Return of my Digital Life!!!!!

Yes! It's finally here. After witnessing an OS crash on my laptop, I knew troubles spells. but Never did I knew it took so long for it to come back for me to use!!! Thought about going to fix it by spending a few bucks but the IT technican were out to con me. DAMN U!

Long story cut short, went for servicing. Waited and waited until today. 2 long weeks.

2 long weeks indeed. But to me, it opened up a new perspective and direction in life. Things which u never thought about nor see. I experienced it after the 'loss' of my laptop. The importance of bondings between family and friends. Family bonding especially, I seriously lack of it when I spent most of my time facing my laptop than to them. I was rather happy being able to bond with them. Who doesn't?

I recall the last time I had a good chat with my father was in Primary school??? My god. Come to think of it, no wonder these years my relationship with my dad has been worsening. I guess it's time to savage the situation before it become worst. Well at least my relationship with my mum is good. At least better than my dad's.

Other than bonding session, reading, watching TV. I look for jobs coz' am too bored. Holiday are bored and yet relaxing(how contridicting....) so nothing to do is = rotting your precious time away. why not get a job or wat and make it useful. Found some, but turn out to be crappy. Great job! So these and that plus bad mood because of no usage of internet, makes me dun wanna go out. Ar well next time guys n gals. =D

Btw I gt myself a new phone. LG camera phone. Slim n trendy. Best is the 5 megapixels camera.
Next time post a pic of it. Now gt to enjoy my shows. Later ppls!~

Yet another boardgaming day

Decided to visit Settler's Cafe @ SMU, played our usual game Settler of Catan but this time round along with the expansion set Cities & Knights. Trouble comes when YS accidentally knock over his coke on the tiles and counters. o.O! Delayed several minutes before commencing on the game itself.


Setup tiles of the 2nd round
YS pondering on his next moves....

Soon Teck observing the tiles to plan for his next moves
The games ends with Teck(blue) as the winner (again...), achieving 14 points. YS runner up, me last -.-
After which we decided on another game which is my favourite: Citadels!!!

Celebrating Brenda's Birthday at YS hse

Today is Brenda's birthday and I forgot to gave her wishing at 12am. Crap. Luckily I looked at her blog this afternoon and quickly sent her a late sms wishing her Happy Birthday. Thank God she's not angry wif me since I promised to bake her exactly 19 chocalate cupcakes.

Shitty stuff happens when the cupcakes din turn out as perfect as it were, candles without the stands so we can't put candles on the cupcakes and we just sang the usual song for her. Wierd indeed. I think she minds,but that's the best we can do for her...eh could have done it better. Damn

But nevertheless, we did enjoy a day of fun playing Citadels n poker cards,watching some shows which I forget the name of it...

Recollection of Childhood...n bringing it to our Age!

Boardgames has gotten in my life and I simply love it. Be it interactive or those draggy hours where it will wear ur minds off thinking what tricks your opponents will come up with. I just simply love them.

My first encounter with boardgames when I was rather small, hmm let's see 8 I suppose? I played typical boardgames whic are rather classic ( Monopoly, Risk, Upwords, Scrabble, Game of Life, MasterMind and chess of all type) I get to play these mostly with my parents and sometimes friends. Yound kids at that time play toys and some little electronics device (GameGear I bet u nvr heard of it, Gameboy, Digivice o.O, Beyblade, Tamiya and more...) and of course lots of cartoons(Pokemon,Digimons)

Well apparently after 12-13 years,things changed totally, people starts to get not as close to each other anymore...in a sense they bond electronically. Msn,facebook,yahoo,gmail,blog,friendster etc. Online, digital games bond them, not other things else. I bet teens would craze over end of Digital Age.

Well thank god there's entertainment which does not require the usage of digital stuff. Cards n board games. I simply love the both of them. People's 1st thought "Who the heck plays boardgames nowadays?" I'll reply, "I do, and millions of people around the people do". People gather in person to bond with each other so as to establish better relationship with each other as well as relax their mind will enjoying themselves in the world of that particular boardgame. That's what I call doing childhood stuff in Digital Age.

Oh ya, gonna try new things. Buy new phone such that I can film myself n post the video here.My current phone sucks n the contract is almost up. Great timing yeah!

Random things: I have more boardgames than my 10 fingers....-.-"
