The big singnet fail hype is officially on. Singnet used to be the best and most stable ISP but now has degraded into such shitty state. Frequent connection resets, unable to load some pages and supreme lag. What are we paying for? Some evidence below.

Valkyria Chronicles
I finished playing Valkyria Chronicles that I borrowed from Cedric. Whee it was really super fun tagged with a meaningful storyline. I did not buy it when it first released because I saw the graphics and felt it was weird and lacking. But actually sometimes storyline can pwn graphics, and it really wasn't so bad afterall. Alicia rocks hehe, my top scout.
Now that I've ORD'ed, got tons of time to play more games woohoo. I'm gonna buy Dragon Age when I come back from Malaysia. Tata

Aion Online
The most anticipated game of the year, Aion Online, was a total disaster for me, and many I believe. It totally failed.
Some quotes that i got:
"We are paying for beta service." -Belladandy
"I'm doing a quest with only 3 spawn points with a bot." -Mechsiao
"Castle sieges are done outside the castle." -Anonymous
Inclusive of poor services from gm, excessive botting and horrible lag at castle sieges in towns, Aion Online offers nothing good. The interface has tons of unfixed problems seen in beta. Too many loose ends not tidied up and the graphics is horrendous.
Chatbox has too many issues: spamming by gold sellers are minimized but still present. After typing the box doesn't close and you have to press enter again that makes it so irritating. Words can't be seen on many terrains due to fixed transparent chatbox background. By typing / and nothing else or some wrong command doesn't negate the error but still appear in the global chat. Also, switching chatbox has to be clicked, inconvenient in battles at times.
Graphics are sort of beautiful. Font and everything blends in well. But at close look, the terrain has poor quality paints and smoothness. Terrain is only nice when fully zoomed out and characters can only be seen in detail and nice at close zoom. It's impractical to zoom in just to see a character and zoom out to fight the monsters.
Botters are everywhere as well. Although there's a command to report botters, nothing so far as i can see has been done. The botters are still present though i reported so many botters.
Players are extremely childish for a paid game. And most legions are dead. Either filled with tons of botters so the chat is always empty, or the turnover rate of players are too high. Castle sieges will never work with only 15 legionmates on in most legions.
Castle sieges are extremely lag. At the gate, game crashes. Lag is everywhere except when you solo a monster. Might as well play some offline game then.
Enuff said.

Sweet Memories
Tomorrow's finally the day! The first of the last. And a new beginning of course. I'm still unsure of what to do after ORD, what to study, what to become. HAHAHA! Not that i've not been thinking about them, but thinking about the wrong things i guess. Not the good days for now at least...
Driving Test is nearing too. I'm just worried about screwups in the circuit. So far i've been in there once only, and two more times before the TP. Don't really have time to learn already as I'll be going overseas :D yay haha. First to KL, visiting the new shopping mall Pavillion, and for don't know how many @$%^@$%^ times petronas towers. Going Harbin in December, going to be the coldest place i've ever been, -20 degrees or so. Really looking forward to it. Also looking forward to Uni. I need a change of life.
Aion online's really good. But the lag is really a turn off. I might be selling it off soon. Hope i can find buyers. Should have known since the beginning that i played the wrong class, that i will not play till the end haha.
Been a while since i mastered All of me, the song i aimed to master. I'm going to upload it soon. Just finding somewhere to store the music. Now that i'm going to have more free time, I'll be uploading more songs i guess.

Fly me to the moon
It's been so long since i've blogged. The greatest news is that i'm going to ORD! But what comes after is a huge question mark. I don't really know what i wanna do yet. I still need more time lol. Vacation and vacations after ORD then i'll probably start work next year.
Every since i watched xing guang da dao and discovered our very local talent, Olivia Ong, the queen of bossanova. She has very pure voice. All her albums are very soothing and sleep-inducing songs. I love her remixes of songs, and also her jap and chinese songs. Her originals are somewhat monotonous though. Of course, there's bleeding love only on xing guang da dao :D
These few days when going home from army, i saw quite a few blind people. During the peak hours, the buses are really crowded. And I saw this blind guy board the bus packed with people. Nobody actually gave up their seat for him. Really, what is the world becoming >< And i hope that i will never ever be blind. I can't imagine what will happen.

找不到
It's been so long since i've blogged. My firefox is giving tons of problem these days. Weird java scripting and hence all stuff are appearing at the wrong places...
It's getting closer and closer to ORD, and SAF nv fails to fail as always. PSPs have always been allowed in my camp since last September. Ever since then, bagchecks everyday without fail. But they chose to confiscate my memory card only yesterday. And like it isn't the same type of memory card as a handphone, what's so contraband about it... the MP was really a total FAIL.
Anyway, first time i got peripheral vertigo. I went to see the doctor, reservist MO, he said nth unusually about getting new diseases. It's quite normal that people get unwell only in army. The environment and people changes and the body can't adapt. Well, it's not that people wanna chao keng then, it can't be helped haha. Well, i'm feeling seasick now, just like on a boat... ugh. But i get MC :P Well, seems like ORD people tend to fall sick easily, can't be helped too.
Aside from army stuff, just came back from Malaysia. What I remember most vividly about that place, well... traffic jams and slow internet connection. Now i know why Malay = leaver when i played warcraft last time, their internet totally cmi. Phone ring will dc game. And the traffic is the worst. They have parallel lanes travelling in the same direction... and the traffic doesn't even move.

Black or White
Ok. So i'm bored with dragonica already just after 1 week. Same feeling as i got with maple last time, but at least zhiwei and boon was playing maple last time, so it wasn't THAT bad. Too ridiculous to get the upgrading going, and failure rate is too high. (souls) Well, i'm kinda bored now pondering what game to play next... Aion only out in september, lime oddysey in 2 weeks' time, ro2 still havent implement changes to the skills and classes, well stalemate... Perfectworld again ma :( aiyo.

Just bought Harman Kardon Soundsticks II speakers for my computer. Even the worst sounding songs sound damn great, that's how great the speakers are. Went to SLS to check out a few other brands, but none can compare to its style and sound.

Heal the world
When i was on the ambulance for the first time, i told myself it would be the last. And then i still had to take the ambulance... But I hope this will be the last op that i'll have. It's freaky. I don't wanna go back there, not to mention the surging pain. After the op, cuz of the anaesthetic and stuff, stuff flashes through my mind, what i really wanna be, kept thinking about different things, the picture is clearer now, but I'll still have to try, wait and see.
Watched growing up and nu ren da zu yi cuz i forgot to bring stuff to do. Growing up is really nice. The last time i watched it I was like in primary school. Well beats having nothing to do.
