Happy new year!

It’s been awhile since I last blogged. Partly sue to WP being an arse and for some reason why I tried to “add a new post”, the text field will always be blank no matter what I typed in it. I always had to resort to using “QuickPress” to blog, and then save it as a draft to add in all the formatting later on. I’ve already updated to the latest version, so I really don’t know what’s wrong with it. If this goes on, I might just go back to blogger or livejournal or something. This seriously kills my urge to blog.

That aside, what have I done in 2012? Nothing much, really. LOL. Still in the same company, still in my same old job, didn’t have any new friends… I don’t like changes, as you can see. Well I finally can say I’ve been to Bangkok, though! And Kuala Lumpur! These two are places where I used to think I’d never want to go… but I went! With nice travel companion, too. I never thought I would try street food in Bangkok… you know, hygiene and stuff. But still, I ate! And darn, their fried chicken is heavenly! I wish I can go again just to sink my teeth into that succulent, crispy fried chicken. Yum~~ I’ve brought my Dad to HK last year as well. He doesn’t seem to enjoy it much though, sadly… Or maybe he just isn’t the type of person to show his excitement on his face. Oh well. I wanna go there again some other time… by myself. :D

I’ve also finally ditched my HTC Desire HD and went for Note 2. I love the screen, I love the speed…. I just don’t love the modem. Sigh…. Too frustrated to even talk about it. And no, I still don’t intend to root my phone… despite all these.

Now, come 2013. I’ve long since gave up on new year resolutions, because I know I’ll never keep them. There are a couple of things that I wish to do in this year though. Like, go to the gym more often, switch all my magazine subscriptions to digital versions, control the urge to keep buying new gadgets if the old ones are still working, control my temper (oh yeah)… And I really wish I can visit Taiwan this year. It’s a little hard, looking at the circumstances and situation… but I shall cross my fingers and hope for the best.

That’s it, I guess. I suppose when people grow older, such events like New Year, Chinese New Year, Christmas, etc… just don’t really mean much anymore. It’s just another day, another year.

That said, wish all my family, friends, and readers (if there’s any, at all) a happy 2013. All the best to us. :)

Yet another round of nostalgia.

Daryl added me into the old CS community Facebook group last night. And boy, suddenly I see sooo many familiar names and nicks all over again.

These people whom I thought I’d never meet again, ever.

Project (Marv), Nick, Lim Lee, Cyril (Benjamin), Madprincess (Angela), Whitegal (Lora), Nokiagal (Sara), GM (Kenneth), Drugbeat (Callister), etc etc…

Omg.

Never mind that most of them don’t really remember who I am. I was pretty low profile back then anyway. I wasn’t in any huge-ass famous guild, wasn’t one of those screamy female CS player who’s damn pro in AWP… I’m just that socially awkward girl who initially tagged behind bAbYeLiTe (Jas~) wherever she went, and then subsequently became a CS server admin at paGn, before moving on to being a committee member in Khabal Gaming.

Most people will probably have just heard of the nick “Scottie”, but never quite remember who I am.

But there are some who remembered… and boy, I’m surprised that they do.

Just like in the past… even though I’m part of this Facebook community page, I never really felt that I’m part of it. Maybe it’s because I’ve never hang out with these people, I’ve never really played with them before… I’m always like a bystander. I can never blend in with their topics, to what they say. They are a close, tight knit of people. In the past, I can only listened to what they were saying, and smiled if they said something funny among each other. Now, I can only “like” what they say there on FB… nothing else.

But that doesn’t change that fact that I’m glad to be part of the community, to be there witnessing them catching up with one another, reminiscing about the old times.

The good, ol’ times.

Suddenly I feel like taking out that Quake 3 everglide and re-install CS all over again. Re-visit de_dust, cs_docks, de_aztec, etc etc…

The good, ol’ times, indeed.

Got a few stuff to get off my chest. Can’t be bothered to write a proper, structured entry, so here goes:-

1) I cleaned/tidied up my computer area at home. Yay!

2) I’m sick at the moment. Nay! Doc said I’ve got some sort of a localized bacteria infection around my tonsils, and that’s also what’s causing the on/off low-grade fever. Gave me antibiotics (again!), and some antihistamines, and what-not. Bleh.

3) I’m stuck in D3 Inferno level. T_T But yeah I’m back in EU playing with Reko. -__-;; I guess he’s the only one who knows my “pattern” when it comes to gaming.. hurhur >.>

4) Bourne Legacy IS A WASTE OF MY MONEY AND TIME. GIVE ME BACK MATT DAMON NOW. Not that that Renner guy is any bad. Just that the story sucks, the plot sucks – o wait, the plot is actually not too bad, but the execution sucks. Geez. I hope Expendables 2 will be a better brainless action flick. I miss Van Damme!

5) I still couldn’t decide which region to buy Mists of Panderia for. NA or EU?!

6) I haven’t catch Ring of Fire at Omnimax Theatre!!!! I really should get my lazy ass off to Jurong some day…

7) Can’t wait for my Bangkok trip at the end of the month. Hoho! I wonder if I would actually buy anything from there….? :x

8) My hp contract is ending in December! Which phone should I get next? Hmm hmm? I don’t want S3! It’s becoming another common phone! *stamps foot* I don’t want iPhone 5 either! Hmmm… Note 2? One X+? Which, which?? ~_~

9) My PSU died a few weeks back. Thank to Reko and another friend’s help, I managed to get it replaced and it’s running as good as new now again. Yay!

10) My iPod Touch (first gen) isn’t dead after all… my friend actually helped to revive it. D: Three cheers to him! What would one do without geeky/techie friends? :D

CHC members are just a herd of pathetic sheep. You’ve got evidence right in front of your eyes yet you refused to see that your beloved pastor has cheated your hard earned money, and continuing to pray for him and keep your faith and love in him.

Oh come on. Do you believe in God or has this Kong Hee taken over God’s place in your heart?

Even if this scammer is being sentenced to jail, I’m pretty sure most of you will still go “CAD is working under Satan! This is a test of faith!” *facepalms*

Brainwashing at its finest….

把爱放开
作词：F.I.R./谢宥慧
作曲：F.I.R.

我们的爱~过了就不再回来
直到现在我还默默的等待

当你开始追寻你要的自由
放开我们紧握的手　带走我的爱和天空
我不知所措　我以为我会懂
我们的爱~我们的爱~

当我独自走到时间的尽头
回忆和我擦身而过　带走你的爱和笑容
我无力承受　最后的一点心痛
我们的爱~我们的爱~

把爱放开　把手放开　如果你的心已不在
把爱放开　不再等待　你的温柔是一片空白
把爱放开　把心打开
这次我决定走出回忆重来
就让我彻底地伤　再彻底地醒过来
就让我彻底地伤　再彻底地醒过来

终于明白爱已不再
从今以后再也没有什么能去依赖
我还有什么期待

把爱放开　把手放开　如果你的心已不在
把爱放开　不再等待　你的温柔是一片空白
把爱放开　把心打开
这次我决定走出所有回忆重来
就让我彻底地伤　再彻底地醒过来

Hey, it’s been awhile since I last updated here.  It’s mid-March already, can’t believe time flew this fast.

So, what have I done these two months?  Nothing much, really.  Just hanging out pretty often with a very close friend – can’t imagine we’ve only known each other for a year (well a year soon, come April XD).  Of course we have our disagreements and conflicts, but we have a lot of common hobbies and topics as well.  Well, you know who you are.  :)  Thanks for being there for me all the time, giving in to my temperaments, helping me fix my phone when it went bonkers and gave me the courage to dismantle that dead internal HDD from my rig (and I learnt how to put one in from there).  Can’t believe I’m actually doing “hands-on” on my rig now, omg.  It’s kinda addictive.  :D  Maybe I’ll even attempt to build/assemble my next rig!  LOL.

But hey, thank you.  Really.  :)  Wish I could give you a huge bear hug right now.  ^_^

Now I’m just looking towards the upcoming trip to KL in April!  Hotel booked, coach tickets bought – now just waiting for the day to come! Just wanna go unwind in the hotel’s Club Room, go eat all the street food at Jalan Alor, go shop IT stuff at Low Yat Plaza, and grab that A&W across Lot10!  And I’ve already made reservations at the Skybar for that much-recommended Petronas Twin Towers view.  Can’t wait, can’t wait!  :D  Although there’s a slight apprehension, thinking about what’s gonna happen after the trip… but maybe I shouldn’t think too much about that huh.  Everyone says girls just think too much, lol.  Yeah.. just go with the flow?  A lil hard to do that but.. I’ll try.

Oh yeah, Diablo 3 is coming!  I’ve pre-ordered the CE from Amazon, and I’ll just play the digital version first, while waiting for my CE to arrive, lol.  I hope it’ll live up to expectations!  :D  On the side note, I’ve re-subbed WoW for 12 months, just to get that Tyrael’s Charger.  Ha-ha.  And guess what, I’ve used the Scroll of Resurrection on a friend, and I get the transparent windrider too!  :D :D  It’s just weird flying on it when in Shadow Form… It went almost completely transparent!!!  In the end it just looked like my priestess is sitting astride over empty air.  -_-;;

Guess that’s the updates for now… Maybe I’ll post again after I’m back from the KL trip, with all the food photos.  Haha!  But don’t hold your breath for that!  ;P

As expected… year 2012 didn’t start off that well.  But… since I’m already kinda mentally prepared for that, it’s not that bad, I guess.

The weather’s been getting colder lately.  It’s too cold to even step into the shower room.  Brrrr…

Just went to A-Mei concert last night, and really, it was just amazing.  Her vocals are so darn powerful, and the whole concert was so high!  I was singing out loud with all others to her classics, and screaming my lungs out like a little girl.  *laughs*  I nearly lost my voice last night due to all that singing and screaming!  It was seriously worth the ticket money.  =)

All right, time to list some stuff to do for year 2012..

Travel plans for this year:  KL trip in April (most likely confirmed trip :D); as well as a New Year countdown trip to Taiwan end-December.  The latter is just a tentative idea as of now though… hard to say if I’ll definitely go for it.  I do want to go, but it all depends on whether my friend can make it or not.  None.

Movies to catch for this year:  MI3: Ghost Protocol (watched), The Darkest Hour (watched), GI Joe, Expendables 2, The Hobbit, Battleship (Transformers-wannabe~), Underworld Awakening, Haywire (it’s like a female Bourne, you know?  :D), Mirror Mirror (Julia Roberts as the evil queen?  Yes, please!), aaaaaannndddd of course, how can I forget, THE AVENGERS?!  Woohooooo~  It has that gorgeous, drool-worthy dude who acted in Thor~  What’s his name again?  Oh, Chris Hemsworth.  =D~  I hardly ever drool over Hollywood actors… and I think I can safely say he’s the first one.  (Matt Damon doesn’t count, since I don’t particularly drool over him.  I just love his movies, that’s all.)

Resolutions this year:  None.  LOL!  Really!  Maybe my resolutions are just to get all the above things done~!  Oh yeah, and to hit back gym soon.  Like, real soon.  Yeah.  As soon as this chilly season is over.  ;)

I should be blogging more often.

But… I don’t feel like it.

Oops.

On a side note, happy new year.  :)  May 2012 be a better year for all of us.  More smiles and laughter, less tears and heartbreaks.
