OpenRice

Initially launched for Hong Kong (with the Traditional Chinese version only) in 1999, the English version was later introduced to accommodate the increasing demand from non-Chinese-speaking Hong Kongers and foreign residents in Hong Kong. As of July 2012, the Hong Kong website alone has approximately 40,000 recorded restaurants, 530,000 registered diners and over 572,000 ratings and comments.

I was surprised to work as a temporary restaurant surveyor under them. I was glad that I was able to and the salary pay is good as it's survey per few ringgits! Off to work. Remember to enjoy their dining guide and directories, I'm filling up Sarawakian section with my iPhone 4 picture taking to make sure it looks good on the website.

Malaysia Vengeance Cup 2013

AsiaSoft has come forward to support the Starcraft 2 scene, and are working with SC2SEA to promote some awesome eSports events.

We may have been slightly disappointed to find out South-East Asia no longer has its own WCS this year. Lucky for us, the kind folks at Blizzard & AsiaSoft have put together a small series of tournaments just the SEA region in the form of the Vengeance Cup. This should provide the chance of good competition along with decent prize pools!

For now, these countries will be  Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, with each of them having their own prize pools and national champions. The Malaysian Vengeance Cup alone already has a cash prize pool of 4,900RM!. The prizes are sponsored by Blizzard and organised by AsiaSoft Malaysia, while SC2SEA.com will be the official community partner. There is also a separate $1,000RM Star Jeweled tournament going on as the side event, so get your girlfriends down and score some sweet loot!

I might be joining this competition to gain more experiences and exposures on the current metagame of Starcraft II but also hopefully that Star Jeweled has online qualifier to put myself through into Kuala Lumpur for Grand Finals! Find me at Battle.Net Code : RollsRoyce.817 if you want casual games and competitive guidance for me as I'm just basically Silver league level in Malaysia and had more times on Dota 2 and other competitive arcade games for now.

Lot 10 Cafe

It's been a while since I posted foods and this one is specifically from Lot 10 Cafe , CityOne Shopping Mall in Kuching city. What they offer? Basically, they offer instant noodles, burgers , fast food corners and etc. I ordered the foods and most of them are extraordinary cheap! This is by far the cheapest cafe at the mall itself and is located at the basement carpark sector.

Remember to drop by and have some fast meals. I liked how they cooked the instant noodle and would like to ask for two packets next time. They offer lots of drinks as well as a water refill machine. So there you have it!

DotaBeyond's First Blood Tournament

As DotaBeyond is growing significantly, we felt the need to contribute to the Dota 2 scene in SEA with our very own tournament!

We could not wait to announce our very first tournament so we have already opened registrations for teams to sign up!

The tournament will be held on the 1st/2nd of June and 8/9 June 2013.
Currently, our prize pool includes 60 treasure keys in total for the in-game Dota 2 store and USD175 worth of Steam Wallet, sponsored by the guys over at e-Club Malaysia! DotaBeyond is currently in talks with a number of organizations regarding prize sponsorship and will increase the prizepool.

We are expecting 64 teams in total competing in the league, and we are in discussion with Valve to provide us with a DotaTV ticket bundled with a courier that we are developing so viewers may buy the tournament ticket and watch it in game.

Casters for the tournament will include our very own casters:
Kae Liu aka Kae, he has been casting matches from many tournaments such as Littany League, DotaTalk Gold Cup, Gosucup Asia III & IV, OGM Dota 2 SEA Open, Noxious Gaming Dota 2 Open, Armageddon Singapore, NLGS Oceania and etc.

Nguyễn Phương Khánh Tùng aka Madcatz and he too has casted many tournaments from Littany League to DotaCinema’s Smoke of Defeat EU/NA to Myanmar Armaggedon Grand Slam Qualifier and more.

More information on the tournament here: http://www.dotabeyond.com/forum/showthread.php?34-Tournament-Details





Currently, there will be at least 3 tournaments I will be joining under team ToT (Team of Throwers) which was a name suggested by me. As I have mentioned earlier, I am spicing up my blog with my Dota 2 ventures and trying to go as far on the top 8's of the entire SEA region if possible or the least a stable Top 10 because my teams are all amateurs and we have more lives than professional teams I guess? Heck cares well...


DotaBeyond's First Blood Tournament , Dota 2 The Bounties and The Rampage DotA 2 Tournament will be participated and attended by Royce.

Dota 2 The Bounties - Malaysia

It is said that not every victory is meaningful – we beg to differ.
E-Club proudly brings to you Dota 2 – The Bounties. Contrary to the traditional game formats, every win on this tournament will be instantly gratified.
The name is apt to the format, as every win will let a team receive a ‘bounty’, and thus a progressive prize is developed as a team advances further into the tournament.
Dota 2 – The Bounties is an online tournament, and it will be played on seven different SEA countries.

G-1 Champions League Season 5

We have witnessed incredible upsets as well as exciting games this weekend. From Invictus Gaming's fall from being undefeatable, to the Western team of Alliance showing that China is not the only nation that can play DotA. Today is the third and final day of the tournament, the last three matches which will decide who the best team in the world is today.

G-1 Champions League began its fifth season with hundreds of teams from around the world. Eventually it was whittled down to six of the world's best. Those six teams were even invited to VALVE's very own, The International 3 in Seattle, Washington. This weekend they went head to head in spectacular fashion and today the final four will play for a chance at the $40,200 first place prize.

Will Alliance be able to maintain their perfect record? Or will an on-fire LGD China be able to overcome the Swedes in order to bring glory to their nation. Stay tuned and find out!
