This incident happened on Sun night, before I went to sleep. (refer to pic taken while in Skull Dung)



















While running to Ferrucio Junction to save warp for this coming CW, I stopped just before the entrance at Stone Pit to reply to pms. This Penthouses guy ran past, and then stopped beside me and killed the mobs around. When I was done, he said "You have to give me ..." I was like, WTF lols. Just because my wiz was wearing Original Wiz costume (starting costume) and my fighter was wearing Sunset Stripe costume, this guy thinks I'm some noob who needed saving. Hello, I'm like veteran already zzz. I didn't know whether to laugh or get mad at him. Then I promptly removed my costume to show him what I was wearing - Clara Mago and Gladiator Armor and told him I was a vet.

After we ended the conversation and I had reached a spot to save warp, I decided to pm my friend Wingdols who was in Espanola faction, same as this perp. He told me Penthouses was a noob, a new member who just joined a faction an hour ago. We both had a good laugh as I recounted the incident to him.

And I repeated to my sister. And because it's too funny to pass up I HAD to share it here as well lols.

Ok, next - 2 pics from Sunday's CW .. the attendees who went and won a colony for us. Credits to Starsunder who sent me the images:

Victors:

Wonderful news ^^

*this post will only be about GE*

First, my fighter finally reached vet today! After crazy grinding for the past few days, she finally made it. At 9.10pm, Elentari achieved vet status ^^
















Happily went to Bahia to take celebratory pics:































The trio of vets:






























While I was posing away, 9.50pm -
















I was so shocked and happy. Thanks to the brave efforts of Analytic, Starsunder, Zervantes, Reventz, LEONHARTIA, jaydee and PaLLeRa (Dan was sick so his pilot took over for this CW) and a soon-to-be-faction-mate SuperSaiyans, we managed to get a colony ^^ First time too. And luckily there wasn't enough time for my friend NoVoCaine to get their colony back since 10pm was the end of CW. I did tell them not to war GoD faction, but well, something good came out of it.

So now the World Map has our faction name on it:















Well done peeps~ Congrats again ^^ We'll have to work hard to defend our colony next week ^^

Was a tad moody ytd .. but Dan and an old friend from EL cheered me up ^^

Chatted with said friend about her family .. her baby boy Gabriel is turning 4 months soon, and his older sister Aurora is 18 months old and adores her lil bro. Hope ya find a good man who cherishes you and your kids, gal. Send me postcards when you move to Washington!

And I got jackpot~ [URL=http://img204.imageshack.us/my.php?image=capture00023tr9.jpg][IMG]http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/4426/capture00023tr9.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

First time that I got so many gold bars ^^ Now I just need to train more to go to Kato. And my sis is lvl40 already, I'm so proud of her. She's ready to move to Port Bello to train~ Gonna bring her around for the Adelina quest.

Just wanted to introduce Kelvin's comic strip to you guys, I'll leave things here.

Results out ..

.. and I phailed for SENGP.



















A whole string of C and Ds, no surprises there. But even my best effort for SENGP paper couldn't save me. Haiz. I'm so not looking forward to breaking the news to my mum. Nor repeating for that subject.

*stoned*

And it continues.

The thread I made (see earlier post) is now 3 pages, and counting. Meanwhile player02 seems to have launched a personal attack against me here

I've had worse. Let's see how soon he gets banned.

*playlist changed from Rozen Maiden OST to something more soothing, on Spin's request*

So cyber bullying .. prevails?

Spending a few days away from sGE forums cost me dearly.

When I went to the "Other" section of General Chat this afternoon, this is what I saw: a friend of mine, Kusa, being bullied by the other residents of GC.

Take a look here if you like. Look down the whole page, and read if you will, on how they bully her.

In the end I posted this, being fed-up:












It just saddens me that there are idiotic people like those who enjoy tormenting my dear friend like this. Is it a crime to be yourself? Is it wrong to have your endings in meow, etc etc

Sheesh.

I must say, TEP is the weirdest period of time spent in sch. As I'm in BSU with group 4A, when we're not calling people, we're doing data entry, data analysis, talking, eating, snacking, stoning, discussion that kills brain cells (cos its hard for us to agree on anything), slacking, sneaking off (esp certain people ..). And, getting ready for a presentation around 27 Mar, for our DBS client.

1 week plus, and I've come to realise .. I dunno, sort of hate this routine that I fall into invariably everyday. Lunch at 12pm, and the rest of the day rotting if we have nothing to do. haiz

And I hate the godforsaken rain! It rains everyday and we freeze everyday too.

Slacked off updating my blog cos I'm mostly tired when I reach home these days. Other than catching up on anime and manga, and watching movies online, otherwise I pretty much get bored.

Anyways, went with my parents to Changi Airport on Tues to fetch my sis home. We arrived early so we explored Terminal 3:















"Hanging Gardens of Babylon" in the background. And I love the ceiling (see below)















They had a kopitiam, and Candy Empire OMG. But the shops were sparse, and some weren't open yet. And, I saw Secret Recipe there too. Woots~ Terminal 3 is really spacious, but whether it can be better .. we'll see. And planning for T4 is already beginning, so I wonder if T3 will be able to develop into a nice terminal, or get overshadowed by the future T4.















This is what the outside of Crystal Jade Shanghai looks like. You can't miss its curves - the restaurant is just on top of the Departure sign board.















And by the time we reached home and was ready to settle down, it was 2 plus am already. Couldn't stay awake the next day and was late =x My sis got me a nice handmade scarf, coloured silver and black. My mum got a handbag while my dad got a shirt. As for my little bro, he got a nice wooden box, with a carved, lacquered dog on the cover. In the end they were so rushed, they only had 1.5 hrs to shop so my sis didn't buy much. I'm just glad she's home safe.

Makan

My day started at 8am, when I woke early to go with my parents to Sembawang Hill Food Centre @ Upper Thomson Road for breakfast. From Yishun MRT we took bus 169, passing by the Khatib and Nee Soon army camps along the way. Our target - kway chap at this stall which I had missed from my childhood days. Hadn't been there for 10 years.


































Stomachs sated, we decided to walk around and explore the shops, and upon seeing this restaurant and perusing the menu, we agreed on coming back later for lunch.















According to mum IVINS is a pretty well known eatery that has been around for 10+ years, specializing in authentic Peranakan food. Since we were quite full from breakfast, we went on to Pierce Reservoir nearby to walk a bit.

Took these pictures while we were there:





























We decided to go on the trail, which was quite a short one, and found this strange tree with little "apples" on it.





























By the time we were done it was 11.30am already, and starting to feel hungry we walked back to IVINE. The food on the menu was quite affordable, about $4/5 per dish. We ordered ayam buah keluak (spicy chicken curry, the in-house favourite), honey pork, sotong sambal, hee peow soup (fish maw), otak otak pangang (spicy fishcake wrapped in banana leaf), nonya chap chye.















The honey pork, which was recommended by the waitress, lives up to expectations. Don't be fooled by its appearance, when fried with onions and peas this dish really hits the spot. Warm, juicy, succulent pork with that tinge of sweetness .. its oishi, sedap, SUBARASHI~~~~~ *floats*















Otak in its banana leaf wrapping. Its soft, melts-in-your mouth and is also very spicy















Chendol for dessert. They added gulah melaka so it was really sweet =x But the sweet aroma of coconut lends a strong flavour to this dessert.

The rest of the dishes were not bad, but the chap chye was too salty for me, and the sotong sambal could have been stir fried instead of gravy. Nevertheless, it was a great lunch we had.

Can't wait to go back there again. 20 out of 10 stars ^^

A flight~

Yesterday, my mum brought this home for me from the office: an Aboriginal necklace that her colleague had bought while in New Zealand.



















While its simple, I like its design very much, and have started wearing it ^^

Oh, but more importantly .. today morning at 4am, my sister embarked on her 5D4N field trip to Cambodia with her class. For the past few days over the weekend, she had been packing, buying things that she needed. My mum and dad woke early at 2am to wake her up and send her to the airport. The noise they made woke me too, and I laughed when she came into the room twice before leaving the house to hug her bolster. Haha, I think she'd wished she could bring it lols. And I told her to come back safely. I hope she does.

Had I been apply to apply for leave I would have gone too .. as it is, they took a tour around the new Terminal 3, before having some coffee and coming home to sleep. Maybe when its time for my sis to come back I'll tag along and see for myself what T3 is like.

Work at BSU is fine, and we're all getting used to waking early, signing in and slacking until 9am. We're also used to calling people/data entry. But, what we haven't got used to is the freaking COLD of our project room and call centre. When my group went down for lunch break today, we were all shaking from the cold, brr.

I'm thinking of quitting GE .. lost the interest for it, haiz.

I'm assigned to group 4A with Dao Li and another girl, we're doing telephone surveys. Currently, there's one for SBM, which we will start on tomorrow, and another one commissioned by DBS (which the current grp 4A have already started) which we will do when finished with SBM.

I foresee Strepsils, plenty of water bottles incoming my way =x

Icy cold fun~

Met the group at Jurong East, in the end the guys decided to fly kite so it was only me, my group (Saihah - aka organiser, Huiqi, Clara, Sihan), Wei Shan, Shermin, Jess, Grace, Bing Xi, Dao Li and Robin who turned up. Since there was a promotion for Thursday, we each paid $12 for 2 hrs of ice skating.

I fell once, sustained blisters, and pretty much sticked to the side of the rink and slowly made my way around. It was only til the last 30 mins that I could skate without having to hold on to the side so short intervals. There were some pro skaters who made me jealous of the way they zoomed around so gracefully .. of course, there were little kids who were taking lessons from the instructors as well; it was fun to watch them.

After that, we stopped at 4pm and went to Pizza Hut for our lunch-cum-dinner. I got the Pizza Set Meal with a drink and soup (I chose Hawaiian):



















Stella arrived just when we were finishing our meal. And the bill came up to $9.50 for me, which was ok I guess. Falls, laughter, enjoyment of each others company .. that's how I would sum up today's outing. But, we all had fun, which was most important, and yeah I throughly enjoyed ice skating. Its fun enough for me to want to go for another session again, if there's a chance ^^

Will upload more pics when I get them.

That's all for now ^^

Exams .. over!

3 papers are all done ^^

Compared to last time 5 papers .. this time I slacked off on the last paper but ah well, guess I'm becoming accustomed to exams =x I think I put in my best effort for Econs and SENGP, hopefully my grades will be ok.

And tomorrow, our class is going ice skating @ Jurong East .. kind of like a get-together since we will all be splitting for TEP, IPP, some going Beijing, others studying first ... so it will be a long time before we will see each other again.

Myself, on 3rd March I have a TEP briefing at 8am





No holidays anyway. And I'm still waiting for updates on these anime: Saiunkoku Monogatari II, Bleach, Naruto, Rosario + Vampire.

Hoping there will be season 3 for Rozen Maiden: Traumend. Meanwhile, I'm watching Ah! My Goddess and Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan.

Ta for now.

I feel like I'm drifting further and further away from him ..

I love mods

There was a guy on sGE forums today, anti_bot hacker who apparently posted details (at 10.54am) from HR's private forum about their stance against botting, and some more proudly said that he spent 5 hrs to hack into it. I went to alert Sam about the thread:

http://forum.iahgames.com/ge/showthread.php?t=31195

and when I got back to Gen Disc section, voila, thread gone, and apparently TS also banned or something, cos couldn't find him in member list. Too bad I didn't screenshot.

LOL, and that infamous Irysfied use the post and make a long bolded list zz .. effort wasted haha

I think Hrin must have done it ^^ Goooo mods!

Edit: Ok, thread is still there but Hrin made TS edit his first post. But my post got quote him saying that:



















I'm only waiting for certain pple in forum to get banned ...

WOOOOOT~

I wonder if you, my dear readers remember me telling you all about the "Love Me" contest in sGE forums. Well, results came out today, and the first 10 winners have been announced, just take a look:


















2nd on the list!!!! I'm so proud of my boy ^^ hee~ And grats to the other winners with good entries as well, I didn't get in T_T but nvm, next time I shall ..

Viva la anime~

While mugging for exams, I fell in love with anime. Yes, and many series too!

First, Saiunkoku Monogatari, now in its 2nd series.





Next, Rosario To Vampire. I only like the ending song:



And lastly but not forgetting Harunkanaru Toki no Nakade Hachiyosho, but couldn't find the video, ah well.

Of course, I'm still watching Rozen Maiden, Bleach, Naruto Shippuden as well, so that makes .. 6 animes at a go whoo~

Ganbatte!!

p.s: I want Shunki's ring =)

2 songs, 1 video

1) 4 in the morning, by Gwen Stefani.

lyrics somehow struck a chord with me view lyrics here

2) Almost Here, by Delta Goodrem feat. Brian Mcfadden

A beautiful track I found. view lyrics here

lastly, a video. I think it's time we be honest with each other. Enough with words, if you still don't get my message we're through. I'm really tired.



Where will we go from here? It's your call.

New Year's over, exams incoming

So, as the weekend passes by, so does CNY ends. 4 days of non-top eating, visiting relatives .. I'm kind of tired of traditions. And routines, like visiting. All we do is chat, eat, watch tv and play card games. Makes me wonder if any of my cousins get bored of doing the same thing, no doubt once per year.

Found a nice little corner of Woodlands on Sun when we decided to go out. They cycled, I walked/jogged all the way to where RP is, and went in to the park. Curiously enough, its called Khatib Park tho the location is nowhere near Khatib.





























Its a large, airy space just right outside RP's compound, a haven for skaters and cyclists. Was quite windy that day, and I composed this poem while watching the children play at the playground. Very short and untitled, but inspiration has been poor for me lately.

Unfettered by chains,
running in joy unbridled.

Unbothered by critiques,
playing with carefree feeling.

Such is innocence,
such are little children.

I finally got to see the video that Dan has been pouring sweat and blood over today, on New Year Eve. In the process of making it I never got a hint of what he was capturing, but now I know. ^^ Here it is, and luckily he submitted it for the contest in time, cos they closed the thread.



All our favourite tracks ..

<3 the video but <3 my boy more

Happy New Year everyone!

Ordeal over?

Finally, the blasted - depressing - stressful - idiotic - damnable ITIPJ is over.

A lot of sweat, blood and tears went into our presentation, which we did our best for. Scott and Lim were relatively ok .. up to our turn to present we were still debugging errors as much as possible. Its over now so I don't want to talk about it .. but, I just want to say that things may happen when you least expect them. And when they happen .. well nobody wanted to it but ah well, to my team: good one, all. And .. I don't know Kelvin as well as the rest of you do but maybe we should give him a treat or something? =x

First thing I did when I got home yesterday was to head for my bed. Of course my mum nagged me to have dinner first, but I was drained, not to mention hurting from my blisters (which still hurt despite the plaster). Was in a relatively bad mood last night, don't know why. Then when I woke at 9 plus pm over dinner my mum told me about an incident that happened to her yesterday while she was on her way home from the doctor's.

Apparently she had gone to Cold Storage to buy some muah chee (the ones in the packets) like this:


















and had bought a little bag for us. Then she happened to pass by this store at the pasar malam near Woodlands MRT which was also selling muah chee from Taiwan, but the biscuit type and not the soft ones. When she went near, the ah pek (in his forties) and a young man (in his 20s with dyed hair) went to attend to her. The old man kept opening packets of muah chee for my mum to try out the flavours, saying "Yi nian yi chi, gan gan chi la, mei shi de. Lai, wo kai gei ni" (in Chinese, meaning that my mum was free to try his goods since this was a once a year thing (CNY) and that it was alright.) So, after trying out a few my mum decided to buy a little bag from them too. But who would have known the ah pek was trying to "kotok" my mum. Once she said she wanted to buy some, he immediately got a huge plastic bag and filled it by the armful with bags and bags of muah chee. My mum gaped at him, saying she didn't want so much. But the ah pek only repeated the same old line "yi nian yi chi" and when he was done weighing he told my mum, "Auntie, 2kg for $36 hor". Then my mum "huh" very loud, and all the other storekeepers nearby all looked at her cos this was early in the morning and she was the only customer around.

When my mum told him she didn't have enough, the ah pek asked to see how much she had in her wallet. When he saw that she had only $7 plus left, the ah pek said in Chinese "Auntie cannot be lar, your wallet so big how can so little money nia" then my mum said she only had this left since she had already bought a bag of muah chee from Cold Storage earlier. Then the ah pek said, "Aiya, Auntie, $20 I give you la, discount can la"The helper demanded to see what she bought, and brazenly OPENED MY MUM'S BAG OF MUAH CHEE AND ATE 2 PACKETS, giving the excuse that he wanted to sample what other stores were selling. While this was going on, the ah pek took the large bag he had filled up, and began pouring out (and I think deliberately) a lot of it til the only flavours left were the common ones like chest nut and red bean; and not the flavours my mum wanted to buy.

In the end he sold 400g of muah chee to my mum. When I finished hearing her story my mood turned worse. Wah lao .. this kind of uncle, want to scam people and some more so unreasonable de. Dirty business tactics sia wtf. Even though my mum says she think the uncle only trying to clear his stock fast. Must report to CASE *grumble*

I feel like going down to the pasar malam @ Causeway Pt and take his picture then post to Stomp sia. Hum chin peng.

After that, went on GE to bring my sis around. She direction sense still cannot make it, but at least I teach her how to read coordinate she can tell me her coor so I can find her lols. Level 13 liao not bad haha. And she happily report to me that she did a lot of quests liao and she knows how to use city guide to travel. T_T Then she tell me she want bellem boxes, I told her I supply the gold pieces but she camp at golden well for me, then split the boxes 30%/70%. Since she don't mind, then I said equips with good stats I will pass her, the rest I keep.

That was last night. This morning, I woke up in a better mood. Maybe cos my mum made pancakes whee~ At the moment in sch for my IB project meeting. Wanna go home early to play GE .. or sleep. See how ba~
