For the past 3 years I've been very much the homebody. Rarely going out and even then reluctantly. This is mainly because of Vesper. If I go out, I can't talk to him. End of story.
But of late my job has had me jet-setting off to Kota Kinabalu, formal evening dinners in KL, and tonight it was the TMnet HotSpot Street Party at Bangsar Village. Slogan for the event? "The Hottest Spot in town just got Hotter" *rolls eyes*
Me: Mom... I can't come home for dinner tonight. I have to go to a Street party in Bangsar.
Mom: WHOA! What for??
Me: Work? It's TMnet's party - advertiser.
Mom: *starts laughing*
Me: What?
Mom: *gasps* You.. you.. have a.. LIFE... now... *giggles*..
Me: It's not a life, it's my JOB
Mom: Yes... in spite.. of yourself... *sniggers* you.. have a LIFE!

The landscape of Rose : the first planet
Some interesting places in ROSE... I really like the graphics they use for this game, especially the leaves on the trees (of all the odd things to like). You could spend hours just walking through and exploring the land they created. Even with the cartoony graphics it still works... I'm amazed at the quality of the world they have produced.

Wheeeeeee!!!!!
Was debating whether or not to blog this and brag to the whole wide world...
Ah well debating's over, I'm going to milk this for all its worth!

Fucking real estate agent
I tramped around the city for three weeks looking for a place to stay and finally found one that I liked and was within my budget : submitted my forms and faxed them the documents a week ago, received confirmation emails and confirmation fax receipts, but whenever I called them they said it was "still being processed" and then today I get told "we never got your application".
And someone applied for the property today, and technically, they get priority over me. >_< That was what the piece of shit agent told me.
I was supposed to get the keys to my property early this week according to the staff at the agency : well in 2 days my current lease ends and I don't have any where to live. It took me 3 weeks to find this place : I doubt I can find anywhere near as affordable or livable as that in a mere couple of days.
Fuck that. I feel like just going, fuck, I'll just go rent a nice place and who cares about the money since my parents will be paying for whatever I am spending at the moment since I don't even have a job yet.

Handbag of Glory
This is an incredibly cute idea from Edward Monkton:
And according to Bagcrazy, while I don't actually own THE REAL handbag of glory...
And according to Bagcrazy, while I don't actually own THE REAL handbag of glory...
"This is a stunning 30cm porosus crocodile Birkin, adorned with 18 karat gold hardware and nearly 10 carats of pavè diamonds. The cost of this sublime creation? A cool $49,999, plus $100 shipping."
I do own its close twin, just much cheaper:

Keyboard Confusion
The wretched Mac keyboards used in my office are subtly different from the regular PC ones. SO subtly different I didn't notice precisely what it was for over a month and was wondering if I was losing the ability to fast type.
Everytime I placed my hands on the keyboard without looking, I'd type complete and utter gibbyerish. Then I'd stare at my hands bewilderedly and wonder WHY this was happening. I look carefully at the keyboard, and it's a QWERTY board, no reason for this. So I align my hands meticulously and type flawlessly. And then the next time I take my hands off the keyboard and replace them without the meticulous alignment.... gibberish happens again.
Then today I discovered THE TRUTH.
Regular PC keyboards have a raised line on the 'f' and 'j' keys on which you place your index fingers. I instinctively aling my index fingers with these lines.
Mac keyboards have the lines on the 'd' and 'k' keys.

"Lunar Silver Star Story"
This is an RPG which I have never played but... I really like one or two songs from it. They're excellent evocative songs, is the best I can say. The main theme "Lunar Boat Song" feels sad and wistful, yet a key change midway through colours some hope into it.
"Wings of Hope" is quite aptly named, heh, because this short little piece gives you the feeling of flying and soaring in the sky by the end of the song. It goes "when everything is pinned on a hope" and has a tension holding key change (7th major I think my theory is rusty) go off on "hope" and ends with "only when two, brilliantly shine, as, one".

Cowgirl Anyone? (also RoSe)
Of course being a bit fed up with my uncool character I went and made a female archer. Focusing entirely on attack enhancing abilities, and all the money being spent on cool looking clothes.
But yeah... damn... sexy cowgirl look... ^_^
When they call the game Rush On Seven Episodes (ROSE) they're not kidding, the levelling system is very fast and rewarding, but I hear there are going to be more than 200 levels your character can obtain. After all, the story spans 7 planets (episodes) and players have already hit level 99 even though only 1 planet is fully completed.
Look it up at www.roseon.com if you are interested.

Rush Of Seven Episodes
ROSE stands for Rush Of Seven Episodes and it's created by the same makers of Ragnarok Online. Graphics are overly bright and cartoonish, like Gunbound, but I really like the look : I'm not really a fan of games that try to achieve realistic graphics anyway. Pictured here is me on the left, and my friend on the right (she's really a she, unlike most of the girls in the game hehe). I'm a trader / craftsman and I use a pistol to hunt : my friend Xany uses a bow. Oh man she looks so much cooler than me.
By the way I am wearing insect wings on my back to help me run faster. My character moves so slowly (is my common gripe in the game : the higher dex classes like the hunters / spellcasters run so quick). The game is free right now : it's in the open beta stage.
