OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHECK THIS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Index Finger pointing non-stop at the below video*




YET ANOTHER GAME WORTH WAITING FOR!!!!!




I'm so gonna upgrade my PC to be bestest.. well not really but enough to last me for a few games (hopefully FFXIV and D3). In fact, I may change my monitor that instead of using that 32" TV, I'll get a 21" monitor or something so that I can play comfortably and without straining my eyes. Oh well, that will only be achievable when my two sisters move out. Sigh.. or I'll have to rearrange my room. Gah!

Seeing that trailer reminded me of those times when Master Lil introduced me to that game and that we have lots of fun playing it, knowing great people while playing the game and being so close and all. I so missed all of it and I seriously can't wait to play with the old gang again. I wonder how much it is going to cost us though. :/

And before I end this post, I just wanna shout "HALO ODST IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".

Somehow I guess curiousity just got the hang of me. I was like "Why is everyone so into Halo? Is it really that fun?". And as I did not touch Halo at all since it's first release hence I am totally clueless about the characters, storyline, etc. The ONLY thing I know about Halo was that it's a first person shooter game (except for Halo Wars which is Real Time Strategy) and they'll move around in that armor of theirs and not forgetting that infamous helmet which kinda marks the game. SO, I asked Clifton to play co-op with me and I'm so hooked to the game. I quite like the storyline and yes, I was asking Clifton alot of questions about the game which I think are beginning to drive him up the wall. And I proudly declare that their OST are the GREATEST! Ima gonna buy their album if there's any available. I'm still not familar with the main characters name (that Sharon and Keith were discussing about with clifton) and also the main storyline. In fact, the armored guys reminded me of this novel that I'd just finished - Hellgate London's Templar knights. As in, they are both technology advanced.

I like the way the game actually shift you back and forth, playing the present and past, sort of getting some understanding on what had happened. Shooting is a breeze the moment you get the hang of it. You don't even need to hide or auto-aim function. The maps tend to be alittle confusing however that confusion will disappear once you learnt how to read it, maps will show the enemies nearby or if they are approaching you REAL TIME! It's a pity though that the gameplay is pretty short. I mean, if I'm to spend the whole day playing it, I'll finish it by the bedtime aka midnight. It so made me not wanting to complete it quickly so that I can still relish in the feeling, that Halo feel. I have placed Halo next to my favourite game next to Gears of Wars (I love that CHAINSAW! Gahahahahahah!!). *Rubbing hands gleefully*

Enjoy this game video bah! Halo~~~~~~~~~~~~ I WANNA GET THAT HELMET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Oh, and to those behind Games Trailers, YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *As if they'll see this but I still wanna say this!* I could almost drown myside in that sea of TRAILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GAMES TRAILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I realised something.. I'm not too sure if it's a good thing or a bad one.. but I found out that it was pretty easy to befriend me.. You just have to start off by saying that you LOVEs playing games. Is that good news or bad news? Hmm... I don't really fancy sports games but I guess Mr AY had rubbed some on me.. That American Football game, especially that win... LOL!! I still can't get it off my head!! I just wanna go ROFL man and tease Tuan about it but decided to spare that poor guy. Haha. I'm so looking forward to the rugby game this weekend! Hopefully it'll be quite similar to the one I'd saw on my bday. :/
It should also be the best time to try and listen hard and get use to Mr AY and Mr JC's australian accent so that if I EVER enroll into UC, I still can manage the Australian Lecturers' accents. Ahhh, so long never see Mr JC and Winnie (Her bubbly character can rub onto you lor)!


My Games Convention Asia sticker!



Quite like this song.

So many things happened and yet I'm feeling kinda lazy to update.

How about updating what's happening NOW?

I'd recently caught on the Dragonica bug and being playing (and for the first time with Clifton!) it for some time. So, while trying to play earlier with Clift, I tried to ping him online to find that my chat has been blocked, so while trying to fix that problem (I'm not the only one with that issue), I tried changing my screen mode to full mode - and I was successful. So, back to my chat block problem, it's still not resolved and I thought I should try to get out of the server and re-login again. End up... There were some error and was asked to try and reboot pc. So I did just that and still it cannot work! What I did next was to try uninstalling and reinstalling it. Login and it works and... I can't find my characters! That thought just put me off because I'll be too lazy to try and level the characters to that same level originally.

I spent the next 2hours searching through the bloody forums, trying to find that thread, to see if there's anyone who has experienced the same problem as I do. Then.... I found one and the reply to that thread was "did you log into the wrong server?", the it hit me. I went back trying to login and making sure that I was at the right server and <I>viola</i>! I saw my 2 tiny characters right infront of my eyes. Damn! If only I didn't itchy hand switch to full screen, all these wouldn't happen. Sigh.

I have some pictures that I'd wanted to upload into my blog initia but again, I'm just plain lazy to do anything right now. Shall forgo putting up that pictures.

Should I be glad that I'd attended the "Games Convention Asia" held at Suntec recently? It was quite disappointing to see that the only 2 sponsors from the "major" gaming industry was Xbox and Electronics Arts. My guess was because they have an operational base in Singapore? What about the rest? Oh well, SG is still too "young" for the gaming farm and the base here is still too small. There were some cosplay which I must put it straight forward-ly, sucks. Well, there's always room for improvement and it'll be unfair to them to be compared to Japan.

Had enrol Matty's photography skills when he's back in SG to take some pictures of SG cosplays. Heh.

Next was the shocked realisation that yesterday was the last day I'll be seeing father wong.. I'm off today and his tomorrow. :(
And it was the first time in 2yrs of working toether that we'll be separated. So sad!!!!

Yesss! I finally saw Mr AY last night! Kinda missed him!!!!!

Then Clifton and AY were talking about "VBOOM!". I was kinda lost till AY helped by mentioning about the upcoming Ms Singapore World. And all along I was still at the old Ms SG (the lady who studied in NUS or NTU, pretty and smart). So, this morning, Clifton start up his lappy and load the video clip in YouTube for my sake.

WATCH THE VIDEOS and hope your jaw will not go any lower than mine with disapproving head shake.

Does your mind thinks the same as mine?

- HOW the hell did the judges pick her?!?!?!?!?!?
- Why her England so good?
- Her fashionis... is very tastefully matched..
- Safari.. is she referring to the SG's or South Africa's?
- I still don't understand how.. why.... omg... *faint*
- Damn throw face.. where are all the SMART & PRETTY ONES? Oh right, and NON-BIMBOTIC girls?



Anyways, to side track so not to kill your appetite or to give you any nightmares..

Cosplay of ....


Did you scream? Or try to siffle it? I know you wanted to say it, "OMG!!! HE LOOKED SOOOOO LIKE CLOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". Yes.. I feel the same way too. BUT! It's just the clothes, props and the hair looked like Cloud. Just the upper half of his face looked like, however, it kinda spoils everything when your eyes drift down to his lips.. WASTED!

Sigh... I'd just finished watching the show "Gamer" and somehow I'm the only odd one who find the film quite good.. I mean, I like the way how gaming had evolved from virtual to reality. Think: Johnny Quest. Instead of you in the game, its another character and they are real! Its a negative film about gaming in a way but to me, its still nice.

So, now I'm on the way home, sitting at the rear of smelly bus and am sort of sandwiched between 2 smelly men. One whom opened his frikking legs really big (how inconsiderate) and can't stop scratching himself. I so wanted to get out and switch to a cab instead but I thought I'd bear with it and save the money..

Right eye still slightly swollen and hurts alittle. Sianz.

I had a rather filling after lunch snacks with dajie today. We headed to Marine Parade after doing our hair and dajie suddenly had this many cravings for Famous Amos cookies, Auntie Anne's, MacDonald's milkshake (which unfortunately only selected outlets have that), large fries and Long John Silver, which we bought all except for the latter. *Phew*

So, we were eating our fries as we made our way to NTUC. Bought plenty as usual and to be carried the both of us. This time, however, the taxi driver was kind enough to get out of his seat to help us transfer the goods into his car boot AND went to the extra mile of removing them from his boot. As our past experiences, they only waited for us to finish clearing his boot while they sat comfortably in their car. Sheesh! This kind uncle even said to becareful and asked us to take our time! How sweet of him. :D

--------------------------------------------------------

I'd been thinking about fb lately and wondered whether should I create an account so that I can keep in touch with some of my friends but the thought of many people, especially whom I'm not closed with request to add as a friend made me push that "create a fb a/c" away violently and ended up shuddering at that thought. Why? Because I do not wish to reject them yet neither do I want to add any friends whom I'm not close with in the first place. *sigh*

--------------------------------------------------------

Guess I should just finish this last piece of post up before I goes in ZZ land. Father Wong was just telling about this new course available in NYP, something that is related to gaming. I went to check out the modules offered and then I was thinking, whether should I take up that course. And of course, one thought will lead to another and another and it'll goes on and on. So, I pictured myself taking another diploma again and this time, with a class of students who were at least 10years my junior? And should I waste another 3years of my life taking that certificate when I can take up something of a higher qualifications and have my options opened up wider? And that leads to, with my age for now and by the time I'd graduate with a Degree (for example) and to go for an interview, applying for a job where I totally have no experienced in, and if the interviewer asked "So, what have you been doing before this?" and my answer shall be.... That's where reality hits me. I'm not longer young and what have I been doing with my life all these while?

So I went from with a goal in mind to none at all now. Yes, just like before, whatever I had set in life was erased once again. It's about time to rethink.

And to start not being lazy and to be sociable, to try to strike a conversation with the people in the room, whether am I comfortable or not. To read more about the current affairs and widen my knowledge (how?). Yea, it sounds like a good start but I'm just lazy and these require some brain cells - which were stored in some corners.
*Looks around in brain and started having a coughing fit from all the dust that had settled there and not forgetting the spider webs. Ok, spring cleaning another time.*

Omg, it must have been ages since I last set my foot on orchard. I was supposed to meet jiawei and annkia at orchard mrt station yesterday and I was kinda stunned to see the new exit.. And what faces me was ION Orchard. We decided to have our dinner there since its a new mall. The place is really big and the toilets are comparable to some hotels (similar to the ones at Fullerton hotel). We didn't really explore the whole place since our main purpose was to get baby presents for Siok Wah's little girl - which we decided to get her a red packet. As we made our way from ION to Wisma Atria, there was this corridor that leads to WA, that was the "jewellery street". A lot of jewellery shops! Shall find a day where its not so crowded, take some pics and post it up here for some who have lost touch with the city..
