Old School Talk, Reminiscence, Guesses and Forevers.

Hey guys, its been a day since i posted, or maybe a little bit more than a day. My girlfriend has officially left Perth, and headed back to Malaysia. I havent been doing much for the past 2 days, besides playing computer games, and doing a little bit of studies. Speaking of this, i need to head to the library tomorrow to study. I havent been doing all too much regarding my uni, and slowly my guilty has started surfacing.So i have decided to actually go all the way to the library and study there tomorrow morning. My mum has been nagging and whinning to me how i should get a HD for this unit, since it has only been 1 unit, moreover, i dont have any excuses to not do well this summer. I must say, this summer is very extra ordinary compared to the others, especially with this year's summer school, and having her over.

Today, nevertheless, has been a great day. I had Matt over, and we just kinda talked everything out regarding everything that has happened, and our personal views towards certain things. We havent been doing that for a while, ever since he got together with belle. The word for today is going to reminiscence. We talked shit loads of stuff ranging from what we did in the past, and our future. And i must say, i have been admitting alot of facts to him, and been telling him everything that i have ever known and done.

Due to today's anticipated cyclone, the church meeting has been canceled. My parents had alot of guests over this morning till afternoon. When i woke up, there was already 10 people in my guests room, and an hour later, it became so crowded. I was starving in the beginning but in the end after opening the door, and whitnessing shit load of people, my stomarch jus told me " fuck me, i am not hungry anymore, i so cbf going out and get food" haha.



I have actually been thinking alot of stuff here and there, and have come up with certain solutions that made me harmless in the long run. I guess there is ups and downs in life, and depending on who, it's always gonna get enlightened in life every now and then. Today, in between my playing games periods, i have come across a quote from 1/2 years ago, and it came and hit me. " Why do we fall? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up" Oh i wanted to mention, i kinda miss my long hair O_O, well it can grow out sooner or later, so lets see how long i need to wait haha. And also heres a song that really enlightens me for the past few days, its called : Tell me what the rain knows. It is one of the original soundtrack of the anime, Wolf Rain.

Tell me what the rain knows
O are these the Tears of Ages
That wash away the Wolf's Way
And leave not a trace of the day?

Tell me what the rain knows
O is this the flood of fortune
That pours itself upon me?
O see how I drown in this sea

Hark, hear the howl that eats the moon alive
Your fur is on fire
The smoke turns the whole sky raven black
And the world upon your back will crack

Where will you go
Now you've no home?

Let the rain wash away your last days

In the zone

Hey guys, just before going to sleep, i thought maybe i would post something up since, i havent actually posted anything proper today. Well, since i liked the song "Playing God" so much, i posted some parts of the actual lyrics up, just for you guys to read, and reflect on it. Anyway, this is actually a day without me casting a commentary, ever since i started casting, and i must say, i am pretty tired today, because i had to wake up at 5am to pick my girl friend up, cause she told me she wanted to come to my place earlier to study, but she still ended sleeping at around 9.30am, so that was pretty fail HAHA. Oh, the other reason i posted was because i got some pictures to upload, jus thort i wud post them up, before it gets too crowded here.

Anyways, my girlfriend ended up cooking the whole meal for my mum, me and my bro. It all started when she was whinning in the car, saying she wans some soup for dinner. So all i said was " ok then why dont u cook the whole meal tonight, since ur going back already, and i am NOT gonna help u at all". She said okay, (very unwillingly), but she still did it anyway LOL. Anyways, the stuff tat she cooked was decent, with 2 chicken dishes, and 1 vegie dish, and today she baked some cupcakes.


The other very exciting is that Matt has already come back from Dubai. He's one of my best friend in the list, and we should be catching up with each other on Sunday. I have tons of shit and stuff to share with him, and i guess he has some to share with me as well. He texted me today saying, " hey man i am back from dubai, i am feeling so good to be home" during my class. The weird thing is, now that he is back, my girlfriend is going back to Malaysia on Saturday night haha. Will probably see her in 2/3 weeks time, depending how long she wants to stay in Malaysia.That just means say byebye to my messy room for a while HAHA ( bet she will come bashing me up when she sees this)


Anyways, just a short update on life, and i will be casting some commentaries when i have the time to do so, and, i have got some posts to be posted either tomorrow or sunday, just to tell you guys what Matt and I did and stuff like that. Till then~, laters

This is ideal signing off.

Playing God



Can't make my own decisions
or make any with precision
Well maybe you should tie me up
so I don't go where you don't want me

You say that I been changing,
that I'm not just simply aging
Yeah how could that be logical?
Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat

It's just my humble opinion
But it's one that I believe in
You don't deserve a point of view
If the only thing you see is you

LGD.sGty vs CHN

Hey guys, this is another pro dota commentary done by me. It's been uploaded to my Youtube page. Oh, some of you may not have known, my youtube url address is : http://www.youtube.com/user/beyahooboy . You might ask me, why am i both beyahooboy and ideal, so heres my answer. I have originally created a youtube page, and i have recently started this blog, by the name of ideal. So, i started uploading stuffs and videos onto my youtube page (beyahooboy), then finding out it is quite misleading, cause on youtube it says beyahooboy and here i go by the name ideal. I uploaded some videos onto youtube, and juz thort MAYBE it is not a good idea to do it beyahooboy and ideal, but i cant help it, i just cud not be bothered to create another youtube account and reupload everything haha.

Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAldo2rTQsI
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbC1v-yliA8
Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZBhi2PqfoI
Part 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlS0rT8FUQ0

Introduction: Anyways, back to business.  Today's game is going to be none other than legendary LGD.sGty going up against a fairly new team, CHN. With YYF, and ZSMJ, going onto clockwerk and bone clinkz, respectively. Fairly unusual picks with the clinkz going into hard carry. On the scourge side, the hard carry is none other than Morphling, semi carries Windrunner and Batrider.





End game analysis: ZSMJ again, shined through this game, with this unsual bone clinkz pick. He has been killed and picked up by the scourge repeatedly in the early game. But due to his imba farming, his end game item at the 37 min mark, consists of the infamous divine rapier(that he has pulled off repeatedly with his other games), Eye of Skadi, Orchid of Malevolence, and a cloak(very very nice build, by using that 500 gold to reduce 15% magic incoming attacks). With this combo and build, ZSMJ Clinkz is forced to be reckoned with. He has around 2.7k HP, and armor standing on around 16-20 at the end, with damage of around 600 per right click. YFF end game build, consists of a pipe, phase boots, scepter, and a vlads, which are fairly usual build coming from a clock.




On the Scourge side, the one crucial mistake tat they had, is that the Morphling has failed to effectively use his Ethereal blade, and got the actual item too late before it is all over.  Thus, this made my argument clear: u either rush an ethereal blade, picking up support heroes early/mid game, or just skip the whole ethereal blade, and move on to something solid, such as butterfly and what not.
The other thing that scourge has mixed up is their batrider. I would suggest him to get a quick dagger for ganking purpose, especially, with the help of morphling's ether blast, this would be of a great addition towards the entire scourge's team play. It was because batrider hasnt been able to pick off early hero kills, that this is becoming a threat to the scourge. If we have looked closely to scourge's line up, we have seen this scourge playing as a mid game team. From my point of view, ever since the changes made to morphling in the 6.68 or so, morphling has been categorized to become a very frightening hero, that can own even in the early/mid game, compared to his last position with his chances of owning late being extremely vital. So all in all, i must say, either rush ethereal blade and pick up some heroes with the help of batrider, or just not choose morphling at all. You can have other carries such as shadow fiend, or even drow, but if you dont fully ultilize the use of ethereal blade and morphling, theres a always a better choice of hard carry.


Tats the end of the analysis, i hope u guys voice up ur opinions, and telling me what u dont agree on, or what u agree on. :) This is ideal signing off . Thanks for reading

Blend of melodies into baking adventures, ranging from studies to pointless fights

Hey guys, it is 12.11am now in Perth, and my eyes are still wide as hell. Just wanted to share some thorts on this blog with you guys, so i am telling myself, maybe i should post something up haha. Some of you may know, i actually just finished my mid-sem paper on my managerial control 301.



Yes, i study even during the summer, what a nerd, lol, but no u were half right, i aint doing this by choice, but my parents were telling i should fill in 1 unit that i failed 2 semesters before. So here i am, pretty free after the mid-sem and just thort i might share my stories with you guys.


1st thing that i want to mention is that i am stupid, and i just realised The Veronica's 1st album is good. I never thort they have changed so much from then, and i heard alot of people saying their 1st album is actually better than any other songs lol. Right now, i know what they mean, and i couldnt agree less. So, if you guys are running out of songs to listen to, please go and have a try on these songs. The album name is The Secret Of.., if you use bit torrent, u can easily pick the album at isohunt.com :)


2nd thing that i want to show you guys is the cake that my girl friend baked yesterday. It was a vanilla cake, and it doesnt taste as good as the chocolate mud cake. she has baked tons of cakes before using the pre-mixed packages from IGA, but my favourite is none other than the chocolate mud cake haha. Poor her.



Anyways, pretty tired studying for my mid-sem, probably going to have a rest soon. This is ideal, signing off.

DK vs Sunny

Hey guys, this is ideal once again, coming at you with any pro dota commentaries and replay analysis. As some of you may already know DK has changed its roaster, and is in its way to rising to the top. Roaster consists of Burning and KingJ from EHOME, BenZ from LGD, and Kssss. PIS/yaphets would be joining up in this team in the near future as well.

I dont particularly know what's sunny roaster, because i dont really watch their replays. I have picked up this game, because this game features the new DK clan. My commentaries are under youtube page.
There are 4 parts to it, and here are the links:
Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPMXNDRh3Ok
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjTAWuwoAl8
Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3t-yL5Qs00
Part 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIadRh74jRw

Due to quality of my commentaries, i have not tried to upload these videos accordingly to my blog, let me know if  you guys want me to actually upload it onto this blog  in the future. This is actually my 2nd commentary and i did pretty bad, comparing to the 1st one, due to my monotone and boring stuff that i talk about hahaha, so i apologize for that, i hope to improve in the future as well, and i hope u guys can support me :)

We will skip the gameplay, and go directly to the end game analysis. Overall DK wasnt performing as well as i have expected them to be, especially with Burning just having a vanguard and barely a diffusal blade, and not even having a radiance. KingJ did really decent on visage, since he is known as one of the best visage in the world. Other than that, there's nothing much can be said on the sentinel, with Ksss on weaver being extremely underfarmed.

Over at scourge, morphling has been doing fairly well, with decent support coming from witch doctor and slayer, which assisted him to proceed to his manta style, linken sphere, and skadi, by the time, game finishes, along with batrider picking up a vanguard and pipe.

This is ideal signing off.

Nirvana.cn vs Deity


So hey guys, this game is going to be between Nirvana.cn and Deity. These 2 clans have been clashing alot recently. Sad news is that Nirvana.zhou has left nirvana for good for his new clan, whereas yaphets is going to be leaving after this game, from that i heard. He is going to be teaming up with Burning, KingJ, BenZ,Kssss ( his former clan mate, and good friend)

This game features Yaphets going onto hard carry, Morphling and dominates the game, with 22 mins Ethereal Blade, Linkin Sphere. However having said that, Deity did put up a good fight in the beginning. Game was quite even, in terms of headcounts.

End game analysis: Since this game was abit short, this made end game analysis pretty hard. All i can say is that, Yaphets and SJQ's sf did pretty well farming up respectively. Followed up Batrider and Spectre from scourge, i must admit batrider should have gone to the normal BoT, Dagger and Pipe build, rather than Endurance Aura. Spectre has failed to farm up his radiance, which made this game a bit one-sided, however, he is not the only one at fault, because his team mates failed to assist him, and took control of the lanes respectively. Nevertheless, epic game

This is ideal, signing off.

Music is the greatest gift

LOL, kinda sick of how i have been starting my blog sentences, but screw that. This post is going to be about Music. For those of you who have known me long enough, you should know that i am a crazy fan of music, be it english, japanese, korean or anime's original soundtrack, i am an-all-together-crazy-music-lover. So today's gonna be a first post about music that i have enjoyed last week. 10 songs are to be chosen, listed in descending orders, SO HERE WE GO:

10. Fuckin' Perfect.
This song is actually sang by Pink. Just so u guys know, from the past, she has released a couple of songs which really brought me to liking her alot. Although this song is recent, but due to the constant listening to it, i have ranked it 10th instead of 1st HAHA. Life isnt fair, but nevertheless, do go and check her past old songs out, namely Please dont leave me, I dont believe  you, So what, Sober, and the recent hit, Raise your glass.

9. Who's that girl
This song used to be/is the favorite song of my stupid gf. This is actually sang by Guy Sebastian, feating EVE. i aint sure who the hell is eve, but this song is quite catch. Guys Sebastian has released a couple of good songs with his latest singles/album, with "Art of love", and "Like it like tat" ranking pretty high a couple months ago in Australia. So, do go and check them out:)

8. Take over control
I am completely new to this singer, and he's called "Afrojack", but throughout this song, its mostly girl's vocals, going along. I remember i heard it in my car, and went like"holy shit, who sings this" and then forgot about wanting to check it, and when the feelings came back, i forgot the lyrics, so that means its fail. My habir of finding out what music on the radio, is mostly remember the lyrics, then go google.com and type the shit out, so it shows the artist and the song name HAHA. anyways, do check on this awesome song

7. Heartbeat
This song is by Enrique Iglesias, and i can never remember the spelling of his name HAHA. He's done a pretty good job releasing his album this period, having almost 3/4 songs being at the top at the chart, namely, "I like it", "Tonight i am loving you, and lastly heartbeat.

6. Waiting for the end
This song is sang by the legends, Linkin Park. They have been flamed alot recently due to their switch of genres and what not. But what i personally think is that, if you really like a band, and because of their switches/ something that they did, made yourself dislike them, then u arent a fan. A fan is a person that roots and supports someone, whatever they do. Oh, forgot to mention, 1000 suns, and "Not alone" are rpetty good ones, both charted top in Australia, some weeks ago.

5. Teenage Dream
Katy Perry has been hitting the charts really hard starting from 2009, with singles such as I kissed a girl, Your so gay, Hot and cold, thinking of you, and the list goes on and on. i used to love this song alot somehow, and i  just wanted to mention it in this top list, but i am sure you guys know this song already, since it's an international hit.

4. Happiness
This is a debut single by the single Alexis Jordan, who's only currently 18. Not much information that i know of, but do give the song a try, it's kinda like a trance song, but somehow, i like it. For most of the people, i am not really a fan of any trance song, but this is an exception :)

3. Dirty Talk
This song has been released for around 2/3 weeks, and at first i really wanted to know who sings it, and eventually i ended up finding and downloading this song. Wynter Gordon is the artist of the song, and please do not ask me anything about her, because i havent heard of the name before, but i do now. This song is definately recommended in the list.

2. Rocketeer
I am sure due to the recent hit of LIKE A G6, most asians have been going crazy over this band, Far East Movement. However due to this overeaction over the song, i have come disliking "Like a G6". I liked it alot, but the radio kept broadcasting it, and i got sick of it. Anyways, without further ado, lets get down to this song. I cant say much for this song, but all i know it, IT'S FUCKING AWESOME, do give it a try:)


1. ...........................WHO'S THAT CHICK................................
Everyone, be it chinese, korean, or japanese, if you havent heard of Rihanna, then your not an english music fan. Rihanna has been great throughout the years, and her fame is incredible. This song is of no difference, i got hooked on this song, 1 month ago, and i still love it. I would also like to point out that, this song is by a DJ called david guetta, featuring Rihanna.

That's the end of the list. I would like to mention, the numbers dont matter all too much except for 1st and 2nd song. :)

Scythe.SG vs SB.Gigabyte

Good morning guys, as i have said before, this blog is going to be about alot of stuffs, including Dota replays. So here we go today, this post is going to be a replay based on Scythe and Starsboba.

Replays taken from gosugamers.net/dota/replays

Introduction: Scythe.SG is actually a newly created team consist of Yamateh from the nirvana.my, and hyhy from the original scythe.sg team. Due to communication problem in nirvana.my, Yamateh has chosen to leave nirvana.my recently. i dont really know what's the story behind HyHy's new team creation idea. All i know is this is for sure gonna be an epic team.




Content: Yamateh and Hyhy going onto Necrolite and Shadow Fiend, respectively. Followed by SoSoon, MangaQ and Recca, going onto Morphling, Razor, and Alchemist, respectively. Scores were all pretty even throughout the game.



End game items and analysis:
Hyhy: Satanic, Butterfly, BKB, Threads, Blink Dagger
Yamateh: Shiva's Guard, Guinsoo, Boots of Travel, Mekasm, Pipe

Morphling: Linkin Sphere, Sange and Yasha, Ethereal Blade
Razor: Hood, Blade Mail, Meka
Alchemist: 2x Platemails, Vanguard, Blademail



overall sentinel's carries have been doing very well, especially with Yamateh farming up and being extremely tanky, with around 2k Hp, and nearly 40 armour after frost's armour by the lich. No much comments can be made for sentinel, except personally i think Butterfly for Shadow Fiend is a little bit too over-rated, which only provides you with 30 agilitty, 30 increased attack speed, 30 evasion. I am not sure why hasnt anyone gone for an Ice of skadi instead, because it provides all stats with 25 boost, hence leaving u with alot of excess HP and MP pool. Personally, i think, since skadi and butterfly havent had much of a difference in terms of Gold count, but skadi provides better survivability throughout, and even for a game like this, going up against an ogre magi, and venge line-up, there's always a chance that you would get caught in the midst of the fight, and get multi-casted followed by morphling's DPS. Therefore, my personal opinion is, having hyhy going for a skadi instead of a butterfly.

Scourge hasn't been doing all too bad in team fights, except for poor item choices. SoSoon as usual, been showing the viewers his solid play through his stable farming however, he is lost due to Alchemist and Razor. I would also like to point out that, he has picked up an ethereal blade around 35-40 minutes mark. Personally i think this is a mistake, he should have gone farming it FIRST up, then going back to his linken's and S Y build, reason for this recommended build is that, ethereal blade is like an armlet of morridgan, the quicker u get it, the more efficient it is. No one can deny that truth, because as everyone would know, people started having more HP and MP pool throughout the game, therefore, having an ether blast, it allows morphling to quickly pick out support heroes in the jungle or even in the lane juz by themselves.

The other two big mistakes that scourge has, are alchemist's and razor's build. They are playing it totally wrong. Alchemist should have gone radiance first up after a vanguard, and he shouldnt have bought a blademail, he doesnt have enough presence to be recognised with, and especially with his blademail switched on, the entire sentinel is going to switch target to morphling or razor and DPSing them down. Alchemist should have played with Radiance, Assault Cuirass, and Shiva's to have his presence for the benefits of his team mates. Razor hasnt been played alot, but by referring to Nirvana.zhou's play, it is almost crucially important to stack up static link to drain opponent's carry's damage, and this way, you eliminate a factor. And of course with that being said, a farmed up razor is normally going to have aids with a Tri-lane, which we didnt see from this case.

Nevertheless, epic epic game, from both sides. I am a fan of Starsboba, and yamateh, and by writing this analysis, helps me to learn alot more about team play. And PLEASE, let me know your suggestion and builds for the heroes in this game, if you doubt my personal bias towards, scourge.

This is ideal, signing off.

Complexity and Simplicity clashes

hey guys, so i am finally making the effort to post everyday or at least once every 2 days, its been pretty hard, eventho its only been a day. Things are looking pretty tight and seems like everything's going back to the darkness. Maybe it's time for me to revert back to self-loving myself more than any1 does. One of the reason i created this blog was to erase and start anew, and i am determined to do this for my entire life. Like one of Katy Perry's lyrics: "don't ever look back". Sometimes, people tend to be harsh at you or things, maybe it's better to just take a step back, and forget everything they say, because at the end of the day, your own happiness is worth alot compared to the others'. Right? So here i am now, talking about strange things just to start this post. Dota commentaries are tougher than i thort, aside from the constantly speaking of things, i had to adapt to editing and and compiling bits and pieces, and form them into a bigger picture.

I have tried casting twice today, and none have worked, so i figured maybe today just isnt my day, and in the end, i gave up. Today didnt happen much, just been going for lunch, and stayed home trying to cast these replays, and ended up having nothing. Anyway, pretty short post today. This is ideal signing off.

Love and regards.


Fun tips and facts: Sometimes it's alot better to ditch the unimportant, and focus on the bright side. At the end of the day, the last thing u would wan to end up having is being sad and depressed. Sometimes, things are just not the way it is especially when it seems to be fine. If it takes that much energy to focus on the bright side, then eventually no matter how long it takes, you still gotta learn it someday, so why not spend sometime evaluating ourselves before thinking it's the worst case possible. And remember, whatever people says, it can't be taken back. Thus, it is always the best, if we are being honest to ourselves.

Advice: Take a step back, evaluate, and be positive. Be happy afterall, life's too short to be anything but happy. Hope this helps :)

Codes and Guns

Hey, so what's up guys, its been so awfully long since i last posted anything. I have actually been thinking what to do with my current blog, so there we go, i figured out maybe this time, i would blog about something that i really enjoy in my life.

This blog is gonna be a mixed between me posting about random stuffs that i like, and the life that i am living in Australia. People in the web call me ideal, and i dun normally review my real name to any1 under normal circumstances. So once again, i am starting a new blog, this should be really exciting. Just a summary of the entries that i probably would end up posting:

1st: My personal life
2nd: A Warcraft 3's custom game called DOtA, stands for defense of the ancients
3rd: Anime
4th: Music
5th: Other irrelevant and random stuff

Oh, i would also like to mention about me casting dota replays, since i am a huge fan of professional replays and in terms of follow-ups and what not. Just a very short intro for today, peace out.

Signing off,
