All I want for Christmas

23 11 2009

is my two front teeth my working TF10s..

I think this will be my first and last pair of second hand items – it just totally proved me right. Though I have no idea if the problems fall with the cables, or the drivers. I suspect it’s the cables, but I’m not sure.

Sigh. How?

I want a working pair of triple driver earphones, and I want to recable it with either the enyo or the lune cable. And perhaps a Zune HD 32GB to go with it – I was checking it out this morning, and it’s USD289.

Throw in an e-reader, maybe the Nook or the Kindle, and I’ll be happy for christmas.

Demanding, aren’t I? :P





Ghost Trappers!

11 11 2009

This has been keeping me up for several nights, keeping me glued to my computer screen and making me not wanting to go sleep – for a simple reason. I stumbled (more like, recently found out) about the value of my seemingly miscellaneous contract parts, hence I stay up to monitor prices for the inventory I have. I find places that sell Nessys, not that I am at the level to use them yet, but now I know I don’t have to continually invite friends to earn Nessys for future hunts and raids.

Wee hours like this, is when the trading market is as active as the stock market. Selling threads are pushed to the 2nd or the 3rd page within matter of minutes and small little sales threads (like mine) disappear into the ocean of threads because my items are not as sellable as they are. However, it makes a huge difference to my currency account as I need the moolah to purchase the next mechanism and magic circles that will allow me to trap higher level ghosts at higher level places.

I wait online, in vain, for sellers to respond, and for people to respond to my sales thread because in this stock market, it’s all about timing. Active sales threads mean your items move fast. If you don’t respond within 5 minutes, there are plenty of other alternatives in the market for other buyers to choose from, at equally competitive prices. It’s similar to how friends ask you out, only when you respond 6 hours later they tell you that the appointment has been filled up.

Undercutting is abound as there are no fixed prices, and with the exception of a rare few contract parts, the rest don’t exactly subscribe to the supply and demand logic. Crazy sellers undercut the prices by pricing it so cheaply that the average, then becomes expensive. How horrid, you’d think – but that’s life, isn’t it.

I really should be sleeping, but as a old school gamer who sticks by the 1st seller she approaches, I’m still waiting in vain for my seller to respond – and take the time to think really, do I really need that black candle parts set right now when my xp level is not high enough for it yet? It’s almost like in real life, when you constantly ask yourself the question – do I really need that new top/facial product/tech toy/bag of the month?

Finally, when the browser feels overworked and refuses to load the trading page as promptly as it should, I know that it is time for me to give up, and to turn in – so that I can feel refreshed to face the challenges of tomorrow, attempting to sell my inventory and trap ghosts all again.

It’s just another cycle, but then again – so is Life.





Mobile Themes @WP

21 10 2009

Awesome news! Thank you WordPress! This is one of the main reasons why I’ve been such a big fan of WP. Jumped onto the WP wagon and never looked back at blogger ever since, unless of course, required for online assignments.

Tried accessing my own blog through my G1 and I absolutely loved it!

I saw this on Techcrunch and I am seriously hooked! If this comes to Singapore next year, I’m so gonna get it for sure! This will reward me for holding out on Hero!

That’s if, it comes to Singapore, especially since it’s tied to Verizon.

Maybe I can ship it in! Awesome!





Google Reader

I can spend hours and hours and hours on my Google Reader, and still not get bored by it all.

Help.

Gulps.

Small small world.

28 07 2009

Turns out, the wedding that BX attended on Saturday, was not only his jc classmate’s wedding, but my primary school classmate’s wedding.

How small can the world get? Like just that teeny weeny smaller. I’d probably see it more as our worlds have been overlapping, we just failed to see that because of how we met, and the circumstances in which we got together. And then as time goes by, more and more common events, and friends might pop out from somewhere, we just don’t expect them coming.

Can you imagine, had I been BX’s plus one (when he told me about it in March this year, I vaguely remember he told me around that timeframe), how would things have turned out? This is quite amusing actually. When he said that the girl was of my age, I did ask him the academic background of the girl, cuz I thought hey I might actually know this girl. Gut feel, as some might call it. However, when he told me that the girl went to VJC (his bad, not mine), I just put the thought aside and shrugged it away.

How funny was that, I logged onto FB this morning (I didn’t want to start work so early, you see) and I saw a ex-RCY mate post her batchmate’s wedding online. So I thought hey I probably know who was getting married, and BX’s classmate’s face was staring straight back at me when the picture loaded. How did I recognise his classmate – through BX’s FB album of the wedding (he did not have any pictures of the bride you see).

I am still pretty tickled by this astounding fact, actually. Hahaha.

I’m starting up a new blog (yes yet again, please don’t sigh) but that will be specifically for my students. Students don’t have access to this blog, they have access to this. You could pop by and interact with them (and me!), that’s if they leave comments on my blog. Lols. That blog will remain purely academic – for students and perhaps, school/staff only.





Feeling silly.

18 07 2009

I brought my Protege out yesterday to attempt to do work, only to realise that I didn’t have wireless at Raffles City – a little odd, considering I thought the Wireless@Sg coverage should definitely cover that.

I brought my Protege out today to JP Starbucks to try and do the same thing – only to realise I didn’t have wireless again. I started suspecting that Windows 7 might have tampered with my network drivers and adaptors – so I tried to disable and enable them again.

Then I had a nagging suspicion that something was really not quite right. Slowly, I looked over at my wireless switch on the side of the Protege.

The switch was on the off side. My wireless was not switched on. -.-

I feel like a silly idiot. :( :(

Sims 3: The Story of Alice and Kev

12 06 2009

Early this morning, when I’ve just barely stumbled out of bed, I stumbled upon this. 

The Story of Alice and Kev- Sims 3 Simulation

Have a read – it’s an ingenious way of playing Sims 3!
