Wanna sound like a pro-gamer? Ever have problems deciphering what the people around you are saying? Its time for...Gaming Lingo 101!
Our word for today is
FTW. It is the palindrome of one of the most commonly used net-words WTF, but no, it doesn't mean f*** the what (censored due to the viewership of certain 20 yr olds XD).
This slightly vulgar looking abbreviation actually means....*drumroll*
FOR THE WIN!
Still unsure? Lets have a few examples to make things clearer for you.
conversation 1:
Gamer A: Wa this dungeon got a lot of monsters leh...
Gamer B: Blast them with an aoe spell ftw!!
*aoe = area of effect.
conversation 2:
Gamer A: Kill that mob ftw!!
Gamer B: Dun wan la...Kena lag will ftl la...
Thank you very much for tuning in to another lesson of Gaming Lingo 101. See you next time fellow gamers and gamers-wannabes!
...yes I'm feeling very bored that's why I came up with such a crappy post. Hahahaha XD

Another week has passed and another one is about to began. Life feels so routine again. I feel kinda numb, yet calm, inside doing the same things over and over again. There's a certain peacefulness in it all and I suppose its helping to keep me sane. Hahahaha wa man hope I don't sound too emo.
Most of the week was spent going to school and doing my club stuffs. My key is still with Edison, so many a times, I was stuck waiting outside the clubroom for someone to help me open it. Somehow someone always shows up eventually, so things still work out in the end.
Met up with my army buddies on Saturday. Bob helped to organise the get together dinner at Thai Express and even our PC Soh came down too. Our dear Tan Keng Tiong was the one who initiated it actually but in the end, he couldnt turn up coz he was having lessons. Yes lessons at 7pm. NTU students really have it tough~~
once a scout, always a scout
Well it was great meeting up with everyone again. 18, Yongjun, Malcom, Eugene, Hengka, Hongjun, Mark-fark-, dy Zhi Zhou, Soh...quite a crowd but still not full strength. Soh was his usual loud self, albeit
a lot plumber, making lots of noise and suaning the people around him. Still, it felt good to see him again. Had that heartwarming feeling meeting him again, kinda like what most of us get when we chance upon our old photo albums or letters. Btw digress a little...I think Thai Express becoming more kiam siap. Their portions are really becoming smaller and less flling. Ordered their seafood kway tiao and the serving given to me was really disappointing. Ok la..maybe they hinting to me that I shouldn't eat too much ..Zzzz
the 54B team. please let me recover from my injury..
Didn't take any photos though, which is a pity. I guess guys don't like to photo whore amongst themselves. Maybe we only like to take photos with girls but not with guys XD. Anyway Soh and Eugene left after dinner while the rest of us hung out at Starhub *opps* I meant Starbucks to do more catching up. Paiseh suddenly got possessed by Bob. After that we actually went for supper at Bedok where we had delicious rou cuo mian. While reminiscing about the things that happened back then, we suddenly realised that this coming Thursday marks the one year we've ORD. Wa lao...time really flies. Omg, before long I would have graduated, started work, marry someone, have unprotected sex and become a father. Waaaaaa~~~
just thought I'll randomly put Bob's team photo here too. hahaha
Btw I just came back from Kbox with my SLC OG. Sir Hong actually came which really surprised me coz I thought he'll be too paiseh to come. Felt good to kbox again after such a long hiatus. Didn't realise so many new songs had come up. Man really feel like a uncle behind the times. Cham ah~ Permanently cui liao. Again, we didn't take any photos, so ya nothing to show.
Going for the CAC camp dry run later. Don't know what possessed me to agree to sign up as a councillor for it but well, what's happened has already happened. Ok la, maybe joining more camps will make me feel more young again. Eh wait..didn't Betty join too many camps that time and resultantly became more.....*gasp* Cham ah...

Whew..another day gone by. Saw this
personality quiz at Lihui's blog and decided to give it a shot too. Well here's the house I drew..
Quite a fine piece of art eh? I think I'll be able to wake Da'Vinci from his grave with a drawing like that. Anyway the analysis of it goes like this...
"Your house tells the world that you ought to be a leader. You are good at making friends and when the joyful moment arrives, you make the most out of it. You are shy and reserved. If you've drawn a cross on each of windows, you always want to live alone. Once you have a problem, you need a friend with you. Your life is always full of changes.
You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible. You love excitement and create it wherever you go. You have a strong personality and you like to command, influence and control people.
You added a flower into your drawing. The flower signifies that you long for love. It also safe to say that others don't see you as a flirt. You don't think much about yourself."
Wu ya bo? Hmmm seems quite accurate I suppose...from what I understand of myself that is. Anyway it sounds pretty good, so I'm not going to find fault with it~ =)
Stared out at the window just now to check if the stars were awake but it turned out to be another cloudy night yet again. Another time perhaps~ I'm not too keen to find out the answer yet anyway. =P
p.s: Alamak guys, didn't know you all started reading my blog le. Make me feel so paiseh with all those words of concern. Hahahahaha~ Eh, but keep them coming ah...

I hate disappointing people. Damn! Yet why am I doing it so often these days? Called up a potential sponsor today and was told that they had decided to forgo the sponsorship. And after all that time I had spent on them! Really don't know how many more rejections I'll have to face before I can finally make some major breakthroughs. Really want to stop disappointing my fellow mc members especially Zhenxian. Hiaz, really want to stop disappointing myself too...
Grr...I won't give up so easily!!!!!

Went for my second acupuncture treatment today. Apparently, my knee seems a lot better now and the doc even reckons I'll be able to resume my normal activities in 2 months time. But man...2 months still feels like a long way to go. Worst still, this rest period spans across my holidays too, and I had planned to do so many things...
Oh well, I just hope my knee will fully recover this time around. Anyway, the whole acupuncture experience sure has been quite interesting! Its not as painful as I thought it'll be but neither is it painless. There's this weird, tingling sensation that runs down your spine as the needle slowly pierces into your skin and you can actually feel a kind of..."current" coursing through your body due to the strategic position the needle has been placed at. Perhaps the most amazing thing is that there's actually no blood throughout the entire procedure even after the needles are removed. Kinda like those balloon tricks, where one pierces the balloon with a sharp object, and then removes the piercing with the balloon perfectly intact. Fascinating indeed...
Took some photos while waiting for the needles to be removed.
my knee looking like a porcupine ball...
my knee having a relaxing saunaHope that's the last time I'll ever need to go for the treatment. Its so expensive too....

Looks like I've jumped on the bandwagon yet again and created another blog. But who can blame me right? Afterall,
eVeRyOnE seems to have a blog these days and it only seemed right that such a hip and cool person like myself should keep up with the trends. Muahahaha....
Anyway its not as though I never had a blog before. I did but that was ages ago. Think my last post was in 2005? Ancient~ Well this new blog is finally done up and I kinda like the layout and everything about it. As much as I would like to claim credit for coming up with such a nice design, the source code was actually done by some stranger, whom I've never met before but pounced upon while scouring the net for a design for my blog. Na, he credited himself already, so I'm not plaguarising ah...
Aiya, actually having a blog is so troublesome but ah heck, I hope I can maintain this long enough to have some stuffs I can reminisce about next time. Yep yep, plz give me the strength to let this blog last for a few years or so!
Now if only somebody would be kind enough to teach me how to set up a nice and hip tagboard..
