Been playing Heroes 5. 6 hours for one stupid mission. I think i have to stop playing it for a while.

Totally unnecessary waste of time just trying to get ur hero from one place to another. They should let the hero walk faster when he levels up. And probably some other mechanic to get troops to ur hero so that he wouldnt have to walk across the whole map back to town to collect more troops.

I want to start watching movies daily and clear them off my com. It's getting irritating to see them just sitting there untouched. I dun really appreciate the amount of dead space they are taking up.

Dead space. Haha pun.

Ya i would prefer to have a hot but not pretty wife than a pretty but unsexy wife. Figure matters more in my opinion.

It's better to know exactly what you want than to know that you just want something different.

This NBA playoffs are full of upsets and sweeps.

I highly doubt Apple products are idiot proof cos i have a idiot of a friend in Sherwin and he clearly has no clue to how to work his new iPod at all. And i think he's giving up on it soon cos i'm refusing to help him.

The weather is fucking hot. And it rained for like 10 mins just now. Cmon it can be cooler. But dun rain when i wanna play ball. Please.

Think my ball is going to chui already. Showing signs of the "leather-loss" and since the first day i got it it's already out of shape. Pissing me off when i wanna dribble it. Always check the ball for lumps and etc before you buy it. And do not ask for a new deflated one! And do not deflate the ball hoping that it will reduce the size for easy gifting. Your giftee will hate you.

I'm a nice brother. It took me 5 months to voice out my displeasure for a very failed Christmas present. I will play it till the day the ball cannot last anymore. Promise.

If i can dribble a fucked up ball, imagine what i can do with a good one. ^^

After today's meal at Cugini, i realise i'll never be a person that will enjoy fine dining.

How much would you pay for a wonton/dumpling? 20 cents? 50 cents?

I paid 5 dollars for one. $25 for 5 in fact.

To be honest i really didn't know that ravioli is actually italian dumplings. And that "high class" dumplings actually cost $5 each. I put brackets because the place wasn't really atas. You have to sell food that is more expensive if u wanna be atas. Jack's place and Fish n Co sell food at around the same price range. And they are not atas at all.

But at least Cugini served distilled water.

And i cannot appreciate distilled water either. It has no minerals.

And that cost $6 per litre (through eyeballing). Tap water is close to free.

Dumplings are dumplings. Which country they come from doesn't matter. They taste more or less the same, given the same sauce. And tap water is as good as distilled water, just that distilled water is very useful for chemistry experiments. Nothing else.

I never knew dumplings could give me such a stunning revelation in life. I shall now try not to eat in a atas establishment, cos it's a completely waste of time and money, which could used to spend on more material goods. Good food requires good money i agree, but dumplings should never be more than 50 cents.

Now i really think being atas is bullshit. If you are atas, you are bullshit.

But i must say fine dining is the perfect way to lose weight. U really eat a whole lots less than usual (like 5 dumplings, cut the carbs!), you drink perfectly clean distilled water, and the cost of it all keeps u poor enough to not afford anymore food. Less input, same output = weight loss. No wonder all the atas people look so good. They eat atas food to stay in shape.

Dumplings are good for you.

This is currently my favourite song of the moment, one of the rare few songs that i bother with the lyrics:



I think the chorus is very well written:
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin’ to do

I also like the fact that it's kinda cross-over between RnB and country. The mandolin the background just gets to me.

Speaking of songs, I'm working on something new. Easy listening feel good song as Johnson aptly described. Kinda funny in a way as it's poking fun at someone. Simply put, when it rains so bad, stupid ideas get into Chang's head.

Don't know why, but i like to write simpler songs lately. Guess age is getting to me.

Gotta have to make lotsa life decisions soon. House, money, wedding. Everything is plans plans plans. To be frank, i don't really have a concrete plan. I've yet started work, and i don't really have a good feel of money. How much is enough, how much is not enough. Finding out is one thing, knowing that i would actually be willing to spend that amount is another issue. Just have to take it as it comes.

Never knew there's so many sides to consider. But we'll work out it in the end right? :)

I'm loving my new pair of SS2G bball sneakers. Definitely comfy-er than the old one, no blisters yet, and feels just as lightweight. All for just 5 dollars more. Worthy "upgrade". I'm using the old pair as my room training shoe as i realised tt working out barefeet in the house will cause lotsa problems like slipping and random blisters on the soles. Yea you don't wanna know what i exercises i'm doing. Tough stuff.

Starting on a new shooting routine. I used to make like a 100 threes and a 100 twos like randomly all over the place, then i decided that it's too random and doesn't focus the shot, so i chose like 5 spots (baseline, wing, key) and make 20 from each spot. Now instead of that, i decide to make like 4 consecutive threes, and 6 consecutive twos from each spot, similar to what i was doing for free throws ( i make at least 10 consec). It's kinda tougher, cos it adds more pressure, and eliminates the random bullshit shots that just happen to go in. You actually have to make each shot count now. Twos are still ok, cos i'm already quite good with that (abt 70%?) but i'm struggling with threes. Yea hitting the three pointer slump again. I'll just have to work on it more. It just kinda sucks when the sky looks like it's going to rain on you, so u have to rush and try to finish it, and yet when u rush u miss. Gah.

The playoffs this year is very interesting. The East especially. I think the top seeds will be happy to play the Bulls and Sixers and try to avoid the Pistons. Never know when Rasheed will wake up and take over. I'd take Cleveland and Boston for the eastern finals, Lakers and probably Houston for western finals. But then again T-Mac has never made it past the first round, and now he's kinda out, maybe they have a chance.

Ok lost my train of thoughts. Bye
