心的频道：黏黏虫

我喜欢拥抱。

每天我都会抱一抱情人老婆仔。

好几次。

早上出门前抱抱和吻掰掰。

晚上睡前抱抱和吻晚安。

间中只要我是宅在家里，总会有突然想拥抱的兴致，然后就去找老婆仔。

好几次。

我不知道她有没有拥抱的需求啦，但可怜的老婆仔总是被我索抱，呵呵！

她应该是很无奈，但也已见惯不怪。

也因为这样，每次要过夜的外出公干，或情人和两个瓜丢下我回娘家时我就会若有所失。

少了那习惯了每天几次的拥抱，有点不对劲、不平衡。

黏黏虫没得拥抱是很惨的咯…

The need for speed

Saw a colleague friend posted on Facebook the abysmal internet connection he is having these few days. He posted a speed test that is in the sub 1 Mbps region both upload and download.

Well, he is with that craptastic service provider that would probably be out of business if everything was fair and square.

But things are not fair and square in this country, so many have to endure the craptastic service provider for the lack of alternative.

I am lucky that I got out of that crap when another service provider with better option decided to install their fibre optic line in my apartment. I switched without second thought.

Sometime last year, my service provider upgraded my 8 Mbps line to a 100 Mbps line at no additional cost. Yup, you read that right.

I had no complaint with a 8 Mbps line, so a 100 Mbps line is just icing on the cake.

Anyway, out of curiosity I did a speed test to check out my internet connection just now, using speedtest.net.

all is well and good

I can only say that I have never looked back since I switched service provider. It's a no brainer.

自己讲自己爽

一转眼，这部落格已经十年了哦。

我这样自己讲自己爽也能写了十年，不是开玩笑的咯。

可能因为我根本就不在乎观看率的关系吧？

纯粹写日记心态，记下生活里的点点滴滴，以后可以回顾。

没有特地写给什么人看，但也不在乎和别人分享，愿者上钩，呵呵！ =P

或许可以让看的人笑笑娱乐一下，能让别人欢乐是好事来的。 =)

也或许有些人可以学到什么，有点领悟、启发什么的。

那就更好，更有意义的贡献。 =D

不用客气哦！

讲到好像真的会启发别人那样，真的是自己讲自己爽，哈哈！ =P

Don't feed the trolls

My first encounter of internet troll was around twenty years ago, when I started frequenting gaming fora. It's also from these fora that I learned how to handle these trolls: don't feed them.

There will always be weird people who derives pleasure from causing discomfort or negative emotional response from others. Damn sadist.

Trolls are attention seekers, craving responses, any reply to them is like fuel that keeps them going.

The best way to handle these trolls is to ignore them. Don't reply, just disregard anything they said or posted. Hence the phrase: "don't feed the trolls", i.e. responding to them is feeding them more fuel, so don't.

Initially I thought that the spammer in my instant messaging group is just that, a spammer who doesn't care whether others are interested or not, whether the subject is appropriate or not, and force whatever he fancies down the others' throat in the false pretense that it's "sharing".

Oh, and that he cannot handle paragraph, so he can only post in short, fragmented sentences. Several messages that could be done in one.

It's only when another friend suggested that he should create another group with the number two spammer (he actually posted a spammer championship with all the data of how much he spammed...) so they can spam all they like without affecting the rest of us, where he responded that it's not fun if his spam doesn't make others angry that I realised he is actually a troll.

Wow, I actually know someone in person who's an internet/chat group troll. Achievement unlocked! =P

I have pretty much just directly deleted all the spam they generated anyway, now I have to remind myself not to give any response, and hopefully the others will do the same.

But there always seems to be someone who will feed the trolls though, bollocks.

失声快乐

昨天是和常常一起唱歌的那班朋友每三个月一次的飙歌日。

是个难得的好日子，因为大多数的我们还是在同样一间公司工作，而我们的公司昨天是假期。

只有我们的公司是假期其它公司是工作日是去唱歌的最佳时机：不用拿假、不用塞车、和可以去最便宜的午餐时段。

午餐时段的价钱是晚上时段的一半到稍微多过三分之一，看是星期几。

不是开玩笑的，去一次晚上时段要花两次到三次午餐时段的钱啊！

总之，这样的日子不常有就是了啦。

但是齁，昨天出席的原班人马只有六位而已，其它四位是第一次和我们唱歌。

我竟然在几乎一半是陌生人的情况下还能唱哦！

看来我的脸皮厚度和无耻功力又增加了，嘿嘿。

也不能说是陌生人啦，完全没见过的只是一位，其它三位算认识的，只是从来没有一起唱过歌。

我知道有那么多第一次一起唱歌的人后是有点小紧张的。

我只是在认识久了的朋友面前才会疯疯癫癫的嘛…

所以昨天我唱得蛮谨慎的，应该没有走音或破音。

值得记下来的是，那讲了好几年，真的是几年，说要一起唱歌的那位同事终于都实现承诺啦！

她邀了另一位同事，她们两个自己没有唱歌的时候就讲个不停。

我不知道别人是怎么想的啦，但是我觉得齁，K 房不是一个适合谈天的场所咯，那么吵。

还有就是，别人在唱歌嘞，你们自顾自的高声谈天是不是不太尊重在唱歌的人啊？

怎么都好，像我讲过的，我脸皮够厚，所以我唱了蛮多首歌。

遗憾的是一直想唱〈遗憾〉却又没有唱到，换房后忘了再重点，唉…

还有就是我真的是不能合唱的咯！

昨天又再次破坏了很好听的合唱歌，真是的。

我唱到最后已经没有声音了，很满足。

失声得很开心。

“剉塞”

在光良〈第一次〉 MTV 里，女主角说了几次 “剉塞”，好奇宝宝不懂，所以在网上找了找…

百度知道里是这样解释： 

“锉塞” （实际是：锉屎），念 chua shai，第四声，拉肚子、拉稀屎的意思，还有表达极度惊吓或者被很严重吓倒。

还有：

挫塞(实际上应该是挫屎，屎台语发音是塞)就是倒霉，完蛋意思。

Yahoo 奇摩知识里找到的解释是：

台语“挫赛”的用法有很多。挫赛的说法：拉屎。完蛋啦。死定啦。惨啦等意思。

哦，现在我知道了，嘿嘿！

随想

即时通讯群里总会有一两位特别活跃什么都分享的人。

只是两个人就可以把群聊爆满那种。

可是齁，为什么你们不就单独去聊哦？做什么要群聊哦？

更厉害的是自己一个人都可以将群聊爆满那种，真的是…

通常我要这样自己讲自己爽的话齁，我就写在部落格啦，或放在面子书上啦。

这样做那些有兴趣的可以点击去看，没兴趣的可以不被干扰的略过。

不是放在面子书里的群聊哦！

感伤

看到白发苍苍，状况愈差的妈咪… 很心酸。

很无奈、很失落、很无助。

有那想哭又哭不出来的感觉。

整个人都不好了，超烂的心境。

很感激我的情人老婆仔，那么的照顾妈咪。

谢谢你老婆仔，我很幸运。

真的，谢谢你。

感恩。

好险

昨天在家里上网，玩着重复又重复的网上游戏。

然后突然就觉得宅在家里好无聊，有那冲动要出去吹吹风什么的。

还蛮新鲜的感觉，一个宅男忽然不想宅在家里了。

拿了小说，和冰箱里的可乐，出门去公寓的泳池旁和情人一起坐着看书、分享饮料。

两个瓜在泳池玩乐，尽情的制造噪音。

平时在家里两个瓜的叫喊只能吵到左右两间，和上下两层的邻居，干扰范围有限。

在泳池就不同咯，干扰范围大大增加，所以他们也拼命的发挥大喊大叫的能力。

越喜欢清静的人就越会碰到喜欢吵闹的人的，我的命就是这样的啦…

不要离题，说回宅男离家事故。

幸好那泳池旁看书的小出游平复消去了那奇怪的冲动，没有需要离开公寓出去什么的。

虽然马来西亚没有天灾，但外面的世界还是很可怕的咯，到处都是人。

马来西亚的人灾多到…

那些把国家的钱当自己的钱用的职权人啊、

那些继续相信和支持腐烂职权人的愚蠢人啊、

那些搞种族话题、挑拨离间的白痴啊…

嗯… 不要离题。

外面的世界是很可怕的，主要是因为人。

那些乱枪扫杀的神经变态啊、

那些驾车用手机、闯红灯、鲁莽路霸结果撞死人的脑障啊、

那些劫财劫色还要杀人的人渣啊…

真的是出了门都不知道还能活着回来吗？

人是可以很虚伪丑恶变态恐怖的咯。

而且对我来说，和人交际沟通需要用很多精力，很累的咯。

外面的世界太累太可怕了，幸好昨天我没有那么冲动。

好险。

还是宅在家里好。

如果再有那奇怪的念头，我都是去睡觉就是了。

睡觉了就不会无聊、不会胡思乱想、不会吃东西变肥、不用和人沟通、不用花钱…

看！睡觉是很好的爱好来的。

来火

怎么每次安排策划大伙去唱歌时就是那么容易生气的？

总是会有人爱理不理，不能够干干脆脆的咯。

问了再问还是一样。

要去就说要去，不要去就说不要去嘛，有什么这么难？

还不肯定的不是讲还不肯定咯，不知道不睬人是没有礼貌的咩？

没有人在逼你去哦，你也不必篇故事，不想去不要去是不需要解释的。

我才没有那么八卦，纯粹是要知道人数好安排罢了。

就是会有那些架子很高的人的喔，显到～

让我不解的是，我常常安排其它的东西，像羽球啊、桌上游戏啊什么的。

但那些我又不会这样的喔，为什么哈？

自己都觉得自己很奇怪。

但已经很多次了哦，安排策划去唱歌就因为他们这样的态度而来火。

我都是不要再做安排策划的那个人了，吃力不讨好。

Happiness in small things

Everwing, as expected, is a grindy, senseless game.

I am not quite sure why I still play it, I think I will figure it out as I write this entry.

Sometimes writing stuff out helps my thought process.

I suppose it's the 'work together to kill the raid boss' part that I still find interesting, and perhaps the sidekick collection as well. Gotta get them all! =P

Hmm... maybe I should set myself some goals that when met, it's time to quit the game. If the mind-numbing repetitive gameplay doesn't get to me first, that is.

Let's say when I get a 10k score in the endless round, my current best is 7k.

To get 10k I probably need some fantastic level 30 sidekicks, so I guess that will be the supplementary goal: get the legendary (or better) sidekicks to level 30, evolved from matching zodiac signs for maximum damage potential.

Anyway, I wanted to write this entry not because of all those things above, but for the unexpected moment of joy I found today.

Everwing introduced a new guardian recently, unlocked through a specific chest obtained after killing a certain high level raid boss. All by chance of course, since it's a grindy game.

My playing group has a couple of hardcore members who can play throughout the working hours of the weekdays, mowing through the low level raid bosses in just a few days, with the rest of us chipping in in the after work hours. So we got to the specific raid boss with many days to spare before the timer reset.

The power gamers had the courtesy to hold their horses and let the others who wanted a chance at the new guardian to get to maximum chests before proceeding to kill the raid boss.

The group waited days and set the cut off date on Sunday (today), and all who voiced out they wanted got to max chests before the killing began. =)

When we finally downed the raid boss, that screen put a smile onto my face. Not because we managed to kill the raid boss, that was never in doubt, but because of the teamwork and the consideration for other members we all showed.

slightly more than 12% was needed for max chests

I felt happy, satisfied, accomplished, and warm, for the nice gesture, for the nice people I am playing with. =D

As for the icing on the cake...

Lyra unlocked! Woohoo!

The very first chest I opened, no less.

Those who know my luck, and/or how much I had to go through to get the two other guardians Jade and Arcana will understand this is basically me hitting the jackpot!

I am not a gambling person, else I would have gone and bought the lottery because of this.

=P
