I quit my online gaming addiction, and here I am, sitting in front of my com on a saturday morning listening to MP3s and blogging, and trying to find something to do...
The emo-songs dont help much heh, amplifies the very brutal fact that there is a huge void in my life that I am desperately tryng to fill.
Going out with friends and all is one way, but it is too costly especially now that my father bought me a car and I have to pay so much for the carpark season coupon, the road tax, the fuel, the car care accesories and the whole nine yards basically.
Turning to books as a very economical form of leisure now. Actually, I'm glad I picked it up. I completely forgone a total realm of entertainment in its entirety in my rush to keep up with so many things in life, I forgot the pure and simple pleasure of kicking back with a book and possibly some good music.
As I was going through my mail earlier, I was just fishing thru a few requests from some of old friends from online communities like friendster, Flixter, WAYN etc etc
And many a times, I leave those invitations hanging in mid air. Smetimes I feel like I am self-isolating myself from the world, or rather a better part of it. I just feel like I am very contented, wait, maybe comfortable is a better word, with the small close tight-knit group of friends I already have, and thus with this "justification" in mind, I refuse to "over-expose" myself to the "outer world".
Which is so ironic because sometimes I get just that little bit envious of people who have "183 friends" (although I seriously wonder how many of them still remain close, I mean, come on, 183? How do you find the time to meet up and connect with these people with only 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and only 30/31 days (or 8 to 10 weekend days) a month?)
Bah, mindless babbling. I should stop doing that :p
I guess that's the way I work: I eneter a new community (from sec sch to jc to NS), I mix around, (sub?)conciously seiving out only the people I feel a rather deep sense of comfort with, and make an effort to remain in close contacts with them. Yes, that has to be the way I work. So why am I still empty?
I need to sart uni or work soon. I NEED to be doing something. I cannot sit around and idle. An idle mind is a devil's playground, or so they say....
Terence pens his legacy at 11:23 AM I finally resoluted not to let myslef slip down the gaming addiciton slope - again. Yea, I tried doing it once in August, but somehow I found myself resuming my subscription to the online game and sleep late and causing harm to my body all over again. Yes, I sucuumbed to temptation.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to utilise the gaming function of my PC (It's not going to be let off so easily lo haha), it's just that I will not join the fray of online gaming again, well at least not in the near future. All that ladder climbing, xp/loot farming all to be the best. Yea, so you're good. So? What does it get you? So people know your nick and praise you for how well your character is built. So? Yea I have the exact answer to that. You get poorer health due to insufficient sleep. Yes, along with it comes the package of poor complexion (for people like me with sensitive skin), throw in sprinkles of nodding off in front of the computer while at work.
Summing up, it's just not worth it. Yes, the novelty and all was there, been there, done that. 6 months is more than enough to teach me a lesson. So a word of caution to all online gamers out there, unless u can control your playing hours such that your health and other aspects of your life like your social circle and work performance are not compromised, stop playing it.
I condemn smoking and dislike drinking because I regard it as slow suicide. But what am I doing to myself? Depriving my body of sleep and proper maintenance is tantamount to slow suicide too!
I'm glad I saw this before it gets too late.
Side note: VivoCity is HUGE! Unfortunately not many shops are open yet, so its full shopping potential cannot be felt yet. But I expect it to be the shopping and hang out blast of the next few years to come.
Terence pens his legacy at 10:39 AM Oh no! I lost the impetus to blog! Until my dear friend woon has to tag and remind me, (in a very auntie voice no less I imagine), "y never update?"
Haha, dunno why myself. Just lost it lor.
But anyway so much has transpired since the last time I blogged in August 15. But of course u guys will never hear the end of it if I try to talk about everything. But yea, nothing interestingly happening that I must blog about.
Myabe I'll just share what i plan to do next year after I ORD. Yea, my close pal Lionel and I paln to do backpacking in Aussieland next year sometime around early or mid March. Yup, for about 2 - 2.5 weeks lidat. Darwin, Alice Springs, Ayers Rock, Sydney and the Blue Mountains are the places we plan to visit. Yep. We got all the inspiration when we visited the NATAS travel fair at Expo last friday. Yep, dunno if u guys went down there to take a look but man was it bustling with all the travel agencies there. Big conglomerates like Chan Brothers, SA Tours, CTC and ASA and even many ini machiam kacan puteh ones. But since we planned to plan our own itinery so the package deals and stuff that they were mainly promoting werent very much for us.
But the Australian Toursim Board of sorts had booths too la, and basically we just went around finding out more about what to so in each state, and we decided to speak to the natives at the booths cause we know that they would definitely give the best insight, and boy were we right. They were so open, unassuming and generous in sharing their experiences, not like the other travel agents who, upon seeing the 2 of us approach, gave us some brochures and tried to get us away so they can move on to "bigger fishes". I hate that kind of dismissive attitude. I mean, ok, granted that we look kiddy (kind of) and probably not (in their impression) of the right age to go travelling without papa and mama, but still it wasnt ncie to just be dismissive wihtout even listenign to us first.
But nevermind, in the end, I dont think we will be taking any package or be making any reservations thru them Haha. :p Dont let u earn my money....
Yep, I'm breaming with excitement even as I type this. Ya ya, I know my case will kind of hinder plans slightly but u know what, I'm not going to let it bring me down. It may be a thunderstorm but it WILL subside and go away, and the sun will shine once more. Yes yes, it will.
My car's not ehre yet :( It seems that the colour I picked will only be coming in the shipment at the end of this month (I quote the car dealer). Who knows if he is being "overly optimistic". Haha. I hope to drive soon tho. The freedom that comes along with it. Of ocurse the fuel bill too, but well, I will try to keep it under control. So peeps, u know not to bug me for free rides as and when u want. I am NOT a chauffeur (sp?). I can charge by the meter if u want ;).
MAF is coming. It would be nice to see the class again, after some time.
And yes, the year end festive mood is arriving soon, made better with the leave and off that I will be clearing come november.
And happy birthday to myself in advance in case my lazy fingers decide not to blog any time soon. Till then, cheers!
