I'm moving there. I feel that Blogger is not keeping up with the times, and that its functionality is very limited.

Updates stopped for this blog. Last post 20 August 2013.

Oh heck, I'll try to post some updates.

ORD: 5 March 2012

Well what do you know, a month and a half left.

After considering my offs and leaves, I have slightly under 30 working days left. For the 2 weeks after the CNY week, almost the whole battalion will be off for exercise overseas, so those 2 weeks will be pretty chill with nothing to do.

My boss changed on the 4th of January, and thankfully, the new one is pretty good as well. He's more or less the same as the previous one, and I'm really thankful for that. I can have peace for my last 2 months.

On a side note, the internet in my unit has been down for almost 3 months. Someone plugged the internet cable into an OA, and I have no idea what's going on now. I bet they're purposely not enabling it. After all, it's been enabled for the commanders. Well, at least I have the MINDEF Forums. It's an awesome place.

I'm pretty damn scared of going to University after 2 years of inactivity. My brain is really rusty. I better go start revising soon. Not sure if I'll have the mood to do so though, I'm even having a bit of trouble reading fiction books in camp. Really sleepy and lethargic. Even after almost 2 years of this, I'm still not used to waking up at 6am in the morning. I can't wait to stop waking up so early.

Anyway, I've started playing WoW again. I never actually intended to pick it up again. I just decided to log in one fine day, to sell items that I guessed would be worthless when Cataclysm hits (I'm on a private server). Then I got a whisper from a guildmate from a guild I joined in October last year. And well, damn, I started playing it again.

Well, I would say I'm having fun, definitely better than the experience in a previous guild I was in. They're much better in terms of skill, and it's a Singaporean guild, so it's a pretty nice place to be.

Amazingly I managed to strike off many games from my "to complete" list. I never completed Dawn of War 2 and Space Marine. It's just horrible, and I'm contemplating getting rid of War In The North as well. It's very similar to Space Marine - draggy, repetitive, no real purpose other than story.

Sounds like so many other games out there. Just make a damn movie if you want to make your game like that.Gosh.

So I'm really left with Skyrim and Shogun 2. Shogun 2 isn't exactly a completable game, so I'm not sure if that's on the list. Skyrim? Well, I've been playing it for a long time already, and it seems like I'm barely a third through the game. I'm not sure if I have the willpower to carry on. The game doesn't exactly get better as you progress, and I'm getting rather sick of running around and whacking things over and over again.

Sigh.

Games are really starting to suck nowadays.
