Everyone has a "first blog of the year", why shouldn't I?
Those of us who have retained and are still using the EZLink cards issued by NUS will probably be shocked when they tried to cross the MRT barrier this morning. This is because the card has EXPIRED.
I remember someone has told me about this matter some time ago, but I didn't register it in my mind as the end of 2005 was quite some time away. It caused me to miss 2 shifts of the LRT and also the additional charges from buying single ticket trip.
But no fear. I already have a back up EZLink card.
Everyone received this during the company D&D last year. What a timely gift for me! And a rather nice looking design too!
First hot topic of the year 2006
How did you spend your New Year?
The most common replies were watching fireworks at Esplanade/Harbour Front, counting down at some place (nobody I knew went to Siloso Beach), and hanging out some place with friends. Mine was spent as option 3 - I was hanging out at Battle Net with my fellow monster killing kakis, doing what we do best.
It was all in the name of testing out my new PC, to see if there're any further problems with it. How I love to test out new PCs!
Got to admit that some have remarked that "I have no life staying at home playing Warcraft 3 on a day as wonderful as New Year", but I'm not really bothered. I'm still having fun after all, and I'm interacting with my friends. It's not as though no one wants to be with me or anything like that.
While others are busy setting numerous new year resolutions to improve themselves upon, mine is just to...
BE A BETTER GAMER!!
A good gamer is not just someone who wins every game he/she plays. It also requires good gaming ethics to be one. By good gaming ethics, I mean no scolding or cursing of other players, not quitting a game before it's completed, display of 'sportsmanship' (not being a sore loser and able to acknowledge your opponents srength), to name a few.
To me, a good gamer has good skills, a sharp mind, and last but not least, good character. Ahqiang is one such example. He never seems to flare up or lose his patience no matter how the game turns out, or how poorly his team-mates perform.
Therefore, I should play more games to build my character.
