Some new things to report on... on the boardgames front, friend got a new game, Thunderstone, that we're all hooked on for now. Plays a lot like Dominion (look it up!) with a fantasy, hero, RPG dungeon raiding theme. We played it quite a few times now and I think we'll be playing it just a bit more before we actually get bored of it. Still, that's not really a bad thing, we have so many games to play in the backlog (like Dicetown, Boomtown, Race, Last Night etc.) that soon enough we'll find Thunderstone new all over again. Hurrah!
Videogames wise, Dead Space 2 was over pretty quick. I'm like 4/5 through a 2nd playthrough on the 2nd hardest difficulty but then Marvel VS Capcom 3 (MVC3) comes along and I'm hooked on a new fighting game. I'm still quite bad at it despite a good win/lose rate, I'm just not smooth in executing those combos in a laggy environment. Still, it is somewhat badass landing that 72 hit combo with just one guy. And not to mention some of my favourite Capcom characters (Wesker! Dante!) are in the game and they are quite badass themselves, I'm enjoying myself just seeing them in action.
Work wise, well nothing special. I got back from some leadership training course which somehow made me feel worse off than when I joined. I feel like I've become really really anti-social after, I just don't feel like talking to anyone at all! Surprising really, I mean I used to love to talk to people and now this 180 degree turn around? Its crazy, mind-boggling and I don't understand it. Maybe I'm just PMS-ing....
Got my Blackberry as well since I'm promoted... but don't really feel like one. I got no work to do at all despite being in a project. Somehow I'm not really involved in what goes on with it so its like I'm not even there at all. Really feel like changing my workplace soon, at least to something I can learn at. I'm worried I don't have any skills I can bring to the table when I do so though.
On the wedding front, got to get the honeymoon done. Also, photoshoot in May (gasp!). Got to hit the gym a lot more often and cut back on all those foods... aiming to lose at the very very least 10 kilos before May. I have 2 months to do it... Should have started earlier!

Happy CNY!
Hey peeps, long time since I've written here, couple months I suppose? Lazy to check. Anyway, here are my updated:
Got a promotion at my job, I'm a senior exec now. Still earning pittance compared to my peers and even to some of my juniors... also job satisfaction is somewhat lacking as of late. I don't know why I'm even here anymore some days. I keep falling off projects into a new one before I'm done with the old one. Feels like I'm in a washing machine. Oh well... maybe I should start hunting for a new job.
Played Dead Space 2 and its awesome. Lots of gore, lots of spooks, plenty of creepy atmosphere and a heart-gripping storyline. Love it. Play it if you haven't already. Tried the multiplayer too, sad to say the reviews were pretty spot on. Its merely OK, I mean its playable but its nothing new, nothing innovative and certainly not something I'd get hooked on to most of the time.
Street Fighter wise, nothing much new here. Missed the last 2 tournaments (both cause I was travelling). The next one is in April and partnering with a friend but am totally not practicing now and I don't see myself practicing loads in the next month or so. Too much to do... wedding stuff obviously a top priority.
On that note, there's just so much wedding stuff to take care off. Luckily Janice is doing a great job of arranging stuff and what not. I need to pick up the slack from my end but I can't be arsed with all this stuff, simple stuff will do it for me. Sighs.
Boardgames are my new passion. Finally found a bunch of my old mates who are into boardgames as much as I am. We played so many things over the past month, Betrayal, Race, Cosmic, Cutthroat, Last Night, Dominion... its great fun. Also, been cooking up an idea with a friend of mine.. we'll see if that bears fruit.
Ok that's it for now.
