Faction Meeting

Wednesday:

Met Ximen and Emer at Dhoby Ghaut at 6pm, so they could bring me to the Parklane LAN shop. They were nice people overall, except they smoked. Turns out I made a fuss out of nothing at all, we walked a pretty straightforward path to Connection o2 at lvl 2. And I was asking Tunes how to go there lol. Then we de siao Titan and said Tunes was bringing me haha.

Reached at 6.30pm, I met xiaoger, Kinki, PaChi, Titan, Tunes (they both came as I was leaving) and some others who names I forgot at the LAN shop. Pretty united Faction we have. Went for dinner at 8.20pm with Kinki, Ximen and Emer, I got wanton mee and ice milo. Because it was Roland's wedding on that day, so some of them came late.

Enjoyed myself, Tunes wasn't happy that I was leaving at 10pm. But, I told them I had a presentation the next day, so they let me leave, not before them saying it was still early, and Tunes asking me if I was sure I wouldn't get lost on the way back lol.

Got home at 11 plus, Mum was worried, but I told her it was nothing. Crashed straight away.

Thursday:

Presentation went well, gotta love the humour and creativity in everyone's skits, Kannan loved it. Laughs all around =) And this time Robin remembered to wear formal.

Friday:

Was late for our final lesson for Business Communication by 15 mins today, but oh well. Kannan handed us ice cream sticks, one each, I chose purple. Then, she told us that she'd enjoyed these 16 weeks of teaching us, that we were a very positive, hardworking class. After that, she told us about goals, to think big, and asked us to write down our major goal in life on one side of the ice cream stick.

I wrote: To be successful in life and love.

My friends wrote different things, like good careers, earn xxx by xx age, and so on. After that, she told us to write this on the other side of the stick: I have greatness in me. We were to repeat this mantra to ourselves daily, because, as she said, we had the potential to do great things. Bid a sad farewell to her, as we left the class. Liked her lesson the best among my modules .. ah well, we can talk to her on msn so its not too bad lol.

Sch wise, integrating ECPJ today. I swear I give up trying to call from database. Errors and more errors. Uggh. I was spending the night debugging, and swearing at my laptop.

GE wise, first they said server maintanence til 4pm yesterday. Then, they changed it to 6pm. Then, they extended it to 12 noon today, but they would give us 2x exp as a sweetener til Monday, 10am, when they reset it back to normal rates. I waited like !@#$% for it til 6pm, got fed up and went on Forums instead. Bit of a furore on Forums, people saying how its going to make lvl100 pros look dumb. But can you imagine, if it was a 2x drop rate, then those bloody botters would be farming like mad, resulting in a market inflation, or fluctuation. As it is they are already ruining things for us, they appear all over the map, and IAH GAMES STAFF DON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE BOTTERS. WE JUST KEEP SENDING TICKETS AND THEY KEEP IGNORING US. NOTHING SUBSTANTIAL DONE TO BAN THEM COMPLETELY.

That said, I doubt I'd be taking much advantage of the 2x exp, since I'm making a guide on Ferrucio's Boxes, with coordinates and locations. Wish me luck =)
