Zombie Day


Some days, I just want to lie in the bed and do nothing.

Mentally and emotionally tired, feeling like a stone. Dull, bland, weary, lifeless.

Just don't feel like socialising, moving, being out. Give me some solitude, some peace and quiet.

Today is one such day.

Sad


Sad were the days when I left for work before the kids woke up, and returned home after they had gone to bed, their bedtime being 20:00 hours.

Sadder still were the days when I left for work before wifey woke up, and returned home after she had gone to bed, her bedtime being 00:00 hours.

Sad indeed when I spent three-quarter of a day at work and just a quarter at home.

Diablo III Open Beta


It's Diablo III Open Beta this weekend, Blizzard is inviting almost everyone with an internet connection besides those in selected few countries to stress test their servers.

Any self respecting RPG gamers should already be playing, in case you haven't, grab it and join the bandwagon!

I had about 30 minutes of game time so far and here are some screenies.

the login screen

 my first character? Wizard it is!

 hello world!

 Magic Missle

 Ray of Frost, pew pew!

 first elite mob I encountered

 Shock Pulse

 first magic item I found

Alrighty, back to gaming I go! =D

The Kings have spoken



Can papa and mama go out to dinner while you two stay at home?


No.


Why can't we go?


It will be late and you will be sleeping, there's school on the next day.


No.


Young Young, no?


No, cannot.


Who's going to look after us?


Pop pop and nana will be here.


Who's going to put us to bed?


Nana will.


No.


I will cry.

Dinner with the ladies, part deux


A few weeks back, went out with a group of lady friends for a dinner cum catch-up. Had another tonight. But unlike last time, this time I knew about it well in advance.

Also, instead of four ladies, this time it's five. In case anyone is wondering, yes, it's approved by wifey. =)

It's a dinner cum birthdays celebration this time, just without the birthday cake or birthday song. Okay okay, really just a dinner where we treated the two birthday aunties er... girls.

Ultrasound scans of a dragon boy was passed around, most of us probably couldn't figure out what we were looking at without some explanation. =P Heard the ladies talked about planner's woes, who to and not to work with, and someone who wants it* in the morning, afternoon, and evening. That reminded me about Mr Harimau, hari hari mahu. =P
*work done, in case you have something else in mind...

Five ladies and a guy consumed two 12" pizzas, two 9" pizzas, eight wings, and two jugs of juice. I am stuffed. Again. I am not sure if this is a trend. -_-

I guess I am probably banned from any future invitation now that I have disclosed their consumption prowess. Else I think the next dinner with them will be with six ladies, there will be pizza, and I am gonna get stuffed, again. =P



On a totally unrelated note:

Wifey said she likes my legs, minus the hair, and if hers were like mine she would be wearing short skirt and showing off the legs.

I don't know if I should be proud or what?

Got myself a drake!


Warning: totally geeky stuff!

there are many drakes out there, but this one is mine

Reputation grind is a pain in World of Warcraft, but for this baby, I endured and prevailed.

My Alliance mage became my first character to have a Netherwing Drake. Not sure if I am going to go through the grind again for the others.

It's beautiful. I likey veli the much! ^_^

Feeling Shaky?


Earthquake near Aceh, Indonesia, in the evening caused our condominium to shake.

I didn't feel it but wifey did, she asked me whether the building was shaking when it happened. I am just so insensitive that even when we were watching the hung bananas swaying I still couldn't feel it. 0_o

Soon after our neighbour informed us that a tsunami alert was issued so we moved our vehicles to the roof top parking area and filled up pails and buckets with water.

Just in case.

From BBC news we gathered that the earthquake was 8.5 in magnitude, initially reported to be slightly higher, and experts believe it will not cause a tsunami.

Well, let's hope not.
