena pukau.
Cuma ni jadi satu pesanan la untuk kita semua.

I think, everyone deserves the truth.


Firstly, I want to apologies to these people:

1. Zufar
2. Shah
3. Amin
4. Yana
5. Suhaila
6. Aimi

because I didn't reply any of their messages since my disappearance for almost a year.
And everyone keeps asking me the same question.
 - Dah macam CIA mencari Jason Bourne je gayanya.
Anyway, thank you for trying to reach me.
I do appreciate them.


So here's the truth.

Kepada yang dah banyak kali tanya, saya tengah nak buat apa sekarang ni,
Ni jawapan saya.

1. Tengah belajar bahasa Jerman. Belajar dari buku, video, and maybe masuk kelas kat Goethe-Institut. Sebab nak dapatkan German language proficiency certificate. Kena ambik exam diorang yang dipanggil TestDaF. Macam MUET la agaknya kat Malaysia ni. Mungkin akan ambil TOEFL sekali. Tengoklah macam mana nanti.

2. Kumpul duit. Lebih kurang 15 816 euro. (sama dengan RM 65 313.79). Mintak pengesahan banyak pihak, dan bukak akaun kat Germany.

3. Buat permohonan dan tunggu surat kemasukan kat universiti kat Germany. Tapi tak decide lagi nak ambik bidang apa. Maybe Mechanical engineering. Electrical engineering pun ok je sebenarnya.

4. Buat Visa. Lepas tu fly ke Germany. Sambung Master. Most probably in Master in Science (M.Sc.), bukan Master in Engineering (M. Eng.) sebab M.Sc boleh sambung Ph.D.

(Pada masa yang sama jugak saya tengah belajar bahasa Perancis, Jepun, Korea. Tapi jangan mengharap sangat la saya pandai cakap bahasa-bahasa ni. Tengah merangkak lagi.)


Benda ni, bukan jadi jadi dalam satu malam.
Ambik masa la jugak semua ni. Saya target dalam 5 tahun.

Banyak gila duit 'terbuang'... Tak rasa rugi ke?
Saya pernah pegang duit lagi banyak daripada ni.
Dan saya lebih faham sangat apa maksud 'terbuang'.
Bagi saya, ini bukan pembaziran, tapi pelaburan.
Kalau buat kenduri guna duit ni, atau shopping handbag atau kasut, atau modify kereta,
- ini baru membazir namanya. Kehendak melebihi keperluan.


Tak rasa menununjuk-nunjuk ke?
I think, istilah menunjuk-nunjuk tak sepatutnya ada.
We,as a Muslim, kenalah tunjuk yang kita ni boleh berdiri sama tinggi dengan diorang.
We have our own class. Cuba ingat balik apa yang berlaku sebelum Renaissance.
Di mana kedudukan Islam waktu. Dan apa yang berlaku kepada umat Islam hari ni.
Lepas grad sibuk melancong. Lepas tu kahwin. Beranak-beranak dan beranak.
Tak nak sambung Master atas dasar komitmen kerja dan keluarga.
Where's the thrill? Where's the spirit?
Kenapa semangat nak mencabar dunia tu hilang?

Cuba lihat kat mana Fynn Jamal hari ni.
Dia kat sana atas pilihan dia sendiri.
Saya memang respect gila dengan beliau.
Itulah kuasa minoriti. Diorang ni lebih berani untuk menjerit.

Sebab tu, saya pilih jalan yang tak berapa mainstream ni.
Indeed, there are lots of things I need to sacrifice.
But I'm ready.

Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. pernah bersabda (yang maksudnya):
"Barangsiapa yang menempuh suatu jalan untuk mencari ilmu pengetahuan, maka Allah akan mempermudahkan baginya jalan menuju ke syurga."

(Muslim, Abu Daud, Turmizi dan lain-lain)


Kenapa nak pergi Germany? Sebab kat situ la lahirnya ramai jurutera bertaraf dunia. Ada la jugak cita-cita nak kerja kat sana, dan buat part-time for PhD. (kalau ada peluang.). Even balik sini pun takpe. Boleh curahkan ilmu kat generasi yang lebih muda. I'm always a Malaysian in my heart.

Antara nama orang-orang hebat tu ialah Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie, atau lebiih dikenali sebagai B.J. Habibie, Presiden Indonesia ketiga. Seorang jurutera aeroangkasa yang berjaya mencipta kapal terbang buatan rakyat Indonesia sendiri. Sebab ada orang macam beliau la.industri penerbangan kat Indonesia lebih maju sebenarnya daripada di Malaysia. Boleh tonton filem 'Habibie dan Ainun' kalau nak lebih kenal siapa beliau.

Satu lagi nama yang saya boleh bagi ialah Wan Nazri Wan Aria. Beliau la 'kickstart' yang buat saya rasa tergerak untuk ke Germany. Royal Clock Tower kat Mekah tu antara hasil usaha beliau. Boleh baca banyak lagi la kat Internet.

And lastly, arwah ayah sendiri. Pernah satu ketika, ayah saya diberhentikan kerja sebab ekonomi syarikat tak stabil. Selepas beberapa bulan menganggur, ayah saya dipanggil oleh kawan beliau untuk bekerja bersama beliau. Seminggu lepas mula bekerja, ayah saya diterbangkan ke Germany untuk training pasal mesin. Walaupun pekerja baru, majikan percaya kat beliau sebab diorang tahu ayah saya ada pengetahuan mendalam tentang mesin. Bila balik, arwah abah selalu cerita pengalaman beliau kat Germany, and his own Eurotrip. Saya nak jadi macam ayah saya.


Even kalau tak dapat fly pun, saya tak kisah. At least saya dah cuba untuk ke sana. Kat Malaysia pun banyak je universiti yang offer sambung belajar. Saya sekadar teringin nak tukar selera. Kat Germany ada musim bunga, musim panas, musim luruh dan musim sejuk. Kat Malaysia ada musim tengkujuh, musim durian, dan musim rambutan. Hahaha.


And I hope these will answer all of your questions.
Thank you.

Ich liebi dich. (kikiki)

So I've watched Lucy yesterday. And this is my fourth time coming to the Setia City Mall Golden Screen Cinema (five minutes from my home) after RoboCop, X-Men: Days of Future Past and Transformers: Age of Extinction with my siblings.

As always, the first fifteen minutes is just long advertisements. But for this time, there's something different about the 'advertisement'. There's a note on the large screen (more like an order) for us to stood up, because we're going to sing our national Anthem, Negaraku (My Country). My elder brother said, "SERIOUSY?". And I just smiling, because I don't think no one will ever stood up.

Then I take a glance in my back. Everyone is standing. Wow. My brothers, sister and I quickly stand (while crunching the popcorn in my mouth). And when the song started, I got a goosebumps. I almost forgot the feeling of singing our national anthem together, while we stood up with everyone else. I think the last I did this was during my convocation day in October last year. I can feel the vibration of the hall resonating from one person to another. Maybe because it's quite seldom for us to sing it together, which makes it kinda special. And I never did the same thing again, until yesterday.

The pride. The spirit.
And true, this is Negaraku.
Our Negaraku.

Happy 57th Independence Day, Malaysia.
