Along time ago, in a galaxy far far away...

Yup, that was the opening word of Star Wars movies or trilogies. I downloaded the Star Wars Galaxies trial account which gave me 14 days of free playing. Then players can decide to keep continue playing or not, if they do, they have to order the game copy as full version. So I started to play it in trial version. It was good, it is bigger and more complicated than UO. After 3 days running around and wandering from spot to spot as Padawan (aka noob), I decided to buy the CD as full version.

It offers you a massive place to explore, gathering resources, building houses, hunting beasts, etc. And it has a big planetary system where you can travel between planets using starshuttle. Skills? Geez, they have big and wide skills and it allows you to cross your skill to one another. So basically you will get different title when you cross one of your profession with your other profession. Making droids, dancing, healing others, etc.

So, anything news people? I hope you all doing ok. This winter is so cold, prolly the coldest I ever been. It's supposed to be sunny and nice this month as winter has passed but we still have some rainy days and very cold cold icy nights.

What's next?

Ok, if you think you're just having a bad day or feeling gloomy, worry no more! I'm telling you my day, today which didn't run so well. First, when my girl asked me to go to the bank, to get a balance report of her account. She gave an authorization letter to show that I can get the report on behalf of her. So I went to the bank, queue up for a while, then when my turn came, guess what.. I was in the wrong bank! Strike one! &@#@%! Because my girl has accounts in more than two banks I guess..

Next, I went to the uni, I was in a hurry and... I took the wrong train!! Strike two!! Basically, today I spend half of it in clumsiness LOL. What's next? I've been in the wrong toilet, been to the wrong nightclub! That was funny tho, about 3 years ago, me and Steve, my adventurous, alcoholic, party-addict friend, went up to the Chinatown looking for a good pub or club to land for us to piss all night long. We went up to this little, shadowy night club. We got some booze for us, and went to a corner. Not until when I almost finish my drink that both of us started to realize that most of the couples are.. ermm.. homosexual. Lady danced with other lady, a guy hugs another guy. The next second, we got off thru the roof exit and laughing our ass off next to the street LOL.

Anyway, I'm sure one day I'll take the wrong flight to Himalaya or somewhere remote hehehe

What's next? I went up to Priceline because my girl wanted to get some liquid bandaid. While we were there, I visited to man's section, and browsing thru the shaving blades and shaving cream part. Then my pretty brown eyes glanced at this shaving blade Shick Quattro. FYI: Quattro means four. Yup, you've guessed it. Those little sharp pricks intact side by side to the thing. Mach 3 from Gillette is already good, four is better.. I guess. And they claim to be the world's first four-blade-shaver. Oh hell yeah, sooner or later someone will claim to be the world's first five-blade-shaver. I mean, why we have to do it in order? Why don't we just jump the number up to... ten for example? Maybe at the end of 2020 we will have a shaver with bloody 10 blades attached. Then you can grate some potatoes using it LOL.

What's next? Good question. Yesterday I went to shop some groceries with my girl. While she's looking for something, I waited for her next to the frozen food section. I read some of the frozen food in the shelf. Reading those frozen food was like reading an a la carte menu in a fine dining restaurant. Curry prawns with long grain rice, Sweet and sour pork in fried rice, Sweet soy chicken and honey, etc, and I talked to myself "Does anyone really eat these kind of food?" Have you tried to eat spaghetti in a can? Indeed, they look and sound yummy but I don't really like them. Who knows they have artificial prawns? :P Then I asked myself again "What's next?" Make an instant full-size T-bone steak into powder then just pour hot water on it and voila! a steak on the plate? But don't take it as an offence, this is just my opinion tho :) It's like watching those sci-fi movie or superheroes movie at the cinema.

Talking about superhero, which one is your fave? We've seen Superman fighting for justice for more than a decade, and we've seen Batman and Robin kissing helping each other to fight the evil side. Punisher, Daredevil, etc, etc. But my fave is Spiderman. Why Spiderman? because he's the one that closest to the reality. Cmon, you think you won't recognize Clark Kent when he's in his gay great suit? Hello? It's only glasses anyway. Spiderman is good because he's having a full mask. I think, for being a superhero where your real identity is an absolute secret, you should wear a full mask or not at all. Batman has a mask, half-mask, exposing half of his face uncovered. That is bad, it's like teasing us to find who he really is. So, yeah, Spiderman is my fave superhero. Sorry? How about Hulk? Hulk reminds me of Arnold Schwarzenegger, they both look like a condom fulled of walnuts, except for Hulk, it's a giant green condom fulled with mountain rocks. Hehehehe no offence!

Oh well, I'm off now! Cya later!!

Look who's back !

Woot! I'm back! *hugs and kisses* (in case if some of you miss me so much LOL)

Well, been busy for the last week, Irwan's girlfriend, Mia aka Mijung, visiting us from Melbourne. So me and my girl went out with them, we went to the zoo, to Freo (they have yummy fish and chips there), watching I, Robot.

And I've been busy to get visa extension. All looks good, hopefully everything will be done at the end of this week or beginning of next week.
