NZT where r u
In my search of a solution (NZT-48 , from Limitless), I have realised that I only have 1 goal for 2011 according to my blog - which is the exam in 2 days' time.
Which reminds me - wad happen to other goals?!
1 thing that has impressed me is that my dear friend (i called it CPF friends - cuz part time cpf noe 1) guanz has completed 21km in 2h 30mins! A stunning impressive result for a lady who only really started jogging about 1+ years back (she is much fitter den i am now). Grats for her and I hope she will have other positive results in other aspects of her life also =p
which reminded me of smtg : fatty kang, wad am I doing?
I think i shall start small. aim to be fit enough to complete a full marathon in dec (regardless of the timing!).
Since it's free... ...
I hate studying!

Chatterbox Chicken Rice
Hi Peeps
I finally have the chance to try the reowned Chatterbox Chicken Rice yesterday! haha. It's definitely not cheap! like erm $27 on the menu?
Wasn't able to take a pic cuz my HTC went for servicing.
Well, they have the chicken breast or drumstick version (of coz i ordered drumstick).
And to be honest i'm not ur usual chix rice person who will eat wif dark soya sauce, ginger, or chilli.
I'm just a plain vanilla eater.
well, u dun have to queue or anything. As for ambience, probably as O K as any other restuarant, maybe slightly better. looks high class to eat there. haha.
Verdict: i tried a few pieces of the chicken breast meat. not fantastic (abit of dry, overcooked). drumstick meat was okay ( hey i mean, how bad can it get ?). the meat was served with some vege and tomato and cucumber, portion was probably 2 times the usual chix rice u get from ur neighbourhood. The rice wasn't too bad though. not oily, with fragrance, it is those like the small rice grain verison. soup wasn't too bad (but i mean, meat n rice should be the focus of chicken rice rite).
I think I will prefer to eat those normal chix rice stall. With $27, i can at least order 1/2 chicken for myself. maybe add some dumpling soup. haha. and there's alot of nice chicken rice stalls around with cheaper prices!
Conclusion: I am a Cheapo

Repetitive things in life - in terms of working ?!
Gd Mornings peeps! (hey rick the blog isn't dead, just tt the owner is lazy)
A great sunday morning so far, except that I am still getting fatter everyday (da*n it man).
anyway I had a talk to a few friends recently. Well i guess all of us will be facing this problem , or has been thinking bout this problem, or is/are facing this problem: what kind of job is suitable for u?
Well, ppl say ops is boring. repetitive. mundane. well, in my two cents' worth of thought (maybe more at least 5 cents since this is the min denom in sg now), isn't sales, middle office, or any other industry the same?
Sales in a nutshell: u wake up everyday trying to close deals, earn more commission for urself, and but still wad u do is repetitive and 'boring' (for ppl who dun like to talk /psycho other ppl to invest).
Middle Office: ya cool for being a real analyst or maybe making recommendations to ppl, but as long as u stay in ur job scope u r constrained to do the same old stuff every day, huh?
OPS: deemed to be the most boring job in banking industry - maybe some data entry and stuff liddat. repetitive to the max, but hey, is it that bad?
If u think bout other jobs, like auditor, admin, marketing, coffee shop helper, vege stall owner etc; well, they also do the same thing everyday rite? or at least the bulk of the job is relatively the same. just that it could be considered like more alive for marketing (different products each time) but still the same thot process repeats huh? maybe jobs like project manager will be more interesting.... same as marketing.....
So, point that i'm thinking (maybe i aren't correct anyway, but hecks, this is my blog, so i can voice out my views rite? anything just comment loh... ho ho ho) is that wad kind of repetitive job can each and every1 of us endure?
maybe more ppl can endure sales cuz at least it's rewarding (commission mah).
or maybe job satisfaction ( u think that being able to market a product successfully adds to ur confidence n ego)
or maybe it's the endurance for the job prospect ( i heard that if u can endure in auditing, most prob u can promote and become a manager, but hey, are u willing to burn ur weekends also? ==> gross pay isn't too bad; ignoring the per-hour-wage conversion)
I guess my above question is also linked to how much each $ of us actually need ??
I have told my friends be4 that if i am paid 5k a month, i dun mind being a road sweeper. haha.
so den, wad kind of 'career' u want , depends on how much pressure u wanna take, $ u want to earn, and other importance of wad da career can bring to u (eg. prestige), maybe ur other half will have a huge influence too.
At the end of day, wad have u chosen?
Time for me to take a nap!

Wad do I want from life?
Hi All ,
Long time no see. my blog seems to be again dead for now. I guess this happens "regularly" now. but hey, it's not really dead, just .... erm..... hibernating.
And so I decided to post smtg today (yeah at 6am) is becos these few days has been unusual for me. Playing games everyday is usual. NOT touching wow for bout a week or more is unusual. Self-reflection is impt to me, and i take great pride in doing that once in a while.
I guess I have more or less come out with some 'results' after some experiments:
1) My spending habits need to be controlled
Not having bonus after working for 2 years is bad (coz can't save up). and not really having savings after 2 years is worse. had been at work again with the spreadsheet for a better start next year. Which i think is reasonable after some edits here n there. This will be one of my prime targets for next year - which i intend to stick to it seriously.
2) Directions in life
I realised that probably in whatever job you do, you could be sian/bored after some time. So I realised the compensation package that comes with it sorta reduces your complaint. BUT for how long? Auditors are earning much more den moi, but somehow they dun feel good when it is not in sync with their goals. I should try to learn more given the exposure I had now. And I should put in more effort into it. This should be included in one of my goals for next year also. Of course, this includes studying my cfa lvl 1 (Rarhhh).
3) Fitness
I haven't been exercising for some time. and I realised that I am not happy to see my "tires" around. If i can be affected by it, I think i should do smtg bout it too. BUT it takes time to see the results. So, with the same theory of quitting smoking, it is about picking up the jogging shoes / dumbbells a few times / everyday to exercise / workout. Hopefully I can do it and laugh at my fatty bro soon. Avoid fatty food at all times! well maybe most of da times......
Cata is coming soon! I will be back. with more action...... FOR THE HORDE!

Knowledge & Discipline
Hi peeps, just wanna share smtg that I have learnt smtg over the weekend. If you are having some problems trying to save up , you might just want to try smtg new:
Have different savings/current accounts for different purposes. It helps to make things clear - like how much you actually have in the diff accounts.... Use the Nett salary that you earned monthly and distribute/allocate it proportiately to the below mentioned accounts:
1) Financial Freedom Acct (10%) - This is the account to make passive income. and maybe investments and stuff like that. This is a very impt acct so that you are able make some money to "work" for you.
2) Education Acct (10%) - This is an account for us to upgrade our knowledge, for example, taking courses, studying cpa, cfa, masters etc etc. Remember, Knowledge is wealth!
3) Long Terms Savings Acct for spending (10%) - This is an account for ppl like me to have. as the account name suggests, it is to be used for spending (in the LONG term), for items like overseas trip and car installments!
4) Necessity Acct (55%) - This is the usual expenditure account which we will use to pay our normal food stuff, hp bills, credit cards blah blah.
5) Play Acct (10%) - This is to splurge on watever things u wanna buy / do! well, we gotta reward ourselves if we are disciplined enough to follow .....
6) Give Acct (5%) - This is to 'give' to charity .... or gifts for friends......
I think it is interesting theory! Any followers? haha

Alot of updates! DJ Ozma 's own "mmo champs" !
Dear All (this post is delicated for me bout wow)
Well, i'm not a harcore reader on MMO champions, and I believe I am one of the wow players being the "least knowledgable" bout other classes. nonetheless, and probably the least hardcore player around too. Nonetheless, the "talk" bout wow has sort of made me bothered enough to go back to MMO and browse through the diff updates~!
Blacksmithing
Blacksmith get all the happy-fun-stuff again and will create the weapons that a lot of people will use when they start raiding. Don't expect them to be easy to craft.
==> I need sponsorship! pls helps me da poor boi !
Jewelcrafting
Your epic gems are back.
==> Give it to me free! sell it to me at a discount! i need to tank~!
Dark Phoenix Mount RewardThe guild rewards you guys are seeing in game are not hooked up yet. Guild rewards have 3 requirements that must be be met before you can use them. First and foremost, they must be unlocked via a guild achievement. Let's just say, that for example, you need to complete the new guild achievement "We are Legendary" in order to unlock the Dark Phoenix. That achievement requires the guild to gain access to all 6 legendary weapons currently available in the game. (note that all guild achievements start on Cataclysm launch, so anything you have now will not matter, it must be done with your guild after launch)
So, let's say that your guild get's this achievement and thereby unlocks the Dark Phoenix on the guild vendor. At this point anyone in the guild can see the item on the vendor, but they will need a specific amount of guild faction to be able to purchase it. In this case, let's say exalted. Now, once you have the guild faction, you can purchase the item for its gold price. (prices will vary based on the reward)
I am using the Dark Phoenix and the We are Legendary guild achievement as examples here but you should get the idea. Don't worry, we wont be handing out all the goodies so easily. =)
==> I hope we can get it even as 10 men! roar!
Guild Reputation
Any quest that rewards experience to you will also reward guild experience. The amount of guild reputation earned is based on the amount of guild experience rewarded. Note that daily quests will also reward guild experience.
All guild reputation is gained as a factor of guild experience. (Source)
[...] As I mentioned in the other post, anything that grants guild xp will also grant guild facton. So that means that winning a rated BG with your guild or completing specific guild achievments will reward faction as well as completing quests or killing instance bosses. (Source)
310% Speed Flying Mount
The new 310% Speed Flying Mount skill costs 5000 gold to train.
==> 5k gold, anyone?
Goblin Mount - Goblin Trikes
Someone pointed out in a mail that the only screenshots of the Goblin mount I posted on the front page were awful, and he was right. As far as we know, the Goblin racial mount will be a Trike and just like any racial mount, the Goblin Trike Key and Goblin Turbo-Trike will be usable by all races.
==> i am going to buy a trike! wooo hooo!
Death Knight (Forums / 3.3.5 Talent Calculator / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Beta Skills/Talents)
Death Knights neglected in Cata?
"Neglect" is one of those words that typically makes developers roll their eyes and skip over to the next post. Just so you know.
Even the original DK trees are not very old compared to all the others, so in that sense, they didn't have so many layers of build up cruft that needed shaking off. We've changed up some of the mechanics that weren't working and got rid of some of the boring passive damage, but overall we didn't feel the need to replace talents like say Rime, Dirge or Killing Machine.
I'm just saying that it shouldn't come as much surprise that the most recently designed tree didn't need as much overhauling as say warrior and mage, which hadn't changed much since vanilla. (Source)
==> Suxtagen........nvm i'm going to try out blood tank!
Character Selection Screen - Built-In Theorycraft
In Cataclysm, the character screen will let you check easily how much of stat you need to be capped, calculations for Expertise, Hit Rating, and a few other stats are available. This will probably save you a lot of time when you try to figure out if you really need that extra hit on your shiny new epic.
Your ICC gear is going away in Uldum (LVL 84-85)
What gear? Uldum has zero quest rewards and the creatures are not itemized. When Uldum is itemized every single quest should offer you an upgrade, regardless of what gear you have from ICC+. (Source)
Cataclysm - Glyph Interface Preview
The new interface for Glyphs is finally available and it comes with a couple of very interesting improvements.
•The biggest change, Glyphs are no longer a consumable item. You learn them and can swap them at any time after that, without having to buy them again.
•Prime Glyphs slots have been added
•All Glyphs are now listed, including the one you didn't learn yet.
•You can search for Glyphs, and filter them.
Death Knight (Forums / 3.3.5 Talent Calculator / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Beta Skills/Talents)
•A dedicated tanking tree (Blood) has been implemented.
•The effects of Blood Presence and Frost Presence have been exchanged.
•The way in which runes recharge has changed.
Tier 11 Set Bonuses <===== SOOO COOOOL
Death Knight (Forums / 3.3.5 Talent Calculator / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Beta Skills/Talents)
•Item - Death Knight T11 Blood 2P Bonus - Increases the damage done by your Death Strike ability by 5%. / Instant
•Item - Death Knight T11 Blood 4P Bonus - Increases the duration of your Icebound Fortitude ability by 50%. / Instant
•Item - Death Knight T11 DPS 2P Bonus - Increases the critical strike chance of your Death Coil and Frost Strike abilities by 5%. / Instant
•Item - Death Knight T11 DPS 4P Bonus - Each time you gain a Death Rune, you also gain 1% increased attack power for 30 sec. Stacks up to 3 times. / Instant
So, when is the release of Cataclysm ?
Now that Patch 4.0.1 is on PTR, I get a lot of mails asking for a release date and I guess I can answer that without too much risk now.
Keep in mind that Blizzard didn't announce it because the release can still be postponed, but as far as I know the target release date for Cataclysm is the first week of November (that would be November 2, if you like numbers). The first part of the Cataclysm prologue started exactly 8 weeks before that and the next part of the pre-Cataclysm event will probably happen in 2 or 4 weeks depending on their schedule.
You got your answer, and hopefully people won't yell at me if something goes wrong.
Getting excited, anyone? less den 1 & 1/2 months more to go!

Your epic gems are back.

Dark Phoenix Mount RewardThe guild rewards you guys are seeing in game are not hooked up yet. Guild rewards have 3 requirements that must be be met before you can use them. First and foremost, they must be unlocked via a guild achievement. Let's just say, that for example, you need to complete the new guild achievement "We are Legendary" in order to unlock the Dark Phoenix. That achievement requires the guild to gain access to all 6 legendary weapons currently available in the game. (note that all guild achievements start on Cataclysm launch, so anything you have now will not matter, it must be done with your guild after launch)
So, let's say that your guild get's this achievement and thereby unlocks the Dark Phoenix on the guild vendor. At this point anyone in the guild can see the item on the vendor, but they will need a specific amount of guild faction to be able to purchase it. In this case, let's say exalted. Now, once you have the guild faction, you can purchase the item for its gold price. (prices will vary based on the reward)
I am using the Dark Phoenix and the We are Legendary guild achievement as examples here but you should get the idea. Don't worry, we wont be handing out all the goodies so easily. =)
==> I hope we can get it even as 10 men! roar!
Guild Reputation
Any quest that rewards experience to you will also reward guild experience. The amount of guild reputation earned is based on the amount of guild experience rewarded. Note that daily quests will also reward guild experience.
All guild reputation is gained as a factor of guild experience. (Source)
[...] As I mentioned in the other post, anything that grants guild xp will also grant guild facton. So that means that winning a rated BG with your guild or completing specific guild achievments will reward faction as well as completing quests or killing instance bosses. (Source)
310% Speed Flying Mount
The new 310% Speed Flying Mount skill costs 5000 gold to train.
==> 5k gold, anyone?
Goblin Mount - Goblin Trikes
Someone pointed out in a mail that the only screenshots of the Goblin mount I posted on the front page were awful, and he was right. As far as we know, the Goblin racial mount will be a Trike and just like any racial mount, the Goblin Trike Key and Goblin Turbo-Trike will be usable by all races.
==> i am going to buy a trike! wooo hooo!

Death Knights neglected in Cata?
"Neglect" is one of those words that typically makes developers roll their eyes and skip over to the next post. Just so you know.
Even the original DK trees are not very old compared to all the others, so in that sense, they didn't have so many layers of build up cruft that needed shaking off. We've changed up some of the mechanics that weren't working and got rid of some of the boring passive damage, but overall we didn't feel the need to replace talents like say Rime, Dirge or Killing Machine.
I'm just saying that it shouldn't come as much surprise that the most recently designed tree didn't need as much overhauling as say warrior and mage, which hadn't changed much since vanilla. (Source)

Character Selection Screen - Built-In Theorycraft
In Cataclysm, the character screen will let you check easily how much of stat you need to be capped, calculations for Expertise, Hit Rating, and a few other stats are available. This will probably save you a lot of time when you try to figure out if you really need that extra hit on your shiny new epic.
Your ICC gear is going away in Uldum (LVL 84-85)
What gear? Uldum has zero quest rewards and the creatures are not itemized. When Uldum is itemized every single quest should offer you an upgrade, regardless of what gear you have from ICC+. (Source)
Cataclysm - Glyph Interface Preview
The new interface for Glyphs is finally available and it comes with a couple of very interesting improvements.
•The biggest change, Glyphs are no longer a consumable item. You learn them and can swap them at any time after that, without having to buy them again.
•Prime Glyphs slots have been added
•All Glyphs are now listed, including the one you didn't learn yet.
•You can search for Glyphs, and filter them.
Death Knight (Forums / 3.3.5 Talent Calculator / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Beta Skills/Talents)
•A dedicated tanking tree (Blood) has been implemented.
•The effects of Blood Presence and Frost Presence have been exchanged.
•The way in which runes recharge has changed.
Tier 11 Set Bonuses <===== SOOO COOOOL
Death Knight (Forums / 3.3.5 Talent Calculator / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Beta Skills/Talents)
•Item - Death Knight T11 Blood 2P Bonus - Increases the damage done by your Death Strike ability by 5%. / Instant
•Item - Death Knight T11 Blood 4P Bonus - Increases the duration of your Icebound Fortitude ability by 50%. / Instant
•Item - Death Knight T11 DPS 2P Bonus - Increases the critical strike chance of your Death Coil and Frost Strike abilities by 5%. / Instant
•Item - Death Knight T11 DPS 4P Bonus - Each time you gain a Death Rune, you also gain 1% increased attack power for 30 sec. Stacks up to 3 times. / Instant
So, when is the release of Cataclysm ?
Now that Patch 4.0.1 is on PTR, I get a lot of mails asking for a release date and I guess I can answer that without too much risk now.
Keep in mind that Blizzard didn't announce it because the release can still be postponed, but as far as I know the target release date for Cataclysm is the first week of November (that would be November 2, if you like numbers). The first part of the Cataclysm prologue started exactly 8 weeks before that and the next part of the pre-Cataclysm event will probably happen in 2 or 4 weeks depending on their schedule.
You got your answer, and hopefully people won't yell at me if something goes wrong.
Getting excited, anyone? less den 1 & 1/2 months more to go!

Charge, Shield bash, icy touch, frost strike...ops....
Hi all
Recently there have been talks bout revival of WOW for Cataclysm. haha. brings back good memories how of how we down_ed ah nub though some of us (me esp) are casual weekend raiders. we put in our far bit of hard work to gain our insainity. haha. but, due to the busy schedule of each n everyone of us. wow was put on hold for now.
My blood boils for my tankasan n deddonaito ! but with even more commitments now that each one has, i guess we need a good 'strategy' to make it work!
1) backups - 10 players def arent' enough to play this. we tried it, and it is terribly tuff on the others when 1 or 2 can't make it. I estimated bout 12 players would be good. and def a mixture of classes which can cover for each other >>> tanks/melee dps/range dps/heals
2) timings - need to come out wif a good timing so that it doesn't affect everyone's social life. HI peeps i'm now in asia shift! sunday morning is a good time (cuz all the gals dun wake up tt early! =p ) but we need to consider other times also (1 timing might just not be enough for us to enjoy it)
3) stay cool - yeah, i noe sometimes wat we said over vent are fustrating, but remember, we are gd old friends. I muz apologise also, cuz i do feel angry .... haha. remember bout the tone and the way we phrase our sentences........ but bear in mind we are all working tgt for a common goal..... MY LIFE FOR AIUR! ops.... wrong place......
tt's all for now! time to work. work work!

Amazing Discovery
Well, I had my dinner wif my gay bro today. Actually, to be exact, it is me who is accompanying him eating his dinner. of coz.... i where got so nice..... haha... met up wif him to kop back my laptop and SCII (ta ma de no $ to buy desktop)
We sorta discussed over dinner why I was so freaking poor, and I realised the power of overspending. In short, by rite, we should save roughly da same amt after deducting everything. However, being the fatty me, or the non-thrifty me, sorta spend $10 more den him every day (during my employment of 2 years in citi). which is sorta an amazing sum... cuz
$10 x 365 x 2 = $7300
Den....
my phailed test + europe + thailand = around $7500 (gay bro haven't go on holiday ...)
so in total : i spent like $14,800 more den him ?!?! in 2 years ?!?!
However, when I reached home, I realised my maths was wrong cuz i was only converted to perm after so long......
$14,800 - (12 x $600) = $7600 ($600 = amount I could save up more when i'm a perm)
Plus tt farker got bonus, and he saved his bonus ..... when i have none ......
$7600 - $x (bonus) = super rough guess = $4k.
Morale of the story:
1) always save ur bonus, it all adds up
2) scrimp and save adds up alot in the long run
3) my gay bro is too thrifty, why compare to him
4) even if point 3 is true, i ought to control my expenditure from now on~ seriously
But in short , after all the deduction, i still spend $5 more den him everyday. and I can only attribute (or shift the blame) it to the LUNCH tt i bought almost day when i'm working europe shift....
Another interesting day just by comparing..... maybe he saved more den he said.....

I want to meet my friends for dinner (not too sure if they are free to do so anot though).
Yeah I know I will lose contact wif some of them after I leave the place , which will probably be sad.... but life still goes on huh......

2 years in a blink of an eye
Player A just realised recently that he has been in Shitty Bang for 2 years le. Time waits for no man..... from a guy who has just graduated to 1 that has 2 years of full-time working experience (2 yrs working exp is not alot.... nonetheless not too little to completely disregard it)
The things he had picked up during this time could be said as involuntarily in a way. (eg. tio shit/sai and OT till there's no tomolo....) However, this job that he has is definitely not the "final destination". The point is, time passes by too quickly for us to realise it.... soon A will be 28, 30, 32 , mid 30s and 40 and so on. Better do smtg rather den regret not doing it.... better to be late den nvr.......
Aniway, A realli gotta thank shitty bang for the things he picked up from there.....
