Demons Within and Without

Ok no drama with the title post, I just can't think of any good ones. And also cause I've been playing lots of Diablo 3.

So what's happening with my gaming now... haven't played Dota much since the Diablo 3 expansion came out. Yeah, I main a Female Wizard in D3 since the first time in came out. Was really sucky then, now not so much. Pretty fun runs in Adventure mode and Nephalem  Rifts and what not. I'll make a section to showcase off my Wizard some time.

For MTG, still haven't had time to power up the Cube yet, hopefully tomorrow I can get some of the prints done, cut them out in the evening and sleeve them up before the guys pop in on Wednesday. Should be interesting to see what kind of interactions they'll come up with.

On the working front, just attended a 5-day course on leadership and managing people etc. etc. The business simulation was fun, mostly cause we did well for it. We did a nice interactive presentation using Prezi for our resort business (called Fun Luanne Resort); check out Prezi if you ever want to make fun slides, much better than power point. All in all, was OK though its pretty much the same stuff I've heard on the subject again and again.

On to life stuff; so the wife and I are going for a trip to Cameron's for the weekend next week, just to get away from the hustle and bustle of town. Nothing much to do there so I guess the itinerary is 1. eat some scones, 2. relax and sleep and then 3. eat some more. Two week's from now though we'll be going to Redang Island with some of the guys, and that's always fun. Lots of seafood, doing nothing around the beach, playing some drinking games... that'll be a blast.

Alright that's it for now, signing out.

Insert interesting title post here

Long time since the last update! Time to get some things off my chest.

Some real life stuff first then. Wife and I have been trying for a baby for a year now but so far no luck :( She has something called PCOS which makes her eggs not come out when its that time of the month. That's fixed now since she went for a laproscopy but the problem is with my army of men; its mutated or something crazy like that, so they don't swim straight T.T So anyway I don't know what we're going to do to fix that, been cutting down on caffeine when I can, being more healthy and also taking some supplement pills but not sure if its helping. IVF is our last option I suppose but I want to avoid that if possible.

OK with the property business, its plodding along on the investment side; we have an investment in a smallish house in Seri Kembangan which we wanted to start renovation work on but the tenant still wants to stay on so we're happy to collect rent. We have another property we're buying in Brickfields / Bangsar but the loan is being problematic. Working on a renovation condo project for my parent's-in-law at the moment, big place and lots of things to do which is good, a step up from the smaller condo projects we have been working on previously.

Games... well I haven't actually gotten to finishing any new games. Pretty much been playing a fair amount of Dota 2, and more recently Diablo 3 since the Reaper of Souls expansion will be coming out soon. I probably want to get started on Far Cry 3 at some point as my next game, and there are a couple of new games coming out that may seem interesting so I might jump into those later on.

Other than that, Magic drafts keep on a coming. Few new regulars joining the Wednesday drafts now so that gives us 8-man drafts most times. We're gonna switch to the MTGO Holiday Cube soon, full with Moxes and Black Lotus and everything; that should be massive fun! At least for a while.

Alright then, tata!
