  • Dear Diary...

    Dear Diary,

    Another twist and turn in the winding road of life, I am moving again. A sense of nervousness creeps in.

    Hong Kong --> Singapore --> Shanghai --> USA

    I came here one summer checking out several universities in different states. And then I made my choice, Fort Wayne, Indiana. August 2004, I arrived here. In 2005, I had to go back to eat well to recover from problem with the appendix. I prayed and I came back healthy in August 2006. I have also moved out from the IPFW dorms in March of 2008 to Golfview Apts, and then not long after also moved across to the other building of that same complex. And today, I am preparing to make a major move of my life once again.

    A feeling of emptying once again, I have made so many friends here. As I write this, I began to feel that emotion. That one emotion, similar to being the only one in the apartment and typing this up. Loneliness in such a way that I will once again feel when I move to my new destination, France. I know I have two friends who will be going there as well but I will be leaving behind all the present friends (both in real life and through friends on Facebook, online friends on games which I play) I have made throughout these years. Reflecting on almost 6 years now in the US, I am glad to say that I have learned a lot, improved my English (to the least of my knowledge I have been told by many friends).

    The air in my room is thinning. I feel like I am out of my body and drifting. I can even hear myself taking in each breath of how it smells in my room. I want to remember that smell like my old room in the condominium which I lived in Singapore. That sense of home has just been carved like the rug that spells "Home sweet home", and then I am moving again.

    How different can this feeling be compared to finals week drawing closer and closer? I say to myself: You have done it before, and you are not going to have any trouble doing it again. You can do this.

    Today, I just went to the bank to inform them that I will probably be using my credit cards overseas. Moving is such a pain and not knowing your permanent address yet is like a lost rabbit being lost in the woods.

    I don't know why I am feeling this when I have done this so many times already. I guess I thought I have almost finally settled down to not move again for some time but moving this many times trigger my unwillingness to move. I remember the nearing weeks when I had to leave Singapore for Shanghai. It was really really hard for me, I have lived there for a decade. Living in the US, despite the struggle to cope with the food every so often, I love it here very much. I know it is only going to be almost a year away but it really feels like going to be a lifetime.

    I will have to put on that courage mode once again.

  • Resto Druids Boot solution.. sigh

    If only the healer here wasn't using item level 245 pvp boots with 18 spirit boot enchant, I would have gotten these today! Herebelow:

    I even made a macro that says: "/say Pit of Saron Heroic/Normal drops Clothie Boots, they are also good for Resto Druids, unless  you need those boots, please kindly "GREED" that Blizzard has no real Druid Resto Boots until you do BIG RAIDS. Thank you much. Check WoWhead."

  • Some interesting screenshots...

    FTA early in the morning :)

    first part:

    25mins later:

    22mins after that:

    26mins after that:

    Finally got some new trinkets for feral (was using Essence of Gossamer and Meteorite Whetstone [this one is still pretty powerful]):

     
    Finally some trinkets for the feral side.


    Check that rolling, I didn't just take it.

  • A Justified Loss to a Need Roll

    In this following case this morning at 0733AM 23June2010,
    I lost the roll to a hunter but remember my argument, he's level 80 and he showed me his previous cloak, it's a HUUUGE upgrade for him but it makes sense, he is a LEVEL 80, he can USE IT IMMEDIATELY. A small upgrade for me from i219 to i232...

    Here's the screenshot of the roll and that he is infact a current level 80:


  • Look at this...WoW GMs...

    Look, he's wearing his resto gear, just respec his main spec... and then he's wearing the Agility Cloak now on his resto gear...

    he leveled oh woopie doo but check out when he just leveled...

    and!

    yes he turned 80 finally... but


    Oh look, his headpiece is not the agility one that you can get at Drak'Tharon Keep as well, why is he wearing a new agility cloak when he's got the one he took from me when I was the healer when he was the level 79 shaman, now 80 and using the agility one:

    to sum up, he didn't level 80 until the next day... well after and not before the server maintenance as he promised in the 1st-ever screenshot:

    and then he got the SP cloak before he got to level 80, and he got another cloak (the agi one) again BEFORE turning 80, and like my 2nd scrnshot of this post, he's not wearing the first one he took at level 79. Both cloaks obtained before level 79 but that's not the point I am only making, needing for upgrade is correct, but when I can wear it already and he's not wearing the one he should be wearing (the one he took from me).

  • "URGENT! To your attention."

    It has come to my deepest concern about the fact that I was going to put off a four-semester practice of doing homework from 8am to almost Noon, which has had worked out quite reasonably as far as my grades are concerned. For my first two semesters studying here at IPFW, it has been duly noted that for me, working on my homework or studying at night, doesn't do me justice as I will or it will cause a greater tendency to do a poorer job or even to procrastinate, or since there is still time, I would only do half of it and then perhaps forget to finish off, thus not having the homework done. And I am not saying that this current method has perfected the completion of every single homework, but I find it quite disrespectful that my schedule has not been respected, this is kind of redundant English but I have to re-iterate that it has come right in my face.

    I am most certainly not at the best of moods because I seemed to have no-say as to my own schedule at this point but I hope that I will hear from your soon about your schedule and we will figure it out.
