This is a long overdue post!!
Thursday, June 29, 2006
The last 1 week was rather hectic.. coz it's Choosing-Freshies-Week! Was really happy with the choices actually.. got almost all that we wanted.. and of course the admin of squeezing ppl through Masters List.. Waiting List.. compiling contacts.. emailing freshies.. emailing seniors.. organising meetings.. blah blah blah..
Ok let's get on with the backdated events...
2xp card
Think it's about a 2 weeks now since I bought my Maple 2XP card.. yea it's a $15 dollar patch where you I get double the experience points for all the monsters that I kill.. and it has become more of a dread than fun.. like I spend all my time trying to level up than doing quests and exploring around blah blah blah it's getting quite boring.. esp so when I have to train alone coz my training buddy kills fire boars better while I kill undeads better.. Oh well.. so I was going at about 1 level a day till now I'm Level 42.. a long way from my 3rd Job at level 70
(Sorry for all the maple talk)
But yea.. I want to hit 70 before flying off.. but it's getting rather impossible now I guess.. with rag dance kicking in everyday.. it ends at 10pm so after slacking around I reach home at around midnight daily.. can't play long coz the next day gotta work.. ya so my life has been rather monotonously boring for the past few days.. (7am) wake up for work-->(7pm)Rag dance-->(12am)Maple-->(2am)Other admin-->Sleep-->(7am)wake up for work....
I want to quit my horrandously boring job.. just that I sorta signed a contract to work till end of july.. but there was the if-want-to-quit-must-inform-2-weeks-in-advance clause.. oh well.. shall talk to my boss on Mon
Wedding!
W and CT got married! In MapleStory at least.. oh it was a sweet thing.. hah though it's really only virtual.. and only another way for AsiaSoft to earn bucks.. but it was a great gathering time for everybody and look man.. there's even like a chinese wedding banquet restaurant for the event!
Aint this sweet? So many people attended the wedding! Feels almost like the real thing... 
Mapling Shearites! Jeyee, Summer, Suzy (Szeyi), Phoebe (Ruoling), Kenny, Junsheng, Me, Weijie and of course.. the 2 lovebirds..
It feels like almost the real thing.. guess it's a prelude to really getting married.. hurhur *wink*
Organising stuff
That was the week where there were millions of gatherings to be organised.. somehow I wonder why they all came around the same time.. and it didn't help that I only had weekends to slot these activities.. considering that most would be working on weekdays..
Kena arrowed somehow by Ravern haha to organise AOCC gathering.. then there was Weijie's birthday plans (we actually tried to plan something but couldn't decide on what to do in the end.. so there wasn't anything grand.. so in essence.. Weijie planned his own birthday dinner at Brewerks.. where I spent $70 on beer and food.. and gained 1 kg the next morning).. and tried to organise a Block D batch outing...
Haven't mastered the art of organising events though.. coz pple take you for granted.. they don't reply.. they expect you to know whether they are by-default-coming or by-default-notcoming.. haha.. retribution I guess.. coz.. I'm also guilty of all these practices hehe..
- Email sucks. Yea.. it either ends up in the junk mail folder or is left rotting in the Inbox as pple read once and forget about it. Though there's this cool website at http://www.einvite.com which helps organise events.. it's hardly helpful coz no one visits it.
- SMS sucks less.. but is expensive. At least people do reply.. of course there are those that don't... these people suck.. coz at least I bothered to waste 5cents messaging you can you please reply? It's the Theory of Mass SMSes.. you think I won't know if you don't reply coz it's a mass message right? THe truth is.. I KNOW. People only reply to personalised SMSes.. that start with their name for example.. *slap them*
- If you don't wanna come, don't paiseh, just say. Crap excuses like see-who-going-1st = not-coming. And why the hell should it be see-who-going-1st? Shouldn't it be lemme-get-pple-to-go-with-me?
Oh well.. if any one has better luck/skill in this area.. please teach me a trick or two.. but er.. I would avoid organising events from now on.. more so after I step down. =)
AOCC Gathering
Somehow being the person years ago to gather contacts and send the 1st email to everyone made be the perfect target to arrow to gather pple for a gathering.. it was a great idea to meet up.. but not at the expense of the organisers woes as described above.. to make things worse.. most of us lost contact..
Oh well.. but the gathering was a nice one anyway.. caught up with all the buddies that had gone on to NUS.. NTU.. overseas.. Melvin's getting married in November.. almost everyone drove to Jianwen's place.. Alex was still the devil.. telling us about his trips to lasupKTV blahblahblah.. we cracked the same old jokes about MAJ Victor and Kelvin Bong and his swayness... about instructors.. Unit life.. and of course.. a new topic that emerged was certainly about ICT...
A short gathering.. but it certainly brought back many memories.
Once Armour Always Armour
I guess if we were to meet up every year it would be the same topics and same jokes year after year.. but hey.. some legends like MAJ Victor's jumping jacks and Bongs birdshit-on-nose should never be forgotton... hehe..
IPPT
I'm going to take it on 29th July morning.. thinking that I should take it before I go overseas.. coz when I come back I'll definitely be fat like crazy and would probably fail.. but the thing is.. I still have to take IPPT after I come back coz it'll be past my birthday..
So.. I booked IPPT for nothing.
Which means to make the best out of it I should train up to get the $400 rite?
But with rag dance everyday.. where got time to train?
Hope dance helps.
Money Woes
I've been spending lots lots lots recently.. on silly things like taking taxi to work coz I dillydally too much in the morn (should stop these now that cab fares are rising).. to more meals outside now that I don't have dinner at home.. to spending close to $200 on both my parent's birthday dinners and cakes recently.. and the humble ol' EZ Link ain't merciful either.. think I spend like $20 a week on bus/MRT.. which is $100 a month!
And I want to spend more! I want to buy my iPod.. with the camera connector.. I want to upgrade my laptop memory.. I want the Imation 2GB thumbdrive.. I need new spectacles.. I need a new watch.. I have to pay for hall stay (if I manage to hijack Kayping's room) myself.. and I'M GOING OVERSEAS!!! And when I come back I'll need to buy new shows.. I want to buy a Pocket PC to replace my mysteriously missing Palmtop.. I need a bicycle to travel to school now that I'm hall-less........
