CW yesterday was uber fun! Joined Legends when they invited me. DF and gang tried to take rio, but phailed, lols. Still looking for a job, still no luck, ah well, if it comes to staying at home throughout this one month .. whee~ But with recent big ticket purchases, my bank account's dwindling =x

Anyhow, last Saturday I went to Tangs to exchange an Elle bag I'd bought for $89. Ended up choosing three bags from MEL, and got myself a watch from Denni as well:
















My bags, and the little bag with my watch below:
















And now, manga. I'm reading 100% Perfect Girl at the moment, waiting for D.Gray-man/Midnight Secretary/Hanatsuki Hime. I wish they'd get the manga/anime uploaded and scanslated faster, so I wouldn't have to wait.

That's about all, prolly won't be updating so soon.

P.S: Saph, Seth, you guys rock! Nice to see you haven't forgotten me, haha. Holler on msn if yall need me ^^

Let's trash this out .. since it had to come to this.

A few FACTS. As known to those who went for the meeting yesterday. Want to twist my words and say, " oh you're trying to pin us down", to which I refer you to this thread here
My reply is same as that on sGe forums, except I have more to add on my own blog.

1) HR had a meeting yesterday, among SG members.
2) Split tables before the meal already. Each to his/her own camp.
3) Hard enough to talk/hear in a public area, much less make self heard. But moja was trying his best, and what did some of you guys on the other end do? Talk, laugh, have your own convo. Already overriding respect and authority.
4) The challenge was from DF. "If IXL in the fac, then I will leave" I asked you was that an ultimatum, you said no. Then what was it other than a clear statement what you're gonna do?

Now, I'll address my thoughts on DF, and your gang.

1) Won't go into detail about what was mentioned during the meeting, but really, DF, you think you did a much better job when you were RL? I never saw any SS about what were the loot, who got the loot, sqd members. Only when asked, then you posted 3 images on Griffon and said, those 3 pictures is more than a thousand words, or something to that effect. So 3 images can cancel out the OTHER images not posted? An excuse to keep quiet aka divert attention from other issues to pacify those people who've been asking for what's theirs? Wow, talk about multitasking.
2) The reason why I raised the issue about your other pilot (the one who doesn't go to outings) is because even if step down as DL, I think its pretty serious if someone as guailan (from what I heard) as your pilot is piloting your account. Your account that as a player was important to HR, as council member as DL as someone who had authority (and we never thought you would abuse it either til you kept quiet on so many raids). Until you showed your true colours yesterday night.
3) Secret meeting after that. Not surprising, since you also had a secret meeting a few days ago prior to yesterday's meeting and got all the RL to step down. Great job! How influential! For someone who said "I will not pull anyone from HR" you have already stepped on your own foot when some followed you. Are more to follow? Think I can guess who will go with my 2 eyes closed.
4) To ah ma. You guys want to show you guys can make it on your own, go ahead. Since you're aflush with GOL loot, orbs and funds, you can do what you like, and nothing much we can do about it.
5) "secure a position in Legends?" In all the factions I've been in, I have yet to contribute anything before I join. Never for DefendeRz, nor ReBeLaTion nor Crusaders nor HR. And that's not about to change. GOL tactics as a bribe? Puh-lease. You think people don't go because they don't know how it works? ZZ. Ask Einwind why he doesn't drop ELN anymore, then.

Bah. Bandying words was never my strong suit, even if I'm blunt about my words.

Below is a slideshow that I created from the 40+ SS from a convo with DF and STW ytd morning. Being awake til 5am is no joke! After meeting was already tired from all the testosterone flying around. But this will save me from repeating things I'm sick of hearing again.

Of books, movies and .. a haircut heh

Its been 3 weeks since my op, and after endless medication and rest (here and there), I think I'm recovering quite fine. Last week was quite an eventful one for me. On Saturday, after visiting Dr. Chen, I went to Borders and bought a copy of Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child's Book of The Dead at $17.95, after trying to get the ebook to no avail (and being put on the local library's waiting list for months. Yeah, months.) Not even Benny nor Rildiz could find any proper ebook of that, only audio books. I was thrilled to find the only copy on the shelf (Borders should have an alphabetical index for their books!) and promptly completed my first reading late into the night.

Also, I pre-ordered Stephanie Meyer's Breaking Dawn, which I will collect tomorrow after work; supposedly I'll get 25% discount off the retail price if I pre-order. I can't wait! Below is the convo I had with Elodin, my old friend from EL over in the U.S:













His font is a wee bit small, sorry if you have to squint to read, basically he says Kim (his gf) is reading BD already .. and I am so awfully jealous! Dang. But no matter, tomorrow night I will be one happy fan :D

Fast forward to this week - I've been trying to get the mp3 for this particular D.Gray-man theme from Episode 93 entitled "The 14th's Song/Musician by Yumi Moitora". So far, fans are going gaga over this particular piano piece (because ITS AWESOME and it really is) and like them, I've managed to source out the MIDI files, Benny helped me with the music sheets (I haven't gotten around to tinkering on the piano yet but I will soon) and a yummy-licious pic of Kanda <3~












Whee he's alive! I know that from the manga but still .. Kanda to Lavi: "Baka-usagi!" is teh lols

Just yesterday, we had another HR outing! Who went: Jaslin, Clement, Erik, Qing Wei (Vongola), Joseph (uthinkleh), Shaun (Onggy), Spinelli, Jerry, Stephanie (Arielite), Francis (cyctoo) together with some Legends members, whose names I forgot already. Anyway, the plan was to have dinner first then watch The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor at Marina Square. But it was a Saturday, plus NDP preview was going on, so it took a while before we found seats for 18 at The Cafe Cartel. (I think the Legends people had some private agreement to wear black .. all or-lulu at their table ROFL)

I shared St. Louis Pork Ribs with Jaslin (very big portion, very value-for-money and yummy!), and the boys had some Crispy Platter or something. We wanted a waffle ice cream for dessert but were too full to eat anything more. After that, the movie .. I won't give spoilers away for those who haven't watched, but it's decent even with a tad too much CGI effects, still worth watching. But the O'Connells' speaking Chinese cannot make it and the yetis .. twas a bad idea to put it in the movie, methinks. Maybe I shall catch My Sassy Girlfriend (the U.S remake of the Korean original) and Space Chimps next, if time and my wallet permits.

And then today, cycled with my parents to Marsiling, where I had ba chor mee for breakfast before heading to the hair saloon. 5 hours later, I emerged from the saloon with a 'soft' rebond done and my hair neater .. but I think the time was worth it, because Lily, the hairdresser who attended to me was very detailed and she really did a great job with my hair.

Phew, lengthy blog post. Off for a nap before dinner and CW at 8pm. Ciao~
