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...

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? If I die, will anyone take care of my Pokemon? (HAHAHA jk) But I kept telling myself, if I don't seek to improve myself, I'll be letting my medical condition burden me forever. 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.. It started to drizzle a bit, but it died down soon after that so I'm pretty thankful. 20 minutes of waiting passed really quickly and s...

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. ):

Taking the graveyard shift at work (11pm to 7am) for the very first time today.. I don't think I'm ready for it, and I'm also going out early in the morning on Monday so I think I'm pretty screwed. But I've went to work without sleep for a day before so.. I guess I can make it.. (not considering the fact that I almost fell asleep while standing still) Anyways, it's my manager Jason's last day at the AMK Hub branch today. I'm actually pretty sad cuz I didn't get to send him off or something.. It's gonna be different at work without him. No one's gonna.. - Say about how slow I work - Scold me when I'm not doing something appropriate - Pronounce my name wrongly multiple times - Beat me in Scramble (okay, it's still going to happen) But I personally think, it's all the shit that I went through that makes me a better person altogether. My time here may be short, but you've been a good mentor and an inspiration. Good...

"Annual branch dinner", or whatever you call it, yesterday. Good food, good mates, and good drinks. BAM. The picture above is the ONLY picture in which I do not look: - Red-faced - Like a maniac - Like I'm trying to cover my face 90% of the time A good time to just unwind and chill out after "working so hard" for "a year".. HAHA Okay nothing much to say about this. MY LIFE IS JUST THAT BORING. Went home, had difficulties sleeping because of headache, woke up at 2am with more headache, and unknowingly fell asleep. Almost late for work the next day (today), my grandma had to wake me up =_= And I can't believe, I CAN'T BELIEVE what crossed my mind at work yesterday. My manager was telling me about coming back to Fairprice after NS as a team leader, and went on explaining about many of the benefits. Although the basic pay is little, if my performance was good, I can easily get 5 months worth of bonuses. Sounds a little too goo...

I've figured something out. Since I'm such a "shameless" Nerf blaster collector, instead of just keeping them for fuck's sake, why not I do a little review about them? Let's just start with blasters that you guys MAY probably buy because of it's price. A measly $9.90.. The Nerf Reflex IX-1. At first glance, it sure looks like a little nugget-like pistol for babies. But that's where you are wrong. PACKAGING STATES IT'S FOR AGES 8 AND ABOVE. Okay, still baby-ish.. nvm let's get to the point. ): The blaster's really "chunky" for something of it's size, but it has a very nice feel when gripping it. Albeit the size of the grip.. Your hand is probably a little too big for it. Actually, even 8 year olds WILL have a spare pinky hanging when holding it. Other than that, not much problems ergonomic-wise. It can fit into most pockets without problems, so it can be a really effective quickdraw blaster :) Firing the thing i...

Was at Aloha Changi chalet the past 3 days with my poly mates. Since this was "a little" last minute, not a lot of people turned up, but nonetheless we had lots of fun. As you can see from the picture below, the chalet is actually kinda.. old and run-down, there were mosquitoes everywhere and there was even (a little out of topic) a limit imposed on how long you can use the air-con. There are extra charges if you exceed the limits. Cheapskate as fuck. But on the other hand, the chalet had A LOT of space, effectively 4x bigger than the 1 room chalet at Coasta Sands I used to squeeze in. But we ended up using one room for the games anyway because of the shitty air-con shit. We can't live without air-con. Okay so first night. As usual, we drank. Martell, proudly sponsored (gotta return the favour sometime) by Zhikuang. (There was Vodka too) Surprisingly, I didn't puke OR get drunk, I was all high. Which is considered a pretty great achievement given that I u...
