As per my previous blog posts, I am back in Maple in Dec 08 and have since gotten my HornTail Pendent and Egg. The only thing that I am dying for right now is my base skill book; Angel Ray! I have set aside 18 skill points for it currently. Haha~ Been to over 10 sessions of Zakum but none has drop the base book for Angel Ray…. Wo Shi Suey bong bong~ I still remember my Zakum Helmet was achieved by myself on the 22nd November 2006 at around 4.15am. During those days, it was very difficult to enter the altar as there was no such thing as Squad List / Timetable. Not easy to defeat the stationary Zakum as well because the party inside might not be strong enough. On that fateful night, I started spamming the ‘up’ button at 8pm and took a nap till 2am (ok… 6 hrs is not exactly a nap).When I opened my eyes, I saw the screen of my monitor went dark and I panicked; I thought I got disconnected, but luckily it wasn’t so. I got into the altar and began clicking on every character that entered the Altar successfully to determine if the party is strong. I smiled to myself and was assured that the Zakum will be defeated. After 2hours of fight, my little Lovely Panda looted one helmet for me and I jumped in joy. That night, I was too happy and couldn’t go back to dreamland. I stayed awake till the next morning, still smiling to myself. Haha! Last few weeks, after achieving my pendent and egg, I don’t have the same feeling anymore. Maybe it is because there is such a service that helps players achieve whatever they want hence there is no sense of satisfaction and achievement like before. Anyway, I am still glad that I managed to get the ‘egg’. LOL. Am chionging level(s) nowadays and will start slacking when I have to concentrate on my studies. Japanese Language Course & Corp. Secretarial Course will start in March and July respectively.

I’ve always been a 半桶水 in both English and Mandarin. Haha.
Just now, I called a law firm in Taiwan to ask for a certified true copy invoice to be sent to me so I can proceed with the payment. I told her I need a hard copy of invoice as my accounting dept cannot make payment with the PDF one, but my tongue was tied. LOL.
I squeezed my brain and drained every drop of the juice in it trying to communicate with the friendly PIC in mandarin. In the end, I managed to convey my message over with a mixture of English and Mandarin conversation. Luckily she understands what is Hard Copy, Soft copy, Invoice and Courier. Phew! Btw, what are these words in mandarin huh?
My division now is a little quiet as a few of them went on a business trip. Small boss came back with a large packet of Korean Seaweed and flew off to Bangkok yesterday. Big boss came back with a box of butter cookies from Tokyo for each of us and flew off to Korea. Second boss sighed because he needs to fly to New Delhi next week. Haha! He just didn’t like the place, the people and the food in India. Poor him.
One of the Japanese bosses from Tokyo flew in for a meeting and gave me a box of snack. I thought to myself; Huh? Butter cookies again??? I tear the wrapper and gave a F6 expression. Banana butter cookie. 0_o

I tried one and couldn’t help reaching for another one right after I munched the first. Wow! It’s super yummy! At first bite, its butter taste but after awhile, the aroma of banana filled my mouth. Wooot. *Reaching out for the last pack of it.*

I had a very happy weekend last Saturday and Sunday, back to the good old mapling days.Once again, I had never regretted playing or to be exact, got addicted to Maple Story. It gave me wonderful memory and never failed to bring laughter when I was down.
I went to bubu jie’s house and had a little gathering with the ex-EvilSaintz members. We never fail to chat endlessly about maple la… haha…
Ever since I returned to Maple in Dec 2008, I am once again addicted to it although my TMA 32 (I think) earring and TMA 20+ glove are lost. I do not mind spending hundreds of dollar just to rebuild my character; it is worth it (at least to me). Added back most of my buddies and a few of them are surprised to see me back in action. Haha! I am glad that most of them still remembers me and had also generously lent a helping hand. I got my HT necklace and am waiting for my turn to be ‘egged’. I will proudly post a ss of my egged Horntail necklace after I receive it in about one week’s time. F3. Tonight, I will scroll Maple Warrior book 2. heh heh, thanks to ‘Brad’ who negotiated the price. On Wednesday, I will scroll my Zakum helmet. Wish me luck pl0x.
Since I had already got the bags I wanted, I shall not buy bags again because I want to save this money to rebuild my LovelyAnt to a powderful Ant. LOL. Of course, I will need to level up fast to pump my Genesis and MW skill. Chiong ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh………………….
Update: i failed 2 books of maple warrior 2 ytd night... sob si...... T_T

I am blogging with Microsoft word in office now because I don’t wana look too obvious doing ‘illegal’ thing. Haha! So today’s post is cut and paste from my word document. Hee hee.I am sure most of the residents in Spore has heard of St. Regis, the new ‘prestigious’ (I will explain why I ‘bracket’ it later) hotel in town. Colleagues and I (total 6 of us for the 1st batch) were invited to go over for a site inspection and a dinner, thinking that it will be a good experience I went. Boy! I was so wrong; this is the WORST hotel inspection I have attended.
The sales director (ya, this someone with lousy PR skill is a director ok?) who is in charge of our account is SL. She seems to be in her mid 40s with thick make up, ugly eye shadow and fake smiles. Hey, no matter how many times you smile to us, we can still sense that it is a Fake one. Hypocrite!
Firstly, she made us, THE CUSTOMER waited for 15mins just because she is in a meeting. She agreed to meet us at 6pm, so she should have scheduled her meeting to end before the said time! We encountered the same thing at Raffles Hotel the other time, but at least the sales person got her assistant to treat us drinks at the bar while waiting. Make us feel good and we shut up, tio bo? Hrmpf! FYI, We never waited more then 5mins for the sales person to greet us when we reach the other hotels.
We then told each other that it is ok; let’s try to be understanding even though we knew she is trying to 耍打牌 because it is tooooo obvious. We waited at the lobby all along before she finally came over to greet us.
The lobby – so-so nia. Not grand nor beautiful. Lose to Shangri-la.
The room - It's really gorgeous, but i still prefer Ritz Carlton's.
Cosy mood lighting in the room, you can change the 'mood' of the lighting.
Couch in the room.. nice hor?
The coolest thing in the bathroom is the tv in a mirror. Cool~P/s: my camera phone sucks la.. so its blur and the lighting of the picture is bad too.
After viewing the rooms, function rooms, spa facilities and swimming pool, we went to the duno what ahchipalia restaurant... i was hoping to go Yan Ting for dinner but i think she cannot afford to entertain us there la....
Also for the first time, we were not offered any drinks for dinner.... we had only ice water throughout and tea after dessert. -_-"
As for the food.... worst then a buffet restaurant loh. She order 4 pizzas to share and mind you, all the 4 pizzas are of the same!!! Duh.... Furthermore, it is topped with beef slices and she didn’t even bother to check if there is anyone who cannot take beef. Nothing nice during the dinner at all. The worst is her attitude and replies to us which were very annoying.. i shall narrate it here in dialogue form.
SL: (asking one by one) What dept are you from? How many meeting is usually held?
When Jen and I replied that we were from Corporate Division (I am from Legal and Jen is from HR), she immediately skipped us and went on to the next colleague. We felt upset and angry at the same time. Why? A corporate division has got no guest visits or no meeting? I booked at least 20 rooms for 2 nights each at Pan-Pacific Hotel in December, 5 rooms at Marina Mandarin and another 5 rooms at M Hotel. Although it is not a lot as compared to the business units, but at least I am also a customer and a guest wad. Argh.
SL: Oh i will send a Bentley over to fetch your guest over. Btw, do you know how does a Bently looks like?
Rest of us: -______________________-" *speechless*
Deep in my heart: Yeh of cos we know la, you think Mitsui is a tiny weeny little company and the staffs are sua ku ah? Nowadays TAXI also got Bently la.. u think we dont watch news, read the papers or surf internet de meh? Pui pui pui.
