The iPad does not come with Wings.

So after whining whole afternoon yesterday about not able to launch the game and my urge to shoot some mobs, i went back to my old faithful "Grinding Story" private server. Funny thing is, after few hours of mob killing spree with long alt-tab periods in between to chat and facebook/ blog surfing, i don't feel the same addiction towards it as like before. And today from when i boot up my lappie until now, i don't have any strong feeling to click on the mushroom icon. Does that just proves something? That addiction can really be cured not by resisting it, instead ignoring it or finding something else to focus on. Hey, not bad for a start.

Today while browsing my Google Reader feeds, i came across numerous posts regarding the new product from Apple, iPad. Mostly are jokes regarding the name they had came up with, like this. And also regarding the product itself which looks like an over sized iPod. No doubt all these hype is really actually (or so i think) some kind of marketing scheme from Apple. But it has really spark up some (or should i say a LOT) of lame jokes like, "I keep asking my boyfriend to run to the store to pick one of these up for me, but he's just too embarrassed to do it. " I bet you can come up with more.

On the other hand, i am curious at how the product sales would look like for the next few months. Would this kind of negative marketing success, or would it fail terribly. Although something tells me, as much sales the product is going to get, the salesperson at the Apple stores won't be too happy with all the lame jokes and comments they will be getting.

RPG (Really Pathetic Game(r)s)

Currently waiting for the game server to be up... which i have no idea when. Just downloaded this MMORPG called Neo Steam cause i have this strong urge to pick up a bow and shoot some mobs. =____= serious. But after all that downloading ( 1 hr for 1GB files... fast enough) and installing, when i clicked on the icon it pop out the message saying, "A connection to the server could not be established." Sigh. The forums also showed lack of community response. Might be a dead game. Double Sigh.

So today my "butt-bone" is not that pain compared yesterday. Resort to sitting on those office chairs instead of the dining chairs.

(Oh great, i managed to get to the game patcher window. Now it says, "A connection to the server could not be established". Basically the same error message as previously shown. *cries*)

I know i shouldn't be starting on another energy & time consuming game, but...... you know la... just couldn't completely shake off the mob-killing spree feeling. I'm also reluctant to go back to that Grinding-Story game. Anyone has any good RPG games that i can play? I like quests and hate PVP.

Talking bout games, i'm really looking forward to the new game from FF series, Final Fantasy XIII. Saw the trailer several times, and the graphics are AWESOME! The gameplay seems nice and easy also, real time with combos. Sadly, i don't have a PS3.......

Hey you reading this!! Recommend me a game!

Haven't even make it to 25

These whole week i've been feeling like a 70-year old ah po. Why you ask? Cause my backbone has been aching for few days and it creeps me out.. How the hell it happened??

Remember i told you guys that i was to go bowling that next day? It so happens the next day, i woke up and suddenly felt this sharp pain at the bottom tip of my backbone (near my butt). I thought it was due to my sleeping position or maybe the mattress... but as the clock ticked by, the pain did not go away. I had trouble getting up from sitting position and also standing to sitting down. It worsen when i felt light-headed and a vomiting feeling. Not a good sign at all...

So after a quick lunch, i went to see the doctor whom Kinno frequents. She was very nice and gentle. Asked me questions which gave me a feeling of at ease, unlike the doctor i went to at Semenyih... who didn't seem to bother to check out my illness throughly, giving me the feeling he's just doing his job to earn money.

Anyway, the (kind) doctor prescribed me some painkillers and medicine for my giddiness and ask me to rest well and not move around so much. At that moment i really felt like an old lady. T__T

So yea... didn't get to go shopping and bowling with Kinno and instead slept the whole afternoon. When i woke up after that, i really thought it was getting better, cause the pain is not there anymore and also no vomiting feeling. I decided to stop on the medication because you know, too much chemical is not good for your body...

Somehow, it stroked me this afternoon when i was preparing to go home. ( No classes for tomorrow. ) The same pain at the same place. It was mild at first, but after our dinner at Sushi Zanmai ( Late after-exam celebration), the pain intensified. It was so pain, till it even affect my walking.

After that i decided to take my medicine again, which i am really reluctant. Too much painkillers affect your pain senses, right? Am feeling better now, but it still bothers me... to think that i have backbone ache at such young age. I could use some exercise yea? Sigh. I was really looking forward to that bowling session... Let's just hope this ends ASAP.

Was to blog bout a lot more stuff but i think i leave it for sometime later. Till then, enjoy your backache-free days while you can. Cause it can really affect your everyday activities...

p/s: Someone's blog could do with a bit more color and/or pictures.. ( looks at own picture-free posts. Erm..... lazy la .____. )

Holiday mooo

Blog templates nowadays really so convenient. Few clicks and wualah! Done. Nice and neat. Just helped kinno changed his also, although he doesn't update. Hah.

Video chat with my younger sis just now through Skype. She's now in New Zealand doing her Year 13 studies so i guess i'll be using Skype more often. But my lappie's mic is a bit soft... wonder if there's any particular setting i can make it louder. Else i really look like some 38 po talking loudly to the comp.... like idiot. =___=

So today went for first class of the sem, "Managing the Marketing Mix". Have a Dr. as lecturer... i think he lecturers quite well, able to explain the basics of marketing in one slide, literally. However i know i need to really read some journals and get that book he recommend if i want to score in the exam.

After one class of 1 hour, balik rumah. Nothing to do already. We are also not sure if that one hour class is worth the petrol paid... Moreover, i heard from my dad that "itu orang" will remove the petrol subsidy starting this May/June. Which to us consumers equal.... DISASTER! If your public transport is that efficient then i won't mind la... but... *face palm* No hope edi....

Oh well..... Guess have to rely on my No. 11 transport method.... which is my own feet.

Bowling tomorrow! Weeeeeee~

A change for the better

It's time for a fresh look, and also some real updates since like..... last year? Haha.. Found this template through the link in sis's blog, which her friend made for her (so nice.. i'm thinking a He?) so i decided it's time my blog needs some clothes! To all of you using default blogger templates.. Hah! Nakey naked!

Erhem. Anyways... I'm suppose to be "upgrading my writing skills" through this newly acquired interest in blogging (which hopefully lasts long unlike some matters which i will be touching on later.. ) BUT i think this task is not easy to accomplish seeing from my self-progress these few months.

Btw, while putting on clothes for my blog, i notice my profile (which you can check it out too on the right sidebar with outdated info) that this is my 6th year in the blog scene.. Which means i started my first blog 6 years ago! Wow, six years is a damn long of time.. But of course, had never been really an avid blogger as i'm always on hiatus for long periods.. Haha, suddenly feel bit shameful. Oh well, nothing's lost.

Back on the topic of long-lasting tasks... (just another emo-ranting post actually.. ;) Lately particularly since the starting of my final year of university studies, i have been having NO motivation to do any tasks at all. Be it coursework, FYP, housework, blogging... anything! Even the recent exam that just finish this afternoon.. i feel like, "Oh, it's okie.. as long as i pass then good.." "I'm just glad it's over..." and stuff like that.

To me, i feel like i'm just waiting for time to pass. For things to change and for some time for me to begin a fresh path. For i took the path most taken, and i end up lost just like everyone less. (Or so i thought. ) So now i'm thinking of retracing my path and start anew, albeit a little later than others.

I have my motivators, it's just that.. like antibiotics, they lose their effectiveness after much dosages. Deep inside i know i can do better than this, i just don't have the push to bring myself to work even 1% more. I don't know if this has got anything to do with contentment. As lately, i have been feeling really contended with my life, and i feel that things don't really need to be going the way it is intending to go. To get the best first class honors, to get a high paying job... i questioned myself are those necessary. I could just get a good paying job, just enough for all my basic expenses, and live a simple life. I've even thought of living on my own planted crops! Too much "Travel & Living" maybe.

Of course, end of the day i know that without a high-paying job i won't able to feed all my desires and needs... not in this era anymore. I just need an excitation voltage or some sort, to push me to the next realization level to become a truly, truly...... money-enslaved adult.

Ok then, now that i know what i need, who is kind enough to derive me an equation for this unpredictable excitation voltage?

Just to bookmark a page i intend to return to..

Lost in transmission...beep.

Here i am again, seeking solace from this dumb blog. Not stupid kind of dumb, but silence, non-responsive. Although i do need some kind of response.. for some encouragement.. maybe some attention..

Been kinda sluggish lately.. as he puts it. Unmotivated, unwilling, un-confident, undecided... under-damped.

Hope that by tomorrow afternoon, i would have a path to follow.
