Bon Voyage...

As I start type this entry, I couldn't help but be reminded of [Takagi Fujimaru] from the [Bloody Monday] drama... How the hackers could simply type non-stop to hack into wherever they like as long as they're up to the challenge...

Well, the marvelling of the hackers only lasted for a few milliseconds... The marvel @ how good looking [Takagi] is though, is much longer though I've to admit tt I'm not as crazy as I was in the past to actually DL all the pics of him to occupy the 500GB of hard disk space tt I have...

Let's start this off with something interesting... Apparently, my colleagues @ work are all into goofing around, as the pic below suggest...

Shi Hao (69) [Agnes] could consider an alternative job as a tattoo designer... LOL... =D

Yeah, maybe tt'll lighten the mood a little before I dwell onto something tt's a little emo-ish...

My sis has left for [Korea] yesterday for her cultural exchange programme... I won't be seeing her for the next 3 wks and I sure as hell hope tt the least she could do is to update her FB profile so tt when I'm on my stalking routine, I'll be able to keep up to date on what's happening...

Or maybe when she's using her iTouch and there's wifi, she could @ least use the [IM+ Lite] app to get onto [MSN] so tt we can chat...

*Sigh* The house's gonna be rather quiet for the next 3 wks... And as I'm blogging abt yesterday's trip to the airport, gah, there's this strange feeling in my chest... Is it me missing her already???

Sis (17) While @ the airport, we did a lot of photo-taking but this is the best of all... [Sis] brought her soft toy along so tt she could hug it while sleeping... HAHA!!! =D

It's been quite a while since I've actually been to the airport, unlike [K] who told me tt he actually goes there like on a weekly basis for [TCC] because it's only a 15 mins bus ride from his house... Zzz... -_-"'

Well, I've decided to head over to the airport 1 day just to take a walk around there to marvel @ the design of the new [T3], peek @ all the shops there and if there's still time, perhaps head over to [T2] to ppl watch while sip some delicious ice-blended mocha from [The Coffee Bean]...

Secret Recipe Or rather, head over to [Secret Recipe] for their cheesecake...

New York Cheese Grilled Chicken Baked Rice The 2 items tt I had for dinner yesterday... Again, it's only after I took a bite of the cheesecake tt I remember tt I should've took a pic of it 1st before indulging in it... Haiz... -_-

Candy Empire The most sinful place is just staring right @ me opposite from where I'm sitting!!!




What has kept me entertained in the past 5 yrs ago has still kept me entertained 5 yrs later... [MapleStory] is already 5 yrs old and I'm still not sick of it despite lacking the time to really play for long hrs on end or the fact tt my main character has already been hacked once...

With the introduction of the new character: [Evan: Dragon Master], how could I ever get bored with it??? So, I got myself sucked into the work of [MapleStory] again by creating [Evan] on another server... Boy am i greeted with tons of changes...

Crying Blue Mushroom Crying Blue Mushroom (2) For some reason, some of the [Blue Mushrooms] have started crying...

xIcEFoRcEx (6) xIcEFoRcEx (9) [Evan: Dragon Master]... The dragon's kinda cute only @ lower levels... Kinda of a pity though... =S

Furthermore, [Evan: Dragon Master] is indeed a tough hero to play as the character is similar in terms of stats requirements for the [Magician] class, except tt [Evan] lacks the skill [Increase MP Recovery], which means tt [Evan] will be stuck with a MP regen rate of 0.3 MP/s... Furthermore, in order to learn all the skills, it's a must to complete the [Evan]'s quest as those will reward you with 1SP for every quest completed.... Haha... I guess tt's some form of incentives for you to do quests instead of just senselessly wacking the cute monsters...

Oh, and [MS] is having celebrating it's 5th anniversary with some wacky drops tt can transform you to some random NPC or monster...

xIcEFoRcEx xIcEFoRcEx (2) Gawd ugly penguin... Zzz... -_-"'

xIcEFoRcEx (8) Now I'm a [Ribbon Pig] instead!!!

xIcEFoRcEx (7) *Poof* I'm now the NPC [Utah]...

And the next few shots are my personal fav...

xIcEFoRcEx (3) xIcEFoRcEx (5) xIcEFoRcEx (4) [Orange Mushroom]!!!

xIcEFoRcEx (12) [Orange Mushroom] squatting down...

xIcEFoRcEx (13) And climbing a rope... HAHA!!! Wonder how it can do tt when it doesn't have hands... =P

Mano For quite some time now, [MS] has also introduced various mini-boss monsters and here's [Mano], the king of snails...

After defeating it and obtained the [Rainbow Colour Snail Shell] and upon noticed tt it's a usable item, I've decided to double-click on it to see it effects...

*POOF*

xIcEFoRcEx (10) xIcEFoRcEx (11) Now I've transformed into a [Red Snail] tt's capable of jumping!!! ROFLMAO!!! =D

Fatigue...

I didn't really keep track, but I do believe tt it has indeed been more than 2 wks since I've last done any blogging... Really, ever since I've started working, not only does time seems to fly extreme fast, but I've also been extremely tired... It's like the work is some sorta energy black hole... Even though all I only do is to sit around staring @ the com and answering phone calls, I absolutely feel like crap every time I'm back home...

Spending 1 hr on managing all my [FB] games is all I can manage before I couldn't take it anymore and hit the sacks...

Okay, perhaps I should back track a little... I did took up [SH]'s offer to work @ [Diners' Club (Singapore)] and it has been 3 wks already... And I used to think tt answering customers' queries over the phone requires tons of flexibility, with different ppl calling in... Yet after this short exp, I've come to realised tt the job is quite repetitive nonetheless and I'm using this as a form of motivation... LOL... Yeah, repetition and not much changes motivates me... The added bonus is tt all my interaction with the customers are over the phone, which is even better as I don't have to meet anyone @ all and frankly speaking, I'm more comfortable tt way...

Anyway, just barely 2 wks into my new job, I tio-ed the office infamous 'donut'...

Donut Attack Vandalism!!!

Just kidding... It's punishment for not locking my com when I left the office... And the infamous donut implies tt you've to treat everyone in the office to some sort of edible item... Luckily, I don't have to do the treating immediately and to date, there're like 7 ppl sharing the burden... Which is good as I've been overspending lately...

Well, I can understand the reason for this interesting way of reminding ppl to lock their coms for security reasons... Besides, after tt 1 lesson, I'm more cautious and it's a good thing tt when I was still in the [SAF], I was also trained, in some sense, to lock my com whenever I've to leave my desk... ^_^

Koi Cafe After work, it's time to enjoy a little of the famous [Koi] bubble tea... Well, I didn't enjoy it, I was just accompanying the buyer and decided to snap a shot...

Oh, with [SH] around, work is never boring...
Shi Hao (65)

Shi Hao (66) Mind you, this isn't even a tie... Apparently, [SH] decided tt the ribbon on the box of cake could be better used as a fashion accessory... -_-"'

Anyway, on [Vesak Day], [The Gang] decided to meet up since it's a public hol and most of us were free... So we decided to head to the [Helix Bridge] for some sight seeing machiam like tourists like tt... Just w/o the tour guide holding a flag and straw hats... HAHA... =P

We were supposed to meet @ 1200 hrs, [JE] stn, but the organizer A.K.A [MJ], actually overslept because her phone bat died, resulting in her alarm clock not going off... As a result, we were delayed...

Shi Hao (67) No prize as to why [SH] is looking like this...

Friends (203) Evidence tt [MJ] seriously just woke up... LOL!!! =P

Time for me to lv. up my photo-taking ability...!!!

While walking towards the [Helix Bridge]...

Singapore Flyer Singapore Flyer (3) Singapore Flyer (2) Marina Bay Sands Marina Bay Sands (7) Marina Bay Sands (2)

I guess the shape of the DNA is so much nicer when it's on my notes... After looking @ the bridge, I can only see spirals... Now, tt can hardly be 'DNA-inspired', right???

Marina Bay Sands (4) Marina Bay Sands (3) Yep, just spirals...

The only indication tt it's truly inspired by the [DNA] can only be seen when you're walking through it and saw the following...

Marina Bay Sands (6) Marina Bay Sands (5)

And I think tt if I actually took the time to observe the whole spiral, I should be able to identify the 4 molecules... Haha... =D

After spending some time taking jump shots and cam-whoring along the bridge, we decided to head to the casino and hotel to have a look...

There wasn't much @ the casino, so we decided to head over to the hotel and kpo a little...

Marina Bay Sands (13) Marina Bay Sands (12)

Marina Bay Sands (!1) Very HDB-ish hor???

After all the walking abt, [SH] decided to head down to town to hunt for his original DVD and so we headed to [Borders]... He couldn't find his DVD while I ended up spending $24.90 on [Sherlock Holmes]... Haha... And just before we actually left the bookstore, we uncovered this shocking sight...

Borders (3)

In the movies section, 1 lone cardboard box actually contained...

Borders (2)

Now zooming in...

Borders YES~!!! CONDOMS!!! WTH LA!!! -_-"'

Well, tt's for [Vesak Day]... The following day, I actually went out again... This time, it's to meet up with [YH], [Bec] and [SL] @ [Minds Cafe]...

Minds Cafe

We have to eat 1st to get the energy for gaming... So I ordered [Cheesy Fish & Chips]...

Me (108) Cheesy Fish & Chips But it turned out not to be very cheesy, as compared to what I've tried @ [Fish & Co]... Well, @ least the serving's decent for $6.50

Ying Hui (27) YH & Bec (11) YH & Bec (10)

Soon Leng (14) [SL]'s happy smirk as he won 1 round of [UglyDolls]... =D

Me (111) Me (110) I've decided to do a little bit of cam-whoring after all... LOL!!! ^_^

Well, it was a good experience and I do feel tt [Minds Cafe] actually offer better deals as compared to [Settlers' Cafe]... On weekdays, 4 hrs of gaming only cost $5 and tt includes free flow of drinks... If you wanna eat a proper meal, it'll cost an additional $6.50... On weekends, the 4 hrs of gaming and free flow of drinks cost $10... The pt is, a meal is provided!!!

Well, I'll just remember not to take the circle line from [Bishan] the next time I actually decided to head there again... Tt train ride takes wayyyyy too much time!!! -_-"'
