292 steps


I am getting further and further away from my flat rectangular shape. It's not an attractive body shape, but that's my shape for many years.

Well, many years when I was younger.

For the many more recent years, that flat rectangular shape is developing a bulge. It's getting bigger and bigger.

While round is also a shape and I have nothing against it really, I simply prefer the rectangular more. For my body shape, that is.

So I have been exercising since early May, every alternative weekday.

I would take the rubbish out after I washed the dishes, take the lift down, and climb the stairs back to my unit.

That's 17 floors, 292 stair-steps, and takes me around 6 minutes of steady walk without break.

Don't know how long this will last. I can but try.

Finally


Twelve days after the launch of Diablo IV second expansion: Lord of Hatred, I have finally completed the campaign.

I know there are many who bragged about completing the campaign, getting to max level, end game and all that in a few hours on launch day. Good for you, but as someone who loves the lore and enjoys the details, no thanks.

I am a slow gamer and proud of it, hahaha! =P

Sure am glad I am done with the campaign, mightily curious how Blizzard will continue the story? Is it going to be about another Prime Evil now?

Until the next lore update though, time for me to get myself familiar with the new features in this expansion.

And to complete the season journey.

Hope I will have enough game time for that, and not ending up with a mad rush that's totally not my way of having fun playing a game.

有感而发:散


几年前我换了部门。新环境、新同事。

反社会、反交际的我绝大多数时候是独来独往,但还是在同事间有了两位朋友。

一位去年尾离开了公司。另一位这月尾将要离开公司。

有那曲终人散的感觉。

归零。

终究人走茶凉?

伤感。惆怅。失落。

愿他们寻获他们的梦想和成就…

May


May has arrived.

Well, already the fifth day of May.

Won't say that I have writer's block, more like lack of interesting things to record.

Same old same old.

Efforts and sacrifices mostly taken for granted.

Unfulfillment and dissatisfaction a regular part of life.

Life goes on.

心的频道:第八个


六个月后,我再次收到了公司要为我有参与的发明概念,申请专利的通知。

是上星期六发出的电邮通告,我这星期一才看到。但星期一在公司忙了一整天,回到家我都忘了要做个记录。

这是我第八个专利申请。=)

心安理得的接受,因为可以说是我把整组人拖过终点线的。

好啦,应该说是一个半人,把整组五个人拖完最后那几百米。我是贡献了一整个人,加另外两位各四分之一。

我那许许多多周末的加时工作,总算没有徒劳无功。

第八个。开心,感恩。

Diablo IV Lord of Hatred


Diablo IV second expansion: Lord of Hatred has arrived!

I have pre-purchased it a while back so I had played one of the two new classes in this expansion: the Paladin. So, like many others, I will be playing the new Warlock class this season.

Many new and changed things besides the new classes in this expansion. There is the continuation of the storyline in a new region. The level cap is raised to 70. The Horadric Cube is back, as well as set items.

Skill trees got overhauled. End game is supposedly more fun now, with a War Plan system to help organise the activities and earn rewards. Not sure what the fuss is about loot, but Blizzard said the new Loot Filter is much asked for.

Also not sure why Blizzard has to include fishing in so many of its games, but ya, players can fish in Diablo IV now. For the record I continue to ignore the fishing in Diablo Immortal since it was introduced, however long ago that was.

Here's hoping I have time to enjoy the game.

全…?


情人老婆仔旅游回来了,嘢!^_^

家里有老婆仔,感觉完整。

又可以不时就跑去索抱了,呵呵!=P

我不是她优先考虑的人和事,论先后次序,我排在很后很后…

她自己、孩子、她家人、她的工作和客户、运动、韩剧和陆剧,这些过后才是我的顺序。

多年不被优先和经历的拒绝,我也渐渐不自讨没趣。两个人的事,一个人坚持是徒劳无功的,只有碰一鼻子灰。

所以家里是人全了,但我不全。很久了。
