So where do I start?<\/p>\n
Plenty of stuff happened… yet it feels like nothing much happened.<\/p>\n
Hong Kong trip’s over, and although there’s some really bad incidents that happened during the trip, I’m really way too tired to recount those incidents here. \u00a0At least the trip ended well, though my mom started nagging the moment we stepped back into our house. \u00a0Sigh… so much for a “happy” ending. \u00a0I hadn’t bothered to do any write ups, upload any photos, and geez I didn’t even bother to do reviews on Tripadvisor. \u00a0Darn. \u00a0What’s with this laziness….<\/p>\n
Bruno recently taught me some basics of DOTA 2 (did I mention that he was a semi-competitive pro DOTA 2 player?), and we had fun watching the just-concluded Shanghai Major. \u00a0We met like 3 times consecutively after work to catch the games together on his tablet, mostly at Suntec because there’s free Wifi to take advantage of. \u00a0Streaming of video just eats so much data, omg. \u00a0Although the event was a huge mess, there’s some really awesome dota games that went on. \u00a0And even though I’m still newb at everything, at least now I roughly know what exactly the game is about, what objectives are the teams trying to achieve and what they are trying to do in the game. \u00a0DOTA is definitely not a game that I will play as it requires too much strategy and skills (yes I’ll admit that I suck when it comes to using brains in a game, and I have zero gaming skills), but it was much fun watching the games. \u00a0Just like I’ve never played StreetFighter, but I love watching those tourneys too. \u00a0And Bruno was very patient in teaching me certain game play terms, some rules here and there, some character abilities, etc. \u00a0And it helped a little, I guess, that I’m familiar with Warcraft races and skills. But I have to give credit where it’s due – Bruno’s a good teacher. \u00a0Thank you! \u00a0:D<\/p>\n
Oh, and I was somehow swooning at two guys from Team Liquid, who happen to be Finns. \u00a0:3 Hey I didn’t know they are Finns until I googled about them… Too bad they have girlfriends already, haha! \u00a0=X<\/p>\n
The next Major will be held in Philippines, and Bruno and I have this crazy idea to fly there just to catch the games. \u00a0LOL! \u00a0I mean, it’s quite rare to have a Major held so close to Singapore, so I guess Manila is probably the closest it can get for\u00a0us. \u00a0But yeah I guess we’ll see if we can grab the event tickets this Saturday first.<\/p>\n
And no, in case any of you reading this is wondering, no no no Bruno and I are not together. \u00a0Nor will we be together. \u00a0He isn’t looking for a relationship (he values his freedom too much) and it’s really purely just friendship between us. \u00a0Okay, maybe slightly more than friends, since we know each other’s innermost secrets, but that’s where the line is and we both have no interest in crossing that line. Yes we enjoy each other’s company, but no, we really are not that compatible.<\/p>\n
On to work~ \u00a0Work has been dull.. it’s just a mad rush every first two weeks, and then slack for two weeks, and then mad rush again. \u00a0I don’t know how long can I continue to do this… sigh. \u00a0But what else can I do anyway? \u00a0Meh.<\/p>\n
Hadn’t been playing any PC games lately. \u00a0Was so addicted to Crusaders Quest for the past couple of months, and now that I’m gonna quit that game (I just haven’t uninstall it), I’m suddenly at a loss what to do. \u00a0Yeah I have some games in Steam that I haven’t touch (Bastion <\/a>is one… it’s just sitting there in my Steam library), some games that I wanna replay (oh Neverwinter Nights<\/a>, how much I’ve missed you), some old games that I’ve just bought (hi, Arcanum<\/a>~), and some games that I’m waiting for DRM-free version before I buy (oh yes, I’m looking at you, Grim Dawn<\/a>). \u00a0So, we’ll see just what I’ll play this weekend.
