One of the special days...

Seriously, if I had to choose 10 of my favorite days of the year, I'd choose this.

So I woke up at 6.30 AM today ( and even with the alarm clock, I was afraid I would overslept ! ) and got myself ready for the meeting with my guildmates. I left house at around 7AM after having my breakfast at home.

I thought leaving my house at 7AM would mean that I would get those seats on the MRT but no - I arrived at the MRT station at 7.15 and it was semi-jammed pack for the ride to Jurong East interchange. I was'nt so lucky for the second trip thou, I had to stand for 3 stations cause there were simply no vacant seats. Can you belive it? 7.30AM on a Sunday and no vacant seats at all!

Anyway I met up with Uncle YK with his son the moment I reached there, but he had to make a move first as he was meeting his sister. So I just stood there...waiting...until James kor and Uncle Tainted at arrived at City Hall Interchange.

Then we met up with Kobe kor and Rain zeh (my defination of 'jie' ( Sister )) at Macdonalds and James kor taught me how to order a Student MCD EVM meal with the Student pass ! Guess what? I saved 10 cents for that ! ( Well 10 cents may not mean much now, but at least I auctually saved some money ) Looks like I'll be using my EZ Link card more then ever now !

So after breakfast we went up to verify our account. Thank god Uncle YK was queuing up already, so we just had to cut 3/4 of the queue. I know it's unfair - BUT LIVE WITH IT. And after the verification, I got a coupon that allows me to redeem my in game 3rd year anniversary FREE cash item.

After the verification we went down to the 1st story and used the event coupon to play those kind of " spin-the-wheels-and-win " games. I had two tries. I missed my first try and I ALMOST missed my second try. The divider was ONE inch away from deciding that I go home with a prize of I leave empty handed. Luckily, lady luck smiled on me. I got 3 postcards. I could'nt complain (although I do wish I had gotten the mini-plushie) but Kobe kor was even luckier - he got the mini plushie. And yes, the people behind were like " OMG HE'S SO LUCKY ! "

After that we had a short free and easy break. So there's really nothing much to write.

At 2PM we left the event site and went to the Singapore Toy&Comic Convention event. Boy - another memorable event. I changed into my cosplay outfit almost immediately
and I even got my FIRST PUBLIC cosplay photo there.

Inside the Convention event, it was just jammed pack. There were toys, lego, manga, anime and stuffs like that. For the first time - I'm auctually seeing that many cosplayers in Singapore. Boy - I'll be sure to attend the next event ! ( Sadly I missed the Cosfest 08 )

Anyway we went back after that and I had my postponed Addmaths tuition. Now I know the basics of Maxima and Minima ! Wish me luck on my test tomorrow !

Lesser and less.

Alright you guys might have noticed by now ; I'm updating the blog from daily to weekly. That's just because the school holiday has ended and I can't stay up late to 10PM or 11PM anymore.

No worries - I'll still blog weekly.

This is first week of term 3 in Secondary 4 and yeah, things have been going relatively smooth. A new english teacher and a new PE teacher. Surprisingly, that new english teacher WAS my CCA form teacher. Yes, and it's a nightmare ; maybe it's because well I don't know - I could'nt play my PSP or listen to music in class? The previous english teacher was better. Imagine a 60+ years old lady who can't even control a single person in the class : that'll be easy. I could slack and even play my PSP during lesson - but no more now. It's changed to a 30+ years old woman who will go all out to confiscate my PSP.

Anyway that's just the summery for the 1st week.

So what about today? Bummer. My tuition teacher can't make it - he SMSed that he's down with food poisoning. Oh well, so I had a slight change of plans. I MUST have him to come and the only way out was to try and get him to come tomorrow. Why would I want tuition when I can use that time playing or slacking, you ask? 'Cause I have an Addmaths test on Monday and I don't wish to fail. Simple as that.

Anyway, since my tuition teacher could'nt come, I had to change my plans. I had to wake up at 6.30AM tomorrow to attend the MapleSEA Triple Treats event at Suntec. So it's pretty late now.

I went to James kor house this afternoon too. That makes it my second guildmate house visit. The first was Louis kor, if you are wondering.

James kor house was the type of olden house - where the lift had only 3~5 buttons, at least his house was'nt THAT small. At least I learned he had a brother. Oh yes, while using his laptop, I went to a channel and found one. It was OFFICIALLY mine ^^v ! So I called some guild members down to help me down it. Yes, James kor was one of them.

He gave me a bowmaster 30k prepaid card ( used ) and a Maplestory poster calender. Thanks again, James kor !

On the way back I my throat acted uneasy again ( I had a sore throat for the past few days ) and went to buy myself a drink and some cough drops. So I told the shop keeper ( who was a woman in her 70's, by the way ) I wanted $1 of cough drops. She literally gave me the whole big packet ! Being a good sport, I gave some back to her and said " It's ok, that's more than enough. " I still have that bag of cough drops and it's not even 50% empty. The shop nearby my house sells the same cough drops for $20 for 1 piece. That lady gave me 15 pieces for $1. What a nice person.

Anyway, it's getting late now. I should be sleeping soon if I would want to wake up at 6.30 the next day. Oh and the most screwed up thing that spoiled my day ( and it's only 50 minutes passed Sunday ) was my MapleStory encountering an error that had me to deleat and reinstall MapleStory. Guess what? I deleated the game and I could'nt get it back. $(@*$*($* - Lesson learnt.

The first day of school in the 3rd semester...

It's all cool today I guess. The lesson's were not all that stressful, and it has been a pretty fast day.

For the record, I did not even touch MapleStory today, however I did surf some of my local forums.

Oh, and I'm going to try out something new on this blog : Video embedding.

Here goes :

Bleach Season 8 opening ( That princess arc filler thingy... )

Kelun - Chu-bura ( FULL )- MAN I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR WEEKS FOR THE FULL SONG AND I STILL CAN'T FIND IT UP TILL TODAY !



Bleach Season 8 ending

Lil'B - Orange ( FULL )



That's right. My love for J-pop/J-rock has been re-ignited. I'm planning to rebuild my J-pop list and send it to my PSP ; and I'm going to need a new ear piece <.<

It has been a short time...

To me at least ! 1 week just went by like that, but it's cool - I sure got some interesting things to talk about.

Monday Tuesday and Wednesday were BORING. Training my maple character - well at least until Wednesday my guild found out about the Jar quest glitching thingy where you could get 4% ~ 5% per Jar glitch.

On Thursday - It was not much of a different, only that there was a new episode of Bleach that day !

Friday was a memorable day. I reached till level 70 on my Dragon Knight on the Eridanus server - went out with a bunch of my friends to watch the movie Get Smart ( Boy,the movie was hilarious ! Don't worry there won't be any spoilers )...well actually one of them suggested to watch Don't mess with the Zohan but that show does'nt fancy me one bit. Maybe cause I'm more familiar with Get Smart. I used to watch the series.

Saturday was quite another memorable day. A new chapter of Bleach came out and other than that I forgot how I even spent my Saturday...I only know I had tuition which goes from 12PM-2PM that day and after 2PM I locked myself in the room and went on to Maple - and when I came out of my room it was already 6PM !

Sunday - which is today will be the most memorable day of the week. It's the last day of the Singapore secondary school holidays. That just sucks. It has to just spoils everything - but oh well. I shall not forget my ultimate goal in life - and thus I will bear with the fact that like it or not, I must go to school and do well academically for the major examinations. Oh and I went for a guild Krexel run today. I had to solo cause the other party's already full - but ah heck, at least it was fast and I got a share of the drops (66 reindeer milks !) Another guildmate got a Red Craven and a Blood dagger - which would be split among 3, me included.

Lastly - Happy 2nd birthday to my cousin, Samuel.

Alright then. I must say it's a very lengthy post - signin' off - Gene.
( Apologies I did'nt take any pictures of my spearman reaching level 70 or the guild Krexel thou, it was oh so lag. )

Saturday, June 14, 2008

Terribly sorry...

I've not been updating my blog these few days cause I'm really using all the time to grind Maplestory.

But relax - I'll post on an occasional routine once I reach level 70. I am currently level 51 and going strong !

Oh and there's a new chapter of Bleach Manga.
Deceptive Aizen.

Short and sweet.

Alright I'll summarize what happened for today :

Woke up at 10AM ( New Record ! )
And from then on it's just playing Maplestory I guess...I mean I lagged behind for 3 days and now - I'm back ^^

But that's just all - the usual routine.

P.S. - There's a new episode of Bleach tomorrow ! Hooray !

I'm back !

I'm back from my trip to Genting ! So sadly, I did'nt take any pictures back to show you guys :(

Heck - the trip was so-so. 6 hours trip - got 75RM every day from my parents and I only spent 100RM on stuff like the Arcade and LAN shop...oh and watching a movie AND a magic show there. ( If you wanna know, the show's name is [ The chronicles of Narnia : Prince Caspian ], for the magic show, it's [ Dreamz ] )

And guess what? I saw a genuine WHITE LION there. Right - a WHITE LION. First in the South East Asia - and it's from that Magic show.

Sadly, no pictures also.

Oh and there are two things I noticed about Genting :

The toilets were really...creative. When you enter the male's toilet, you can see stickers and advertisements written in highlighters on the wall, and guess what they are advertising? Sex.

Interesting way to promote business, in my HUMBLE opinion.

And the movie environment there has changed ALOT. It no longer used to be a messy stuffy place which films movie from a fake VCD.

The environment was MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH more better than I last visited some few years ago - and the movie was REALLY clear - not like the previous time which was obviously a pirated video.

The film [ The Chronicles of Narnia : Prince Caspian ] was ok I guess - I'll give a 6/10 if you did not watch the prequel [ The Chronicles of Narnia : The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe ] and a 8/10 if you watched the prequel - cause you'll understand more.

The film lasted 2hours and 15minutes approx. - and I'm VERY pleased with the graphics.

Final verdict? It's worth your money if you want a break from all these Iron-man and Incredible Hulk - or if you are those kind who are interested in Lore-Fantasy movies.

Anyway I can't explain much without pictures but hey - nothing really much changed since I last visited.

Gene is on vacation...

First and foremost I would like to apologize to my dear readers ( although I only mention my blogsite to a special few )for not updating my blog yesterday.

I had to struggle to keep myself awake till 2AM playing MapleStory ( and I made my target ! ) and my Father had to off the internet router cause I was pushing it.
Luckily he was too tired to give me any punishment or else I would'nt have been playing
Maple today ( or updating my blog today ^^ )

Anyway today was cool - staying at home with my computer again - and guess what? I am going to Malaysia ( Genting Highlands ) tomorrow ! Don't miss me ! ( On second thoughts, please, DO miss me. )

I'm going to get 200RM ( That's like 100SGD I guess, or somewhere around there. I'm not too familiar with the currency exchange matter. ), per day ( I'm only staying there for 3 days ^^ ) and I'll bring back some goodies ! ( At least I hope my camera's still working )

So here's guessing the next time I'll update on this would be Wednesday.

Roller-Coaster ride.

Sometimes, life is just ike a roller-coaster, like it was boring yesterday, but today was so spiced with life.

So I went to school as always and surprisingly I had a really easy Physics lesson.
Just a 10 minutes Physics lesson. We just had to take the worksheet and go home - but I stayed back a little and did some D&T work.

The good news? There is NO lesson tomorrow. Hooray.

The better news? I've reached my mark for the E world for today.

The best news? There's a new episode of Bleach !

Yup - I could almost wish the day would never end.

* Strangely, whenever the day would turn out to be a boring day, I would have loads to write on my blog. However when it is a good day, I wish I never even had a blog O_O ! *

Signing off- Gene. Hope you enjoy the day as much as I did.

Me and my computer

Today was SERIOUSLY boring - as always.

Went to school, had Addmath and Emath lessons, skipped D&T and came running home as there was a MapleSEA patch today.

Argh - I was so wrong. I had to used my trump card today (I told SOMEONE that I had to renew my passport today so that I could skip D&T) and hoping to download the new patch to explore the new " Eridanus " or " E-World " server and maybe even have a battle with Krexel ( a 1BILLION HP boss - Body guard 1 + Body guard 2 + Grandpa ( The Boss ) = 1 BILLION. )

Oh well - the average time, by James kor, to down BG 1 and BG 2 and Grandpa would be 1 hour for a not-so-perfect attacker party so I'm guessing the time to down Krexel would be approximately 30minutes-1 hour?

Anyway - I WAS SO WRONG. The patch was SUPPOSED to be finished at 10AM.
It was then extended to 1330 Hrs - And I was actually glad when I heard this, boy I was SO wrong.

Thinking that the patch would be ready by 1330 Hrs - I went to buy lunch - and yes, I had to rush to eat my food. What a waste. I came back and guess what the Forum Moderator posted?

** Please be informed that the game client patch will be extended to 1700 hrs (+8 GMT).

Pheoy - but I still have some time, so I went to play a round of DotA and some bossing on a Private Server. ( And still have time for finishing the remaining episodes of YuGiOh GX )

I came back to the forum at 1730 hrs - there was MASSIVE lag on the forums. I spent like 15 minutes to finally view the thread.

Utter disappointment - ** Please be informed that the game client patch will be extended to 2100 hrs (+8 GMT).

There. One whole day wasted waiting for the darn patch. I rushed back and skipped D&T
and now at 2230 hrs (+8 GMT), the patch's not even up.

--

I'll try to skip D&T ; AGAIN. Tomorrow.

A picture speaks a thousand words...

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


Well - it's not all bad...I went to a friend's house today...and...did some...scrolling...and...I FAILED 2 70%'S ON A NISROCK AND IT BOOMED !

Bleh ! However, I believe other's had worst experience - like another friend of mine got his THREE Dimond wand destroyed by the 30% Cursed scroll. Compared to him - I guess it's no big deal.

Then I went to ANOTHER friend house to share some wonderful cosplay pictures with him - you know, Japanese cosplay and all ? My love for Japan has increased yet again =O !

So we compared some Singapore people cosplaying and Japanese people cosplaying - although we are unmatchable to the Japanese, but still we did good. Made me realise Singapore ain't such a bad country too - it has (a little) hope from me now.

For the rest of the day it's just Papulatus Clock - man it was a RECORD I tell you - I survived the whole run without any DK or Healer - just me and a 14x Night lord. I can tell you the run was pretty fast indeed, although that ingrate looted all the items and ran away. Pfft - luckily there were no equipments or skillbooks, only potions, mesos and a Papulatus certificate.

After that run I had one more chance so I went in again and guess what? I disconnected. Not only me - the WHOLE game disconnected for a good 10 minutes. Way to go, Asiasoft. Let's look forward to another free 2 hours of x2 during the weekends.

And tomorrow, a new boss (and server) enters the game - Krexel. A 100million HP boss which has a speed of 100, a Magic attack similer to Zakum, a Weapon attack lower than Zakum and has a face nastier than Zakum. ( I mean - Zakum is just a piece of scrap rock to me, now )

Oh and long-awaited return of Captain Lantica - let's hope they don't buff him up, but I don't mind them nerfing him XD

Guess that's about all~ Signing off - Gene.

P.S. - MY BLOG NAME IS NOT STUPID - AND NEITHER MY BLOG NICKNAME IS. I am NOT emo. I just like the word " Emotional " cause it really feels like a complex word to me and " Feelings " cause I'm VVVVVVVEEEEEEEERRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY sensible to feelings. It's a choice of personal preference, really.

You live...and then you die.

That just goes to show that life is precious ; well, I don't wish to put another entry tagged as " Another boring day of my life " - so I'll do something different from now on, or else I'll bore my readers ( Whoopee ! I got readers now ~! )

Almost one week after the funeral on the void deck, here comes another one. My condolences to the family who lost their loved one - even though I don't know them <.<
It just goes to show that I'm/You're not the only one going on with life with the lost of your loved one, we just have to keep moving on I guess - life goes on - so yeah, life IS precious. Don't waste it -
spend SOME time with those that are still around. I did some cooking with my Grandma this
early evening ( well, I asked her to help me cook the egg ! ) ; Appreciate them.

Anyway I spent like 6 hours in school today - Maths, AddMaths, D&T - and it'll repeat all over again tomorrow. And on the weekend, Saturday ; I have AddMaths tution at 10AM-12AM ! And I have to RUSH down to Chinatown Atrium to take part with the other cosplayers ( I'm cosplaying as Hei from Darker Than Black )

Here's a picture of the suit ( Anime form ) :

I wore it a few times already though, and I'm going to wear it more often this time - I dream about wearing it to school too ! Yeah - call me an attention seeker - but that's my passion. It's my personal interest.

Anyway, since we are in the line of Anime, why not I show you some...posters ?

!! WARNING - What you are about to see may contain some vulgarities, ecchi and stuff like that - You have been warned. !!

AND I MEAN NO OFFENCE OR INSULT TO ANYBODY AND/OR EVERYBODY.

You gotta love this guy for making himself a phenomena on the Internet - but I won't go to the extend to say that he is a fool, I mean it takes BRAVERY and COURAGE to do that. Even I won't do it if you give me a hundred dollars, but I'll consider a million dollars ^_^

If you don't get what this means - It means he has ONE hit point left before he dies.

End of another weekend

Yup - that's it. That's how fast time flies; and tommorow, first lesson of the day : AddMaths - but I think it won't be so bad now, now that I have a private tuition teacher, I guess I'll score higher marks for my Prelims.

Anyway today was quite fine - Maplestory Private Servers all the way.

Can you believe it? I trained a level 13x Archmage and a 12x Dragon Knight ON THE SAME DAY.
Even legit can't do that. Oh yeah I sure made loads of friends on the Private server, plenty from North America, could you believe it? With the power of Internet these days - you could befriend someone living MILES and MILS away from you with just a click of a button.

The sad thing was - No Papulatus, no Zakum and no Pianus today. Shucks - no worries there's always tommorow.


Anyway what really made my day was James kor showing me what he did to the folder on one of the Private Server.

I mean - heal any monsters you like, perma slow the monsters you hit and even 15 hits on a magic claw. Sadly for privacy purposes, I can't show you the pictures.

And he did not use Cheat Engine or anything like that - he just modded the files in the folder.

So there you go - nothing special really - but oh there's this :
