Into 'IT' With a Wrong Reason...
30 March 2008
30 March 2008
Yeah, its about the game GE again...
Ppl says its good to have 3 different teams for the game... a PVP team, a Raid Team and a Mission.
But since I complaint that its hard to do manual training, ppl offer help to plvling. Hmm... and ppl commented that I am wasting the premium items (2x exp and stances manual) because I am doing manual training.
Well... its hard to plvl this char call Angie because she cant fight at all... and too bad I have to vet her (meaning to lvl 100) so that I can use her to plvl my other lower level noob chars... but... she dies too easily...
Earlier was told to train with another faction member I see for the 1st time online.
I dont mind but both of us kept getting dc... and my angie died even on the way to it. I know that i shd train her alone so she will get the 100% exp... BUT the problem is... she die before she constructs her tools to help her fight the monsters... so I HAVE to bring my vet scout.
Now I am damn fed up...
SO i have decided to bring angie, 2nd wizard and ETS to train.
Different ppl really diff view and they dont even understand my situation...
So what if they have been through the same before? But ppl tends to forgot how hard they train when they have reach a higher lvl... even at working place in real life this is the same... ppl who became manager totally 4got the 'life' of a lower ranked person...
Another thing I start to wonder is... I think I join the faction for a totally wrong reason... I am not interested in PVP nor wars but I have to learn becos I am so stupid to choose a PK server w/o knowing the meaning of PK. Yeah, this is unavoidable since GE is my first ever MMORPG.
Ppl told me that they were into this faction to relax... but it turns out quite differently... what i think of faction is... everyone chatting happily as friend and share knowledge... but things werent what i think so...
I cant leave as there are ppl who helped me... but then again... I cant force myself to do something I don want... so what do i do?
I shall remain stone.
Good that I have the holiday from work tml.
So i will try to level up ETS... so that she can heal b4 angie die.
Added:
Another thing I feel different in the faction is... eh... how to say?
Ginz said that his faction dont loan items but give... actually i dont care about that, cos maybe his faction is too rich bah? When I talk to Ginz about kenna Baron by other players thing, he actually said 'either get stronger and take revenge or ask your faction mate to help you kill that player back.'
But actually he doesnt know that both does not apply to the faction i am in...
Honest speaking, I am sort of rather a different existence in the faction. Ppl just talk things with different attitude to me as compared to other girls player in the faction. And one example is ytd one of the girl player said that she was baron by someone, EVERYONE reacted and said where, who so that they will go and help her take revenge... but for me, its not the same.
I dont know... maybe I gave ppl a rather stronger impression in the faction so I can say that ppl just dont care much as long as its about me.
Sometimes its not about the thing call jealousy or what but about the 'feel' of being 'helped' and concerned at the time in need. Anyway all i can also say is that I always kenna baron at the wrong timing when ppl are busy bah? Or maybe I am just another annoying fellow to be cared much or less?
In fact why should I care so much if its alr so obvious with the different treatment?
Not that its very bad but its just totally different. Afterall Girls are sensitive and emo creature in this world, even those tougher ones are sensitive.
In conclusion... the next time I am being baron by others again, I wont say anything... whatever that happens on me, I will all keep it to myself only.
What's the use of saying certain things if it doesnt make any difference at all?
Life is sad... so just get it on and be happy.

SNGS Fiesta Cum Run... 75th Years Old...
Yesterday went for the school's fiesta event.. NOT to enjoy and have the chance to SHOP because EAS wellfare gave me $30 coupon.
So went there for what?
Duh... to 'help out' loh... origianlly was to be stationed at the Family Lounge.
But when I got there, LLL told me to go to the Forums instead...
Okay loh... she's the AM... so have to go.
When I reach there....
Omg, only Wen Xin was there, alone.
He told me that he hope to leave at 3pm.
The 2nd interactive white board on loan was place not at the forum directly but at a corner above it... its a CORNER!
And no one will sees it!
To think that they, the VP and PSG actually rushed me to edit and beautify their powerpoint slides... and place it at a 'no-one-will-see' corner. =.=
So i have to be stationed there, doing nothing at all but staring at the white board like an idiot from 1:30pm to 5pm. Gosh...
Yan Peng who was doing the patrol happen to walk by and saw me.
So she asked if i was here to help out out of free will and I told her I was being forced to help out and I cant go anywhere (to go to the toilet or get food/drinks) because I am alone, have to look after the on-loan equipments (later then i realise that its locked all over the two tables... how will it be walk away?)
Sian loh... but Yan Peng she insisted to get me a cup of juice and food. She's a nice chinese HOD. ^^ Though she came back to me quite late, but she keep her words. She really brought me watermelon juice and food, a slice of pizza. So that will be my lunch.
During the 'staring into daze' hours... i looked at the sky and pray for it to rain... ops.. and it did rain later on. It's not my fault... and I'm not abusing my strong 'sense/powers' lah... the poor students have to move their toy horse back into the building. (Hmm.. those for kids to ride on top one lah)
Since I was really not willingly to come and in a bad mood, I actually prayed for a heavier rain. =X And the best part is... it really came true... I'm not abusing my powers... I'm just not happy. Though the rain was heavy but it didnt last very long lah... I'm not that bad to keep praying for it to last long.
At a point of time I went to the toilet and asked the guard to help me look after the equipments, LLL was here but i was on phone so i just walk pass her, anyway she didnt call out to me too. Then later LLL call me on phone after i came out frm the toilet and said Ahmad was looking for me, he will be waiting at the whiteboard there.
When i return, he was sitting at the other bench. And I told him i was away to the toilet with the guard's help to look after. Ahmad says that the laptop and projector can be easily walk away and I have to stay at the spot... hello... cant go enjoy the stalls alr fed up (not to mention cant get my food or drinks) still don allow me to even go toilet? WTH is this? So i oso don care i sort of agure with him why did he place the board at a corner when no one will even look at it.
What he said was "It's not me, its the principla. You want you can talk to her about it." =.=
At the end of the day Victor and another guy (got to noe he is LLL's friend who came to help out) came to my station to help to move the bulky white board. Ahmad then came and settle the rest and asked why didnt Victor they all wait for him.
Ahmad asked Victor how was the event and he said he enjoyed some of the game stalls... god damn... to thk he can enjoy becos they have 3 person at their station while I have to be alone. WTH?
Anyway... what i could do so as to not waste the $30 coupon was to buy somethings before every stalls closes. What I manage to get is $20 for 40 ice sticks. But they didnt had enough so I only got 38 for $20. Yeah, they cheated me $1. Lolx.
Anyway it doesnt matter... its the EAS wellfare who gave the coupon... not frm my own pocket.
There are fun games actually... too bad i cant enjoy it.
It's a bad experience. =.=

Teens turn deaf ear to risks of MP3 players
28 March 2008
28 March 2008
Reuters - Thursday, March 27
NEW YORK - Teenagers seem to know that loud music can damage their hearing, yet most see no reason to lower the volume on their iPods, a small study suggests.
In focus-group discussions with students at two high schools in the Netherlands, researchers found that the teens were generally aware that blasting an MP3 player could harm their hearing. Yet most said they usually played their own device at maximum volume and had no plans to change that.
Like many teenagers, the students often denied their own personal risk. Most knew the general hazards of loud music, but believed they had a "low personal vulnerability" to hearing loss, the researchers report in the Journal of Pediatrics.
Given this, lead researcher Ineke Vogel told Reuters Health in an email interview, "we strongly recommend parents to inform their children and to discuss with their children the use of MP3 players and the potential long- term, irreversible consequences for hearing capacity."
Parents can also look for signs of a problem, like when a child complains of ringing in the ears or sounds being "muffled," according to Vogel and co-researcher Dr. Hein Raat, who are both based at the University Medical Center Rotterdam.
Based on the focus-group discussions, though, many parents may be unaware of the hearing risks posed by MP3 players, the researchers note. Of the 73 students in the study, few said their parents had warned them that playing the devices too loud could harm their hearing.
It may also be necessary for MP3 manufacturers to make changes, the researchers note in their report.
Many students in the study said they did not know how to tell when their MP3 players were too loud. Volumes at or above 90 decibels are believed to be hazardous, Vogel's team notes, but noise levels need to reach 120 dB to 140 dB to become uncomfortable or painful.
Manufacturers, according to the researchers, could equip MP3 players with an indicator that displays the volume level in terms of decibels, along with a signal -- such as a flashing light -- that goes off when decibel levels reach the danger zone.
For now, Vogel and her colleagues recommend that, as a general "rule of thumb," MP3 users set the volume no higher than 60 percent of its full capacity when using "ear bud" style headphones, like those that come with iPods.
With over-the-ear headphones, they recommend 70 percent as the maximum.
Just as there are safety standards for occupational noise exposure, Vogel and her colleagues suggest that more long-range studies are needed to develop safety guidelines for "leisure-time" noise exposure.

The Whiteness is So Obvious?
26 March 2008
26 March 2008
It's the period of emo lately and I am like another stranger to myself.
Yesterday Yating asked if I applied moisturizer or whatever cream onto my face. I told her no and asked why. She was sort of shock for a while and told me that I look very white, or rather pale lately…
But I don’t know it’s so obvious? Even my parents commented that I am already turning panda lately… seriously I need to sleep and rest more… my body temperature is always rising, so high that my brother’s temperature loses out (usually guys have higher body temperature).
Oh yah, regarding the GE friend who I quarreled with, things were cleared… but things were no longer the same like before. Last night in GE faction chat, I was just joking with Span but then he got so angry that he wouldn’t even reply to my apology PM. What was wrong? I don’t know… then they went for PY to hunt boss and I skipped again.
Since they do not have enough slot for squad members in PY, one of them suggested kicking someone out of the squad. Then Span and someone else (if I didn’t remember wrongly) said “Kick Ix” and “Hurry Up”. Actually when I see the way them guys talk to this girl player call Cath from Halycon, I feel so uncomfortable for some reason that I am not even sure of myself. Esp. Span, he talks so differently to her as compared to me.
In my memory, Span is a really wonderful guy and he leaves a very good impression in my mind. He was very nice to me long time ago (yes, before his previous faction went apart and stuff), so nice that he even go to the ice field just to take a few screenshots for me. It’s a very simple thing but yet it touches me somehow because he don’t have to so this for a stranger (me) whom he only met for the 1st time and talked for a short period of time. But now things are so different… sis says that it could be because I am not ‘obedient’ to him (for PY thingy) and so on. I feel very upset that people changes so differently… but then again, do I really know him that well for me to even start to feel upset over? I think I should just take it that I know him in a dream, so I won’t be so upset.
Jin asked why aren’t I talking in faction nowadays and I told him that there are no difference whether I talked or not so why talk (unless necessary)? I am online at the time when they are busy… so sometimes I am being ignored… and I am easily emo + mood swing, once I talk... the chances of having a quarrel with Span will increase.
The thought of leaving the faction [‘family’ they call] starts to float on the surface nowadays… what should I do? Its either I stay there and remain silent all the time (like Yukies) or I just get my ass out of it. My sis and bro started GE lately too and sis said that she would never join a faction. My bro asked if it is a must to join a faction. I said no to him, you could get so pissed off or upset in a faction even most of them are really good people in the game itself.
I should work harder on training now… maybe afk for the time being… should focus on other things in my life.
Happen to came upon this...

Hope all females out there are always safe from it.

Will there Be a 'Free Holiday' 4 Me?
25 March 2008
25 March 2008
Just drank a very weird coffee…. I don’t mean the taste… but like… ehm… there’s some tiny thing that floats on top of it… the coffee doesn’t taste weird… so I just drank it all up in different shots… don’t know if something is wrong or not… but I got the boil coffee pack from the staff lounge. Anyway won’t die from it lah.
Heard that St.Nicks’ gonna make next Monday (31st March 2008) as a school holiday for the students as well as the staff for the Fiesta Event.
But then again… I have to check with the General office people (EAS staff) if they are coming back to school on next Monday or not. If they do that means I have to come for work and there won’t be a ‘free holiday’ for me. T-T
(I pray hard to get a free holiday… wanna rot at home…)
Am starting to clear my stuff from the office now as I’m not sure when will my replacement be found for this school… oh yah I was playing GE Adelina Booty Search (total 95) last nite with my brother and sister… got so excited as I’ve picked a prized loot while my bro picked two. ^^ But I need something good for my scout and elem lah.
Will update the loots list from the ABS on my GE blog when free.
So cold in office now… =.=
This school is always trying hard (and never failed) to freeze me to death huh?
Just one more thing… nowadays I’m so sian with the email notification of ‘Whoever wants to share an application with you’ or ‘Whoever has sent you a/an whatever invitation’. Sounds familiar? Of course you do, they are from Friendster and FaceBook, ehem, if you have one by the way.
And FaceBook is always so lag here in school pc… sometimes at home too…
I shall leave the Friendster application invitation aside first, haven’t got the time to ‘figure out’ what is it. And was about to do this…
But it appears so lag that I can’t even cancel those 900 plus invitation from FaceBook.
Shall do it at home… even if I accept those invitations, I wont have the time to figure out and explore it… so… what’s the use? [Those who sent the invitation I’m sorry to have disappointed you.]
