M&M (More & More!)

Damn I'm getting flooded with games to play.... there are a bunch of games I want to play but haven't gotten around to getting it; Smash Bro Brawl, Silent Hill 2, 3, Origins, Homecoming, Dead Rising among many others. On top of that I still have all the previous games which I haven't finished as yet. I've technically finisehd RE: Umbrella Chron but I'm trying to get S rank for each stage on each difficulty so its taking me quite a bit of time. Mario Galaxy is 1/3 done, think I have 48 stars at the moment. Played some Ninja Gaiden 2 from chapter 5; its so damn hard I'll consider it finished if I actually play through the rest of the chapters. Haven't really touched the other games yet, but I will eventually.

Played SF4 a fortnight ago after stopping for nearly a month plus. Now I remember why I got so hooked up on the game; its really fun dammit! Ugh if I return to playing SF4 again there's no way I'll be able to finish my collection of games. What's more, KOFUM98 is coming out for the XBox360; I won't be buying it myself but damn will I be going to my friend's hse to play online. Geez I need to set some time off to finish these games.... lessee I have 15 days leave left....

CFA Classes Begin...

I've taken up Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) classes recently, taking up 6 hrs each week. 2 reasons why I took this course: one, it fits my job scope which involves some financial analysis and statistics. Two, its completely free and paid for by my company without any bondage required. The first part of the course costs a whopping 8,000; who the heck has that kind of money unless you're a CEO or sth? Its crazy shit... and there are 3 courses in order to gain the full cert so that's like 24,000 down the drain. Plus you have to pay a set fee each year to retain the cert. Sigh... its true what they say; you need money to get more money.

Thus begins the 2nd half of the year 2009. Its all going fine so far... but as the days go by my mind starts to wander to one particular thing. The feelings came slowly at first but now its starting to return in full force. I'm not sure if I can take it even now. What am I going to do when it finally comes? I have no idea what-so-ever... though if I can't bear it even now, then what the heck's going to happen to me when the time comes?

Me n' My New Wii & Half Year Roster Time

Got me self a new Wii... its actually awesome! Well maybe I'm overating it a bit but when I got my Xbox 360 I hardly had as much fun as I just did with me Wii. Been thinking about how to juggle Xbox 360, PC and Wii games with work, social life and sports but I guess that's what taking leave is for eh?

With that I have a new roster for the next half year to complete. I recently finished Prototype (on hard mode, with 93% completeness of the Web of Intrigue: guess I can close the file as finished) and Wario: Smooth Moves. Still have loads to go and I'll be working my free time off trying to get those finished. Here's the list as of today:

PC
1. Dawn of War II
2. Tomb Raider: Underworld
3. Legendary

PS2
1. Front Mission 4
2. Wild Arms 3
3. Persona 4

Xbox 360
1. Dead Rising

Wii
1. No More Heroes
2. Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles
3. House of the Dead: Overkill
4. Legend of Zelda
5. Mario Galaxy
6. Trauma Operation

So Not Working Out

Yeah, well working out doesn't really seem to be "working out" so to speak. Much too busy doing other stuff like sleeping. So I got myself a Wii... I mean its the only logical way other than playing sports to keep myself fit, or at least my arms fit, everyday. It seems to be working so far; my arms are aching like hell from all the playing I did yesterday. Or maybe its just the badminton. Still, I think its a good investment, it reminds me of the good ol' days when gaming was actually just for fun and didn't involve things like achievements, endings, competition and what not.

I want to get a hamster. But I don't think I have the money left to get the cage, feed, shavings and the actual hamster itself. Guess I'll have to defer that plan to a later stage of my life, maybe just slightly above getting a house and a car.

CFA classes start this Wednesday... I'm so tired of that studying shit. I thought those days were long gone but I guess I still have another 3-4 years or so to go through. I mean, studying as a student is alright but I'm doing part-time studying while working: wtf. I barely had anytime to rest even after finishing university.... I have no i-fucking-dea why I'm so rushed to do all this. Sigh.
