Fortunately, we managed to find LKC-LT when we arrived there yesterday (30 May 2009). By then, the team's audition already finished liao. Results will be known few days later.
Headed to AMK KBCC. Spilt into 2 groups - Van & Taxi. In the taxi, excluding the Taxi Captain, I'm the only guy. =.= 3 girls & 1 guy... talking about Maple. And I just realised... Jenny & I are unique mage? O_O? Warrior-mage as she suggested for her own STR-HP-Bishop. Lucky mage as I suggested for my High-LUK IL Arch Mage. While Jenny & I are playing in Aquila, the other 2 girls play in Cassiopedia.
The team slacks/rest/playing around with instrument at KBCC before heading to AMK Hub. AMK Hub... Giaz & Hayate "decorate" the Taiko machine. This is how it looks after adding bubble speeches. For original pictures, just click on it.
Upon reaching home, it's already 7.45pm. On comp, start mapling. 3% tnl nia. lol~ 30 May 2009, 2025HRS: EXP gained: 1.216bil EXP reduced: 0.243bil Cleared Level 193: 1.460bil EXP to Level 200: 10.603bil
And I just realised that the amount of EXP to Level 200 was calculated wrongly. zzzz~ Nvm, a rough calculation will be enough. 10.6bil EXP to go (including the amount of EXP being reduced). Once I clear Level 194, it will be less than 10bil EXP to Level 200.
And meanwhile, early Grats Blyx's mum's Bowmaster on 200. Still "wtf" via sms yesterday at 11.30pm sia. @_@

03/04/05 June 2009 (TBC) Potong Pasir, Circle Line, and probably Iluma What: Return of Graduation Gown, Circle Line discovery, Taiko Friends involved: Jenny
Purchasing Graduation Stage photos. Jenny buying as well, but working.
Left house earlier than my plan (thanks to naggy mum). Since Circle Line between Bartley and Marymount was launched, I went to explore it. xD Serangoon Interchange looks a bit similar to Dhoby Ghaut Interchange sia. Got elevator along the way.
There was an inconsiderate commuter at Serangoon (North-East line). Kns... stand in the middle of escalator, and hold on to both sides of handrail. How can I pass through sia? Make me miss the train. Damn it!
Reach Pioneer, still very early. Wow, I travelled... Khatib -> Bishan Bishan -> Serangoon (loop at Bartley & Marymount) Serangoon -> Outram Park Outram Park -> Pioneer
Walk slowly to Pioneer Mall for lunch. Walking slowly to her block after lunch. Then towards JP together. 1 round of solo Taiko before heading to SP to purchase stage photos for her & myself.
Upon arrival at SP, the last batch of Graduants already outside liao. Check the envelope entries so that it will not be mailed to the wrong address. I suppose she wrote the Postal Code correctly, other than that... very easy to check since the address looks so similar. -.-
So fast Graduation Day liao. @_@ Reached SP at about 8am. Some of my friends already camp inside Convention Hall to enjoy Air-con. lol~ At the same time, wait for other friends to arrive before moving in together.
Inside the Ceremony
This is where we are seated according to names. Sigh, seperated. Only after going up on Stage, take "Diploma scroll", still can meet them awhile. When the ceremony started, need to sing National Anthem. =.=" The scene looks exactly the same as my secondary school sia. Can't even hear anyone singing, except probably the VIPs.
After ceremony, all busy take pictures liao. I think I can really count the number of pic taken.
Settle liao, go Foodcourt 6 and have lunch. Fried Chicken Rice... probably the best, and may be the last time eating it?
As a group of about 10 people, 1-by-1 left after eating lunch. End up left with 2 people - Jenny & me. As it was raining, we have no intention of going Iluma. DTE is definitely no. Suddenly meet tio Skyne. Huh? He studied in SP sia!? Very surprised.
In the end, we finally decided to go AMK Hub. For 100% definitely got seats to sit, we transfer at Raffles Place to the North-South Line (towards Marina Bay). Before that, PCK seems very famous har?
Few years ago, there's a SARS Rap
Now, at certain MRT stations, got PCK displays. Alert message for passengers to give way to alighting passengers before boarding??? And and and... this commericial being broadcast at MRT station platforms
A little note is being pasted on to the machine. A URL address. lol~ Carry on playing. Then a Taiko-er likes to play double drum. I wonder who he is... until I found something in the forums. Haha~ A post wrote "AMH is scary..." Wah, like that I already kena KO-ed long time ago liao. *F3*
This is gonna be 4 consecutive days outing. @_@ Went cycling with Jun Le last Monday (25 May 2009). Took bus to Pasir Ris MRT, then walk to DTE. I wonder when was my last visit to DTE. lol~ I think I was with Jenny??? *BachiPiak my head*
So anyway, walk to DTE play Taiko awhile. The new pair of Bachi is the same as AMK. Surprisingly, still can pass Dragon Spirit (魔王). O_O
Then go cycle 2 hours. To and fro, around Pasir Ris Park. Then go back DTE again. And this time, he also wanted to play. (Eh... reminds on the day when I also feel like playing with Jenny)
Also playing another game - Basketball. Close distance, highest score we obtained: 397 (Kns... if not because of the timeout, it should be 400) Before I start my last Taiko round, Skyne arrived. Surprised sia! In fact, he should be surprised because DTE a bit inconvenient for me. Need to take bus, then either transfer to another bus or walk. Thus, I rarely go DTE play. Very rare.
That's all for now. The very next day is Graduation Day (26 May 2009). -.- And that will be 5 consecutive days of outing. @_@
28 May 2009 SINGAPORE: Singapore on Thursday confirmed three more cases of Influenza A (H1N1), bringing the number of infected persons in the country to four.
A day earlier, Singapore confirmed its first case of A(H1N1) flu, in a 22-year-old female Singapore Management University (SMU) student who recently returned to the city-state from New York.
The second confirmed case is a 43-year-old Singapore Permanent Resident who returned to Singapore from San Francisco via Manila on Tuesday (May 26) at 1750 hours.
She was on Singapore Airlines flight SQ 917 and was seated at 33H. She became unwell while on board.
The third confirmed case is a 28-year-old American woman working in Singapore. She returned to Singapore from Honolulu via Tokyo on Tuesday (May 26) at 2353 hours, on United Airlines flight UA 803. She was seated at 33C and became unwell on May 26.
The fourth confirmed case is a 28-year-old Singaporean man who returned to Singapore from Chicago via Hong Kong on May 25 at 0036 hours. He was on United Airlines flight UA 895 and was seated at 55H. He became unwell on May 25.
The patients are currently being treated at the Communicable Disease Centre at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH).
In a statement, the Health Ministry said their symptoms are relatively mild and all the patients are in stable condition.
Contact tracing of their close contacts, including passengers on the same flights, is ongoing. They will be quarantined and provided with antiviral prophylaxis.
The Ministry of Health (MOH) said that passengers within three rows in front and behind the cases who have not been contacted by the ministry yet should call the MOH hotline at 1800-333-9999.
The affected rows for SQ 917 are 30-36; for UA 803 are rows 30-36 and for UA 895 are rows 52-58.
The Health Ministry has reminded those who have travelled in the preceding 7 days to affected countries to seek immediate medical attention once they develop influenza-like symptoms, and call 993 for an ambulance. This, it said, will help minimise the risk of infecting those around them.
Meanwhile, the MOH has also reminded all medical practitioners and healthcare institutions to continue to be vigilant for suspect cases.
Singapore has confirmed its first case of Influenza A (H1N1-2009). The patient is currently being treated at the Communicable Disease Centre at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) and is in stable condition.
The patient is a 22 year-old Singaporean female who was in New York from May 14- 24. She arrived back in Singapore from New York on SQ25 (Seated at Row 55) on 26 May at 06.30hrs. She began to develop a cough while onboard. She passed the thermal scanner uneventfully as she did not have fever then. Later in the morning, she consulted a GP who decided to send her to TTSH via a 993 ambulance, given her travel history. She was immediately admitted for testing. Laboratory confirmation of her infection was made by midnight of 26 May.
The patient has been vigilant in monitoring her own condition and had sought immediate medical attention once she realized that she was unwell. Her attending GP, through his quick response in activating the 993 ambulance for the patient, had also helped to minimize the spread of infection from this case.
We have initiated contact tracing of her close contacts. They will be quarantined and provided with antiviral prophylaxis. Passengers who had travelled in the same flight and were seated in rows 52 to 58 are urged to call the hotline at 1800- 333 9999 to enable us to check on their health condition.
Enhanced vigilance
The Ministry has reminded all medical practitioners and healthcare institutions to continue to be vigilant to suspect cases. We will continue with temperature screening for passengers entering Singapore at all checkpoints (land, sea and air). All passengers passing through or entering Singapore are given Health Alert Notices on board their flights, advising them to monitor their own health if they have been to affected areas and to seek medical attention immediately if they are not well.
Advice from MOH
Singaporeans are reminded to maintain high standards of personal hygiene. This means covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when you sneeze or cough, and washing your hand frequently with soap and water, especially after contact with respiratory secretions (e.g., after sneezing and coughing). We also need the cooperation of everyone to be socially responsible. This means staying home and avoiding crowded places (including trains, buses, offices), putting on a surgical mask and seeing a doctor if you have flu symptoms. MOH advises those who travelled to affected areas to closely monitor their health and seek treatment as soon as possible should they develop symptoms.
Members of the public are advised to exercise caution over travel to affected areas. In the event that travel is unavoidable, the public is advised to take precautionary measures such as avoiding crowded areas and maintaining high standards of personal hygiene at all times. However, iff you are unwell with fever and cough but have no travel history to affected areas, please see a doctor and stay at home.
MOH is monitoring the situation closely and will update the public should there be any new developments. For more information on Influenza A (H1N1-2009), please access MOH’s website at www.moh.gov.sg, call our hotline at 1800-333 9999, or visit www.flu.gov.sg.
24 May 2009 The same task. But this time round, help Jenny and her sis to verify. Not once, but twice. Arrived at about 1pm. Repeated item given. Pink Bean suit again. But after 2pm, it will be Pink Bean cap. So verify the 2nd time after 2pm before heading to JP find her.
I was told to find her after 3.30pm. In the end I arrived at 4.35pm. lol~ But she's still not ready. Very busy wor? O_O Then go find OCBC deposit cheques as requested by Cat. Return to Subway find her. 5pm liao, might as well just have early dinner since I did not eat much for Lunch. =X A short moment of Taiko before going home. Not forgetting to pass her the NRICs & coupons.
A picture taken from Boon Lay station platform (towards Joo Koon). Jurong Safra. Looks big.
Heard that the upcoming class chalet may be at this Safra. Probably I have to wait further confirmation from them.
23 May 2009 The 1st thing to do after waking up. Login to MapleStory and get Monster Card via the event. Suddenly Jenny online, asked me if I got go Suntec event (ASGF 2009) or not. Then, she said she'll be going. But I replied her to update me via sms/call. =X
Before setting off to Suntec City, there's a "guest" outside my house.
Ok, now it's time to head to Suntec City. Another screwed up case.
Staff A told me: Verification queue is for verification only. Sales queue is for sales only. If you want to do verification after buying items from Sales, you have to queue at Verification after that.
Then Staff B told me: After purchasing items from Sales, you can verify straight away as there's a special queue.
Wth lar. In the end, I told Staff B that I arrived at 10am. Then now you told me can verify straight away after buying, while another staff says cannot. Guess what? He brought me to the front. LOL!!!
Anyway, this time round. I'm buying AP Reset on behalf of cutesis. And there's a limitation to it. Each person can purchase up to 5 bundles of AP reset scrolls. So I update Peter regarding this matter. Upon his arrival, he has difficulties finding me because it is a bit crowded. lol~
Purchases were made. Peter went to re-queue to buy another 5. For me, I have bought 5 (including 1 bundle which belongs to him). Meanwhile, Cat (Victor) arrived after a talk about MapleStory Episode 2 Insights. Passed him the coupons which I verified on behalf of him. Then I Called Jenny for updates. She confirmed coming down, to wait her at City Hall control station.
So while waiting, I took this picture.
Then proceed to foodcourt. Since I'll be joining her for lunch later, only Peter & Victor are having lunch. While on the way to City Hall with Victor, advertisement was given out. Pikachu VS Pink Bean? @_@
Very rush sia. He's going to be late for Circle Line (Marymount-Bartley) preview. Then she called me. In fact, I'll be arriving in less than 1 minute when she called me. lol~ While he chiong to station platform, Jenny and her sis's dear arrived liao. The other 2 guys... probably her sis's dear's friends. =X Walk to Suntec (for me, it is walking back to Suntec again @_@) Lunch before heading to ASGF 2009.
While heading back to ASGF 2009. Wow, almost no people queuing sia. She go verify and get coupon. It's Pink Bean suit. Then head to Iluma with her, by bus. (While the 3 guys go other area) Alight at the wrong bus stop. lol~ Bobian.
Btw, this is Iluma (if you are wondering) [Excluding the 2 maplers up there...] Acardia got new game. Motorcycle de. PK each other. LOL! Next time play. =X And the usual game... Taiko.
Another thing about Acardia as well. As we head to Level 7. We saw another Acardia (it is named as Tornado) under renovation. Rumours that it will be ready by Mid-June 2009. We shall see then.
Using the Token to decide which direction to go after playing last round of Taiko: It is either I alight first at Khatib or she alight first at Bukit Batok/Gombak. With the help of Gias (a Taiko-er), he tossed the coin. The result is... She's gonna alight 1st.
But hor, reach JE liao. She dunno which station to alight. ._. My reply was... if you somehow miss me hor, then you alight at Gombak lor.
So I received Pink Bean Weapon & Cap coupons. It's mapling time. As mentioned in the previous blog post, I had achieved Level 193. However, it's a bumpy ride. Let me tell you why.
Every 1-2hour, suddenly a Lie Detector UI appears in your screen. The UI Alignment for TextBox & Image are bugged (out of alignment). Moreover, even you key in correctly, it is still WRONG!!! So is it a Lie Detector or Bug Detector?
After 2 wrong tries, you will be sent to town and another UI appears saying something like... Similar incident again, your account access will be restricted.
This patch is gonna be the best among other patches for the past 4 years. Summary of releases: - Timeless Temple (including Pink Bean) - Elin Forest (including PQ [Level 45- 55]) - Mu Lung Training Centre - Family System - Monster Book - Maker Skill - Increased damage cap to 199,999 - EXP Reduction - Skill enhancements - 4th Anniversary events - Other UIs enhancements - Pre-KoC
Just mention a few main points.
No one expects KoC to be launched in Early June 2009. If this is the case, MapleSEA is the 1st to be released outside Korea. So they come out with the KoC trailer when you logged in for the 1st time after v0.73 patch. You will see your own character becomes 5 different types of KoC classes. Quests are available with it.
Timeless Temple. You have to access the map in order to have the quest appear in your quest log. 2 words to describe Timeless Temple quests: Time consuming
Mu Lung Training Centre. Just accumulate points to get Belt - a new equipment.
EXP Reduction. Good, now level up becomes easier. And I hit 193 on ASGF 2009 Day 1 (22 May 2009). 22 May 2009, 1721HRS: EXP gained: 1,153,553,280 EXP reduced: 230,766,029 Cleared Level 192: 1,384,319,309 EXP to Level 200: 12,063,971,469
22 May 2009 Speaking about ASGF 2009. The staffs over there... 2 words to describe: Communication breakdown. 1 guy says, sales queue is sales. If you want to verify passport after buying items from sales queue, you have to queue at Verification from the back. The other guy says, there will be a special queue to verify passport after purchasing items at Sales Counter.
By the way, there's something wrong with the coupon delivery, thus the delay in Verification start time. It started verification at 2.05pm. @_@ Thanks to Cat, we are able to get the coupons instead of queuing.
As he had to leave for his work, I helped him get the coupons.
I somehow spotted this mini-banner which appears randomly around AsiasoftSEA Forums. Anyway, it will be released in early June 2009 based on v0.72 patch info.
Speaking about v0.72 Patch Info, it is serious Wall of Text!!!
Summary of release: - Launch of Episode 2: 2x EXP on Fridays, Saturdays, Sunday (22 May - 28 June) - Timeless Temple (including Pink Bean) - Family System - Elin Forest (including PQ) - Mu Lung Training Centre - Maker Skill - Monster Book - Title System - New EXP Table - Pre-KoC - 4th Anniversary Event
Regarding the New EXP Table, the Patch Note in both languages say the different thing. English version: With the new EXP table implemented, you can now level up more easily with about 70% to 80% of the effort you used to put it. Chinese version: 这个长达一个月的活动能让你更轻松地升级 。你现在只需要放入之前80%左右的心思就能升级了。 [You can level up more easily with about 80% of the effort you used to put it during this 1-month long event.]
And the FAQ, both languages say the same thing. English version: Q8: Will it be easier to level up in MapleSEA Episode 2? A: Yes! In fact, the EXP table has been revised. It has been calculated that there will be a 16.67% decrease of total EXP required to reach level 200.
Chinese version: 问题8：玩枫险之旅篇章二会时，会比较容易升级吗？ 回答：那当然！事实上，枫险之旅篇章二的经验表已被修订。有数据显示，在枫险之旅篇章二中所需要抵达等级200的经验值有16.67%的下降。
Let say it is permanent, my initial target to hit Level 200 will not be: - 31 August 2009 - 06 August 2009
Most likely, it will be around June/July. Hoping for 28 June 2009, to be further confirmed. =P
Happiness 1 (Afternoon) For weeks, finally Jenny breakthrough Level 13x. Grats for decreasing the Magic Seed price from 18k to 12k.
Happiness 2 (Late-Afternoon) After 3 delays, finally level up. -.-" Delay 1: Initially to Level Up on 11/5, but delay to 12/5 due to Birthday. Delay 2: Initially to Level Up on 12/5, but delay to 13/5 due to mapershine urgent training unavailability. Delay 3: Initially to Level Up on 13/5, but delay to 14/5 due to massive extension of Server Check.
14 May 2009, 1721HRS: Cleared Level 191: 1.312bil (1,312,399,800) EXP to Level 200: 13.448bil (13,448,290,778)
Happiness 3 (Night) Ok, urgent update received. I have to bring in my guest to take her Horned Tail Necklace. Bobian. Risk lor, since she's using Vista. And she proved me wrong. Survived all the way without DC. Tio neck, that's one good thing. But still got mixed feelings. >.<"
The day my family went to a Buddhist temple at Sengkang (West). The bus we took... is not the 1 that terminates at Sengkang Bus Interchange. Upon alighting at our destination bus stop, wth... the bus interchange is just nearby nia. That means go Sengkang central... got 2 buses liao - 85 & 965. But 965 best... go inside the Interchange, so no worries when it is raining.
Brandon sms me whether I got go iluma or not. This message, definitely sent to me and Jenny 1... based on the way he write. I reply him + send to her... since my phone can send a message to many people at the same time. Time saving mah. xD Anyway, bo go there.
Then go AMK Hub. That arcade is really Zone-F. Yea, they changed the Bachi for the left drum. Sure... but it's thicker and heavier. How to play sia? Later hand sore. >.<" Then, the right drum... 1 of the bachi came off from the string. Eventually I take the right bachi to play on the left drum. lol~ Idiot... children. Almost want to sabo me to play Easy mode song sia. @_@ Have to block them while I select mode & song. >.<"
As usual, "~Seasons of Asia~" song hor... still not at a high passing percentage. Like 50:50 sia.
Oh yea, the right side bachi which came off from the string. It happens to be someone from the Taiko forum when I found out. lol? @_@
For mapling part... managed to hit Level 191. Hoho. Extended birthday level target acheived, eh... thanks to 2x EXP event. lol~ 09 May 2009, 2025HRS Cleared Level 190: 1.244bil (1,244,216,724) EXP to Level 200: 14.760bil (14,760,690,578)

2x EXP event... so chiong EXP, bo go JP find Jenny. (Find her the next day, instead... because of the "ahem ahem" thingy)
Supposed to meet at 3pm, end up both of us late. I arrived much earlier than her. So I walked around. Eh... TKA Bugis Arcade at basement sia. Quite huge lor. See people play Jubeat... huh? Can play a total of 4 songs?
Then go Iluma upon her arrival. 1st 2 try of "~Seasons Of Asia~... passed wor. Kns... 3rd try I go solo, somemore in the 1st song. F lar... fail lar. Then bloody hell during Revival round, give me SO MANY FOODS!!!! There goes $1 for 1 song, even with the help of her. Sorry... T_T But it proves 1 thing: Almost pass a song =/= little food given at Revival It's random. All the while we have been saying "Math.Random()".
Another video game played. Anyhow shoot, anyhow chiong. LOL... no life left, insert token to continue.
There was something in her bag, asking me to guess. A wallet. O_O (So observant... lol) During her birthday, her friends told her to change her bag. Now my turn liao.
Greetings all sent to me. Of course, I replied to them liao. SMS, Maple in-game, AsiaSoftSEA Forums, Taiko Forums. And nice 1, some1 sent it at 2359HRS. LOL... 1 more minute = belated.
Now I'm thinking of something. Her next birthday gift shall be? Seems that time is limited to me. >.<" Time to do some brainstorming.
A discussion with mapershine, end up not much thing touch due to some unforseen circumstances for Saturday batch plan.
All the while, I have been surfing the net & forums until his son's lappy battery going near 15%. lol~

Yes, most high level players are looking towards this map because of the new TIMELESS WEAPONS! Timeless weapons are level 120 and above weapons.

04 May 2009 Suppose to be able to hit 190, but haiz... Noel never online, end up can't level. No Ring Bonus EXP simply sucks.
05 May 2009 Due to HT meeting with shine, training delayed. So Noel starts her training 1st. Before shine logs out maple, he inform Noel on my behalf. Crap, I reached home... Noel offline. But her ring mule online. So not so bad, just that will train slightly slower due to solo + hs-less.
EXP as of 05 May 2009, 1708HRS: Cleared Level 189: 1,179,575,962 EXP to Level 200: 16,004,907,304

Wait for 12am to do Image Puzzle Quiz. Tio another Wonky blessing. This time... is +WA +MA de. Cool. Then, straight logout sleep. xD
Ok, as for now, blog till here. Back-to-back event for 3 days starting today. Somehow, Jenny hints me something while chatting in Maple. She says something like... "I specially off on Monday (11 May 2009) from work... ahem ahem" Then I was like... "Ahem ahem coughs coughs" back. =X A hint? Or I was dreaming?

Singapore's JI leader Mas Selamat arrested in Malaysia
SINGAPORE: Mas Selamat Kastari, Singapore's Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) leader who escaped from Whitley Road Detention Centre on February 27 last year, has been arrested.
The terrorist, who once plotted to hijack a plane and crash it into Changi Airport, was arrested in Malaysia in a joint intelligence operation involving the internal security agencies of the two countries.
It is understood that Mas Selamat was actually arrested over a month ago but had been under interrogation in Malaysia.
It is believed that the fugitive will soon be brought back to Singapore.
Last December, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong had said: "He is one up on us, but the game is not over. One day we will catch him."
Most security experts had expected the fugitive to head for Indonesia, where other JI members are believed to be based. So, it came as a surprise to some that he was arrested in Malaysia.
Mas Selamat gave his guards the slip while he was being taken to the toilet at the detention centre.
The escape sparked the largest manhunt in Singapore's history. Thousands of police and military personnel were roped in to comb the island for the fugitive. Checks at the borders were stepped up, road blocks were set up, officers went house to house, and forested areas were swept.
There were also offers of a million dollar reward by two businessmen for his capture.
Mas Selamat, however, remained elusive although dozens of illegal immigrants were flushed out. Posters bearing his face and description were put up everywhere and every mobile phone here was sent either a text description or a picture of him.
Mas Selamat's escape also resulted in the dismissal of the detention centre's superintendent over security lapses. The superintendent's deputy was demoted.
The two were the most senior officers in charge of the ground management of the detention centre, and were among six Internal Security Department (ISD) officers charged over the escape.
Mas Selamat fled Singapore in December 2001 following an Internal Security Department operation against the terrorist organisation.
The militant leader had been on the run after Singapore authorities discovered plans to crash seven trucks filled with bombs at various locations around the island.
Investigations also revealed that he was the mastermind behind a plan to hijack an airplane and crash it into Changi airport.
Mas Selamat was arrested by the Indonesian police on Bintan island in January 2006. He was detained for using a fake identity card.
When he was arrested, officers found literature on bomb-making on him. Based on investigations then, Indonesia's elite anti-terror police then discovered he was the leader of the Singapore Jemaah Islamiyah network.
They then deported him to Singapore, where he was detained at Whitley Road Detention Centre under the Internal Security Act.
The 48-year-old father of four was said to be involved in JI's plans to mount attacks against foreign and local establishments in Singapore.
These included the US Embassy and American Club, the Defence Ministry headquarters at Bukit Gombak and the Education Ministry building at North Buona Vista Drive. - CNA/TODAY/de

On 03 May 2009, I saw an email notification that someone posted a reply in a thread which I subscribed. Then this thread, very long time... no people post liao. Suddenly got people post. I go view it... happens to be that Ricky.

When is the next time I will get to meet him? Hmmm... Somehow don't feel like meeting him. The way he posted in forums, may seem offending to me.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have stated that the symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of other strains of human flu, including fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. A few patients have reported that they also suffered from diarrhea and vomiting.
Seriously, I can't understand why some people want to make matters from bad to worse. Haiz...
Phone conversation with Victor (aka Dusis - Cat). Suddenly a swarm of Ally chats flood my chatbox. I thought nothing much. All the while, it is about Kaisong (aka Kissmon). So what is it? About calling him a "ghey"? Who started this in the 1st place? Is it meant to be a prank?
Loot hacker mesos is a crime. Of course it is, in GMs' point of view. I don't see anything wrong with Kissmon's saying for this case.
Well, shine settle this issue mah. So I'm not so free to see what is going on exactly.
Sometimes, it is just hard to understand another people. Even in real life.
