Was meaning to post this earlier when the restructuring was done but some internet troubles got to me and I haven’t been able to. Anyway, I have renamed categories so they are more accurate, shifted posts around in them, added and changed the tags and finally, added ‘tags’ navigation to the side menu.
So if anyone have set a category archive page or tag archive page as favorite/bookmark (I don’t know if people will do that, actually), I’m terribly sorry for the inconvenience. Hope this makes surfing the site or finding stuff easier. ^^
Following up on the “League of Legends Southeast Asia” news, my sister reported today that she can (finally) not access the North America League of Legends server now. Yes, it meant that while the official news and email from Riot Games said that the IP block will be in place sometime late February, my sister (and a number of players, according to the LOL forum) was still able to access the server, until today.
I was randomly browsing the internet today when I spotted this game “Prius Online” (used to be Anima Online) on a blog. I checked out youtube to find out how it looks like. What got my interest right off is the graphics, which reminded me a little of Granado Espada (which I don’t play anymore, sadly). Then I saw the adorable little girl character.
My first thought was “Lolita!” After checking out some comments, it seems I’m not the only one who felt that way.
Forum member “Chaosfingers” posted a funny take on the announcement of “League of Legends Southeast Asia version”. This little gem is buried in the 69th page of the Southeast Asia megathread in the LOL forum (which is 70+ pages long right now). It’s a bit of a parody, but Chaosfingers hit the reactions to the news spot on.
Here’s what was posted, and needless to say, this did/does/will not happen in real life.
My sister received an email about it and while it is expected that a SEA publisher will take the game, some part of the news came as a surprise and caused an uproar with the SEAsian LOL players.
Official News: Riot Signs a League of Legends Publisher in Southeast Asia
Yesterday, I went shopping with my mum and sister for the upcoming Chinese New Year and somehow, we went to the newly launched Orchard Central shopping mall. Originally we went there in search for Fruit Paradise, a shop selling fruit tarts which has an outlet in Tampines One that we frequent. The plan was to find it, eat a slice of fruit tart or two, before we continue with our shopping.
Then, we spotted a shop, called Jewels artisan chocolate (facebook).
When I was younger, still in secondary school some nine years ago, I wondered why books cannot be in a digital format and we will be able to carry them in lightweight handheld book sized devices. How nice will it be, if all textbooks, homework and notes can be contained within it so all we have to carry about is that one device, and we can stop killing trees too. Best is if we can write directly on it, that would be even more convenient.
I saw a notice on UniSIM about being volunteer for this and I’m wondering if I should join. Especially since I’m not working now. And this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, to help out in such a big event.
It probably will affect my job seeking for this year and while I’m not in a hurry to start working again, my school fees won’t exactly pay for themselves. Decisions decisions. Hmm.
Decided to spend some time on this blog and made a few changes I’ve been wanting to. I was browsing for another theme but at the end, I still like this one (Color Paper) best, despite some of the issues that ticked me off occasionally.
I addressed some of them today and it’s much more to my satisfaction now. Though it seems I may want to style the Search box as well.
Played Fiesta Online for a bit earlier and 9 man Robo KQ with only 1 cleric (my level 34 one), 3 fighters, 1 archer and rest mages succeeded! Robo was not killed, but everyone was alive and well at the end!
Robo KQ (Kingdom Quest) is not easy to succeed, and even all that time I played it with my mage, less than half of the KQs succeeded and Robo was only killed a dozen or so times. The reason we succeeded for this is because everyone knew to do their part, and our fighters are strong enough to take the damage, especially when I can’t get my heals in fast enough. This is the reason I love KQs. <3
Due to certain reasons, company had to let go of a number of people and thus I’m unemployed now. To say it’s not a shock to me is lying, especially with how sudden it is, especially with the number of people whom I’m closer to who were also affected, and I am still coming to terms with it. To suddenly become unemployed without warning is quite an experience, I’ll say. One I will never ever want to experience again.
