MapleStory Season 2: Not so impressive after all

Image
Hi guys. For those of you who are thinking of going back to Mapling for the "brand new season", I hope my little write-up coming up will keep you a little more informed of what's happening, before using up an hour to re-download the game. So.. The long awaited MapleStory Season 2. tbh, I actually stayed up till 12am on the release date to patch my current version, but the auto-patcher screwed up and.. I ended up playing the next day anyway(patcher screwed up after a delay of 4.5 hours for the server maintenance). After I logged in, there wasn't much of a change in the menu.. And a few minutes into the game, I realised that there wasn't MUCH OF A CHANGE AT ALL (visually). Some notable in-game changes: - Job advancement level changes (60 for 3rd job, 100 for 4th job) - Secondary stat requirement for all equipments removed - Major skill reorganisation - Item drop rate adjusted, to sky high levels - Item selling rate to NPCs reduces drastically - NPCs n...

RUN 350: A brand new experience.

Woke up at 4am in the morning today for the annual RUN350 10km event, with Mingwei. This being my very first running event, I was reluctant to sign up for it (at first), and was rather nervous when the day of the run was approaching. What if I get an asthma attack?

So I took this challenge. 10km may not seem like much, but it's actually quite a big step I'll be taking :) Took the shuttle bus from Yishun to the Esplanade and CBD area. The morning breeze at that area was indeed refreshing :) We went to queue up at the starting line a little earlier, but I guess it's worth it, only to see the few thousands of people gathering behind us..

Timetable for the upcoming semester (click for a bigger image). New semester, new beginning. ENROLLED IN MY 5TH 'IS' ELECTIVE CHOICE. First was basic conversational Korean, second was basic conversational Japanese, third was MAN AND MACHINES, fourth was basic conversational French and finally.. Basic conversational SPANISH . I can't believe that I can't even enrol in an elective like "Man and Machines", where you literally just build robots using lego and program them to do stuff. But hearing that again, it actually sounds like an elective many engineering dudes will go for. BUT REALLY, 5TH CHOICE? NP WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME? Hope Spanish turns out fun, really. ):
