My One Cent Worth of Thoughts

A thousand thanks to Kristin who has posted the link in my comments box. Check out this absolutely, mind boggling Fiendish Sudoku website! They provide 5 puzzles of different levels of difficulty each day. I can assure you that it will take up a fair bit of your time to solve all 5! I would say the puzzles from the previous link which I have given you probably fall under the catergory of easy. Hard takes slightly more time and Fiendish is, well, the name speaks for itself.

One more post, today, to make up for the lost months.

TS got me hooked onto this thingy. It’s some number game with a unique solution. You will catch me huddled over my table, with a frown on my forehead, trying to figure out the solution. Just imagine the sense of satisfaction when I solve it! YES!

TS, the main supplier of the puzzles had to diligently download them from TODAY’s website and photostat them for us. THANKS!!! But now, muahahhaha! I have discovered the ultimate source from YY’s blog!

If you are a fan of Sudoku, wait no longer, just click on this link to satisfy your craving!

For the suakus (suaku = mountain turtle = ignoramus) who have never seen a sudoku puzzle before, here’s one to increase your knowledge database.

2 weeks of MC (Medical Leave), I’d better put it to good use. I’m supposed to be an invalid for this span of time, anyway. Invalid = I can eat, sleep, watch tv, surf net, but I’m not supposed to indulge in any form of housework or carry anything heavy. Sounds like heaven, eh? Hee hee.

Ok ok, I’m just abusing the MC to escape from work. Satisfied???? *fold arms* Well, I’ve never had a 2 weeks Mc before and yet, I can’t wait to go back to work. I can be so masochistic, sometimes.

Well, Kok Wai told me to get my ass off (nag nag) and start writing something constructive in my blog (nag nag) and stop wasting cyberspace (nag nag). (Say! He’s an awful nag for someone just one year older than I am. He’s probably going to knock my head when he reads this, but then again, it may take him another 1 month or so to detour back here. So that’s ONE MONTH REPRIEVE! Just can’t stop myself from taking a dig at him.)

Therefore, here I am, trying to add some spice, vinegar, sugar, salt into everyone’s (one who bothers to read this) life.

Stay tuned for more games and sarcasm!

*Akan Datang!

*I think it means To be continued…… in malay.

There was Murphy, now there’s Ah Wei….

When you don’t want to go for dinner, everyone asks you to.

BAH!

I’m starving to death as I’m writing this….

Received this link from Duma some time back. Solved it. Chucked it aside and forgot clean about it. Yesterday, I have received the link from Laval again. Took me some time to shovel through the thingy in my brain before I sieved out the location of the clues. Made a quick escape from the ROom! Ta Da!!!

Enter the Crimson Room… at your own risk… (Skull head symbol)

Well, if you are frustrated to the point of tearing out your hair, fear not, just drop me a blabber (or comment) and I will guide you through (if I’m in a good mood). It will be terrible if you become bald due to the game. Even Yunnam Centre will not be able to salvage the dire situation.

Due to the elusiveness of Uncle Zhou (Zhou Gong = Father of Sleep) last night, insufficient oxygen is making its way to my brain matter. Rather than boring my readers with my whining, I chose to blog surf. Was just wondering if the pig has updated his blog, since the map thingy, therefore, popping in for a look. Had a rather pleasant surprise that, hey! He has indeed diligently added some articles (Pretty admirable, considering the amount of time he is spending on “mapling” his bowman.)

That took like a mere 5 mins…. (10 mins if you count the amount of time I took to add a miserable little comment.) Decided to check out his flogs.

Call it luck or what (since I haven’t been too lucky recently….), I came upon this “Shattered” Blog’s article on illustration of words. Cool yah?! Being vain little me, the first time I did… was… hehe… to type in my name.

I love it! It has all the elements of my favourite colours in them – Bright red, yellow and blue!!! I simply go gaa-gaa over primary colours. Check yours out and see if you can paste it in my comments page. Erm… what comments.. see the little tag on the left? It says Blabber, actually it’s a comments tab. I was being heow that day when I named it and sigh, the comp idiot syndrome has kicked in and I have no clue how to amend it…

Being too destitute to play World of Warcraft (It costs US$40 for a 3 month subscription, on top of the 100 over bucks for the software itself. It’s definitely a rich man’s game!!!), I can only play this super *kawaiii online game – Maple Story.

I informed Duma about it and he promptly told me, “Nah! I’m busy every night. I have to hold midnight conversations with my darling cupcake. No time to play games!!!” DUH! I told Yy about it the next day and the efficient gal downloaded it immediately and started playing it. That very very night, Duma was logged in and happily playing. DUMA! EAT YOUR WORDS!!!! Guess he didn’t have much of a choice, the person whom he’s holding twilight talks with is playing the game, so, in order for him to continue his chat… he simply has to play the game. Muahahahhaah!

Enough about Duma! As I was saying, I have this absolutely adorable character there. Lumino’s the name, of course, she aspires to be a fire mage in future. You can certainly tell that from her name. The older generation of people who have been playing RPG, certainly has a more vibrant imagination, when picking names for their characters, unlike the fresh, new generation. I have come across names like NinNaoHeah, LeLaoPeh, Loverboy, Inuyasha1234 (sheesh this looks like someone who can’t think of a better original name). DUH DUH! That’s Singaporean for you.

Oh yeah! I have to flash this absolutely endearing picture of Lumino.

Lumino in 2nd stage. I didn’t know how to use the snapshot function when she was in her 1st stage. Therefore, I missed her baby photo! Sob!

Lumino in 3rd stage.

Notice that the clothes get prettier as my level gets higher? Yes! You are right! I’m levelling Lumino so that she can get prettier clothes and make a fashion statement! Observe the well-coordinated colours. Arrrhhh….! If you want to play, play it with style!

*kawaii = cute (in japanese). Not so sure about the spelling though, but, you got the idea right?

An All New Sax Experience! Ahhh…!!

Just a quick scribble before my meeting at 4pm.

Yes, yes, be patient, I’m going to describe the experience right now.

It all took place on a hot, humid Saturday afternoon (last Saturday, to be precise). We gathered in a small air-conditioned room, fine-tuning our instruments (getting ready for the MASS ORGY! According to pig, mass orgy simply means some group activity, pig, right???).

I finally had my turn on stage (yeah, a stage too, kinky eh?) for the rehearsal.

Anyway, all in all, everything went well. I was one of the last few participants, so I had to wait for 1 whole hour before I got my turn. A few of them were pretty good. One of them, the youngest partipant, I believe, did a Kenny G item on his soprano saxophone. It’s supposed to be a students’ concert, hmm… I believe he must be a teacher or something, he’s too good to be a student!!!!! *Spoil market!! The other one was a flutist who’s actually on a music scholarship. The rest were almost like me… half bucket water. hee hee.

Some comments from my ardent fans who attended the concert – the music was great, everything’s in tune (I lived in fear that I would create some unearthly squeaky sound.), except, I looked like a big piece of wooden block. Hey! Considering that this was my first time on stage with an alto saxophone, I was worried that if I were to take my eyes off my book, I would play the wrong tune and of course I was too nervous to do anything else except… blow?!

Right, I have taken down the comments and shall practise way way way way in advance for my next performance. I will :
1. stop looking like a wood.
2. stop glaring at my music book.
3. move my head up and down and sideways to create more entertainment value.
4. hop around and do a breakdance number, ending on my knees and the last note.
5. perm my hair like Kenny G.

That should be enough for now.

Still, my neighbours must be very glad that they do not have to put up with my “Moonriver” renditions every night at 11pm. No choice mah! I leave the house at 9am every morning and does not get home til 1030pm at night!! My peaceful playing should lull them to sleep (hopefully).

I shall do a jazz number the next time.

*Spoil market = set too high a standard for the rest of the people to live up to.

Who says that I can only blog one time a day? I have accumulated quite a few stories in my head and they are spilling out of my ears. Sadly, I have been too busy to pick up my pen, erm, keyboard, I mean.

Somebody asked me,”Do you have THAT much stuff to write about?”

Let me see, while I was in USA, I wrote about Ugly Americans, Beautiful America. During my stint in Germany, the stories were about Picturesque Germany and a mixture of nice and “unnice” Germans.
Now that I’m back in Singapore for good, sigh, what else do I have to rave about? Horrid Singaporeans, weather, nice food….

See how the grass always seems greener on the other side of the pasture. Just another example of a dissatisfied Earthling. *grin*

Alas! My beautiful red ink splattered map has disappeared. Should have known that they wouldn’t keep the link there forever. More motivation for me to complete my world tour map project, which has been lying on the floor, choked with dust…..
