什么是小象?



警告:那些连洋娃娃的生殖器官都不能接受的人请止步,不然后果你自己负责。

如果你不明白上篇文章里说到的“小象”是什么的话,让我介绍你蜡笔小新…

小象! ^_^

梦到破灭再毁减


警告:那些对夫妻间情趣对话,和对讨论正常生理器官会敏感的人,还有那些心智不成熟的人,请止步,不然后果你自己负责。


那天傍晚沐浴时间到,我拿了睡衣进入浴室。老婆还在浴室的镜子前擦护脸的东西。

我剥光身子在花洒隔离间的门口转过身子说:

“看,小象!”

老婆应酬的瞟了一眼,继续擦她的护肤膏。

我自讨没趣的关上隔离间的门,然后代她回答:

“才没兴趣。”

老婆(应该是要安慰我的自尊心)说:

“那是大象,不是小象。小象和小小象在睡觉。”

“如果我们有第三个儿子不是小小小象咯?好可怜。”

“我们不会有第三个儿子。”

“因为第三个会是女儿?”(*暗爽*)

“我们不会有第三个孩子。”

你听到吗,那女儿梦碎了满地的声音?

=(

Breakdance


There was a power cut due to lightning while wifey and the two kings were at the in-law's earlier this month.

Knowing bored kids generally mean mayhem, wifey hummed to entertain the boys.

It worked, Hsiang danced energetically to the tune and his grandmother in-law asked,

Nana: do you know breakdance?

Hsiang: no.

Nana: do you know what is breakdance?

Hsiang: a dance where you will fall down.

Reminder


This is a gentle reminder that 8:30pm to 9:30pm this Saturday (26th of March) is Earth Hour.

If you are not aware of what Earth Hour is, practise your google-fu (Wikipedia is a good source), or you can read my
post from last year.

Remember, all we have to do to participate is to turn off all non-essential lights and electrical appliances during that appointed hour.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy. ^_^

Of course, more importantly is to be mindful of climate change and that all of us need to do something about it.

So don't just stop at that one hour per year, but be constantly conscious of our action and it's impact, make it a habit to turn off the light when you will be out of the room for a bit, say, when you are going to take a shower.

Don't waste energy illuminating and cooling the lounge when everybody is in their room, and vice versa.

Remember, every bit counts.

Where do I go?


On a highway (motorway) that has only two lanes, with speed limit of 110 km/h...

The daredevils drive above 120 km/h on the outer "fast" lane while the slowpokes plod under 90 km/h on the inner "slow" lane.

Where should law-abiding, superb speed control drivers (like me) who prefer to cruise at the speed limit go?

Huh?

One-liners


He likes you for who you are, not who you will become, so just be yourself.

-----

Can't control what the other thinks about you or your action, and there is no point worrying about what you cannot control, it's a waste of time and energy.

-----

Holding grudge against someone achieves nothing except making yourself grumpy.

-----

There is no end to learning.

-----

Wrong or false information is worse than no information.

Often, it's the little things that make all the difference.

If you don't tell, you don't get heard.

Random Thoughts


Prayers

Let's all say a little prayers for the Japanese.

Given their calm and orderly response to the devastating earthquake, where people helping each other, companies giving out free water and food, shelter, you know this nation is going to pull through with as minimal as possible an impact.

My sincere respect to the Japanese standard.

Home Alone

March 2011 episode.

School holiday so wifey and the two kings are heading to the in-laws'.

Provider/slave is left alone, I suppose it's a kind of a break where I can get better sleep.

Though at the cost of being alone.

Oh well, enter the cave.

Sweet Stuff

Recently, among my friends:

Two baby girls were born. Woot, bunny girls!

Two friends found their partner and are in a relationship, all the best to them and hope it works out for them.

-----

Munchkin

Can't quite remember the exact, but it's something like a level 10 female dwarf with no class who won the first ever (my deck) full six players game of Munchkin.

And I was that player, muahahahaha! =P

Two wins out of seven games so far, still behind the leading player who belted three wins out of seven.

Game on!

Does not Compute!

It's cheaper to buy a new shaving razor which comes with a shaving cartridge than to buy the replacement cartridges, on a per cartridge comparison.

Go figure.

-----

WoW

World of Warcraft is a changed world with the latest Cataclysm expansion.

No I didn't get Cataclysm, I don't even have Wrath of the Lich King expansion.

I just got seven days free game time, Blizzard has smart commercial team that knows it's cheaper to retain existing customers than to get new ones.

Not that they have a lack of customers, mind you.

12 million subscribers as of October 2010, that's just insane!

But yea, it's THAT good. =)

Happy International Women's Day!


Happy International Women's Day (IWD) to all the responsible, loving, caring, and productive women* in the world!

Remember it's about equality, no discrimination based on gender.

Which of course applies to both sexes.

Equality, not supremacy.

So please go knock some sense into those ladies who think it's their god damn birthright to get priority and preferential treatment, say when in a queue or waiting for a service.


On an unrelated note:

Remember to support Earth Hour on 26th of March, 20:30 hours. =)




* no greetings to those irresponsible, cruel, and evil women who abandoned their child, torture animal, and those who take men for granted

It's Good to be Thorough


What initially intended to be a comprehensive explanation that I expect no one will bother looking into turned out to be useful after all, so I am glad I did it.

I did provide the requested bullet points. Only the bullet points were in the summary after two pages of how I came to that summary. =P

My colleague said I am completely covering my arse instead of his usual practice of covering the arsehole only. Crude analogy, I know, haha.

True in a sense but really it's more like a reminder for myself in case anyone asked in the future why I said so, cause I know I will forget if I don't have a record of my thought process. Goldfish memory, yay! =P

Besides, it shows professionalism, *ehem*. =P

Anyway, I heard they actually took 15 minutes to look at what I wrote and ended up I got a free lunch for that, hehe.

Not a Happy Bunny


Money not enough.

Sleep not enough.

Gaming not enough.

Not a happy bunny.

Me sad.

My Superheroes


You have seen my superhero friends, now it's time you meet the truely awesome superheroes in Champions Online (CO).

Mine, of course! =P

While I love roleplaying games (RPG), I don't really roleplay in game, as in I don't usually speak with funny accent or behave in a weird manner.

I did however, wrote a very brief background for each of my superheroes.

LunaShade, elf, Marksman

Archery holds a special place in my heart, so it's easy to decide on which archtype (class) to create as my first hero.

all leather

Background story:

The elf maiden LunaShade has been abducted by an unknown entity from her lush homeworld in another universe. A universe where the most advanced technology was centuries behind compared to this one.

LunaShade keeps to herself and is determined to find out who or what has brought her here. She seeks a way home.


sonic arrow incoming!
LunaShade is a ranged damage dealer, not very durable, but deadly.

I am not afraid of big bad muscular punk!

no introduction of LunaShade is complete without a screenshot of her with the moon ^_^
Next I wanted a hero with spells or magical powers, the Glacier's powers seemed a bit like my frost mage's in World of Warcraft. So Glacier it is!

Soul, human, Glacier

I like Ironman, so I want my superhero to be clad in a high tech power armour, hence the awesome cool looking costume. (If you disagree you are just jealous =P)

polished metal and glowing eye piece!

Background story:

Soul is an enigma. He is cold and borderline antisocial. Some believed that he is a brilliant engineer who has designed and manufactured his advanced suit of armour that generates freezing attacks from vapour. While the truth about Soul may not be known, it's clear from his actions that he is a judicator of justice and peace.

eat my ice shard!

The Glacier is supposingly a tank according to the maker of CO. While the archtype has hugh health, the powers are more towards crowd control, like chill and root.

stay there and eat my ice blast

Not having any skill with inherently high threat or to hold aggro, I am rather puzzled by this supposingly tank class. Still haven't figured out how to properly tank with this hero.

just gotta have a screenshot of this aloof and enigmatic hero =P

So I have a DPS and a tank, naturally I created a healer next! =)

Breeze, human/angel, Mind

Background story:

Breeze is a carer. She has delved deep into mysticism and obtained immense power which she uses mainly to heal or to support others in need. Breeze's sacred actions has moved the Goddess of Healing, whom granted her a divine halo, angel wings, as well as turning her irises pure white. Do not cross the carer, for she is equally capable of delivering divine vengeance.

hovering in midair

The powers pre-determined for this archtype are relevant for her healer/support role, so I got a hang of playing this class fairly soon.

blocking with her telekinetic shield, something she does a lot of

My modus operandi for this hero so far is to cast the ranged AoE DoT power, then block until the mobs die or until I need to refresh the DoT, or heal myself.

Geek dictionary:
- AoE = area of effect
- DoT = damage over time


the occasional Ego Blast when I want to end a battle faster

just a really nice screenshot of Breeze, very divine!

Not very satisfy with Glacier as a tank, I tried the other archtype, the Behemoth.

Armour, human, Behemoth

Yes yes, I like my high tech power armour costume so much (cause it's freaking awesome!) I reused it with a different colour scheme and eye piece.

Behemoth is strong, really!

Background story:

Armour is the silent type, he rarely speaks of his past. Born with superhuman strength which is further augmented by the power suit developed for him by the multibillionaire S.E., Armour is a force to be reckoned on.

with great strength comes the capability of lifting huge stuff...

... and the capabiltiy to inflict great pain on the bad guys. Ouch!

This archtype has pre-determined powers that I am more familiar with as a tank: high health pool, high defence or damage mitigation, skills that generate threat, AoE stun, ranged intercept.

when that sign appears above the enemy's head, it's time to block

This will probably be my preferred tank character. I will still try to figure out the Glacier of course.

shiny metal and glowing eye piece, of course! =P

keeping watch over the citizens

So there you have it, my superheroes and their awesome costume. Remember, you see it here first.

If you ever found any other heroes with similar costume, you know they are just copycats!

Understandable, these costumes are just too cool and too awesome everybody wants them! =P
