The thing about the World of Warcraft is that it’s incredibly HUGE. It’s just so time consuming to move from one area to another – especially at lower levels. After close to 2-3 weeks of WoW-ing, finally we’ve (my Teddybear and myself) hit level 30 and could purchase our very first mounts! (Initially you could only get them at 40, I guess they changed it abit since I left…)
Teddybear isn’t the photo-taking-kinda-person. Even screenshots are tiresome to him. So anyway, I present to you…

Four more shots (click to enlarge):

Before I head to bed, let me wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR and share with you something I found in YouTube.
*Ahem* While the rest of mankind celebrates the new year with actual fireworks. The horde and alliance had their own fireworks celebration in the World of Warcraft (WoW).

What about you? How did you celebrate your 2009 new year?

For a long time we’ve been saying we’re going to go back to the World of Warcraft (WoW) and start afresh. After months of uncertainty, we’ve finally went ahead and installed and patched the game in our (or rather his) notebooks.

I can’t be certain if I’m going to stay for long, but what is certain now is that I’ve activated my 10 days trial and have levelled my new Priest on Dreadmaul to level 12. And I intend to continue until the trial period comes to its end.

Thinking back I wonder, why the hell did I consider splitting up my interest into different blogs?
I mean, why can’t I have everything packed into one like what everyone else does? Why did I have to be different and make each and every blog “specialized” in it’s so-called field?
Goodness graciousness. Look at this blog, I haven’t updated since May 2008. That’s like almost 5 MONTHS AGO! zZz…
Anyway, it’s December now, maybe it’s about time to get back on track.
Is this like my comeback entry you ask? Hmmm… To be honest, …

Time really does fly by so quickly…

I don’t have a 2008 one yet.
Not too long ago we were celebrating the turn of a year. In a couple more days (give and take a little), it’s going to be Lunar New Year.
Sometimes I wish we could just put a pause to it all and just enjoy the moment as it is.
*Sigh*
In the past, writing or rather blogging was merely an obsessive hobby of mine. These days it seems like part of my bread and butter as well. The good thing about …

It’s all about ‘sex‘ now? I, like many others out there, love the look of an attractive man as much as the next woman (since I’m a female and all). But where do you draw the line?
If you notice lately at Ping.sg, topics related to ‘sex‘ tend to hit the ‘most popular in the last 24 hours‘ charts easily.

This is becoming a trend which many are using at their advantage.

If you were to select Counter-Strike (the PC game) or Paintball, which would you pick? For me, I pick Counter-Strike of course. I never really liked “real life” violence. Virtual reality kind is “okay”, I guess. I mean, you can’t actually get injured playing a PC game, can you?
Anyway… I’ve been hearing a couple of comments about the somewhat link between Counter-Strike and Paintball. And to be frank, I find it ridiculous.
Counter-Strike is Counter-Strike.
Paintball is Paintball.
The significant difference between them is that one is virtual the other is reality. Enough …

Here’s something new.

A game related blog that I frequent (read only, never commented) is somewhat expanding!
Here’s some news – the Independent Gaming weblog is moving to a new domain and becoming IndieGames.com: The Weblog, as part of the CMP Game Group (Independent Games Festival creator)’s outreach into the independent gaming scene.
Told you their “expanding“…

When I was much younger, probably about 10 or something, I somewhat recall playing consoles like SEGA and stuff like that at my cousin’s place. In fact, if I’m not mistaken, my mum even bought one of those ancient console boxes (that requires the TV for it to work) for me and my sisters. But, of course, since I apparently don’t have much recollection of it, I assume I was either never very good at it, or didn’t really like it at all.
What’s my point?
In short, what I’m trying to …

Every once in a while you feel as though you’ve reached the edge of a cliff and you can’t seem to turn around, away from it.
It’s times like this that makes me wonder, is it time to take a step back?
Okay. I admit I sound a little too dramatic. Still… You cannot imagine the humiliation I suffered today! I swear – IT HURTS!
It isn’t the kind of pain you suffer every other day. It has not only proven that I… Miuki, lost to a guy, that apparently played this game …
