Malaysian Success With DotA Online Game 2016/17

Malaysian game players have been making waves for sometime and only recently they are appearing in local media for DotA2. These competitions are really closing in the gap of male to female players. Probably in future there won't be a need for female only competitions, as they progress to be on equal grounds. DotA 2 the  sequal to Defense of the Ancients, is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) that have a long time standing of fans all over the world. Probably the only video game competition that provided total prize of USD1million in 2011. This got kind of inspiring to serious gamers around the world when in 2015, the prize pool came to over USD18.4million for its international tournament. If you have heard people talking about Pokemon being a devils game due to its sudden number of fans, then its for sure these are the same people who have not heard of DotA and similar serious games that command a more intense immersion into the world of gaming.

A horror story: Bungalow at Jalan Turi

A True Story What started with an online search for places to go to in Bangsar, eventually led to a very strange article marked "exciting". There were two distinct sites findbulous travel and tourplus mentioning the same story, this got the better of me and led to digging for more info of this bungalow in Bangsar. The area in general is considered as a place for the upper class and I can say most properties  there would be freehold. The original bungalow at no.10 Jalan Turi, Taman Bukit Pantai is a 3 story building with the entrance at 2nd floor and 1st floor is down one level. After over 10 years abandoned, the bungalow have been demolished and who knows what have replaced it, only media reports of the old story remains. Siblings Arjun 7, Kabir 11 American of Indian descend and their maid, Natalia were found brutally murdered in their bungalow. Its reported in the media that on 23 April 1992, their cut up bodies were found in a septic tank. The security guard, Ariff
