tribute to insanity (10)!

YES!! just in our 2nd week, my 10man raid group from Newbee (server - barthilas) has got it!!!

Photobucket


Albeit some screwups from ONE particular person in almost every fight, we made it to anub with 50 tries. Faction champs went surprisingly smooth, I didn't even know it was over when we downed it. i think having no hunter/rogue in the enemy NPCs made the sudden-unexpected burst damage a non-issue.
Anub itself was smooth till P3, then someone died, followed by me..(to penetrating cold >.<) and then people started dropping cos i was down. (i'm a healer) Our pally tank bubbled and we managed to down anub with just him, our warrior MT + an enh shaman left alive. super exciting can!! omg.

Sad to say, Heartsmasher didn't drop, and I lost the roll on the healer cloak as well as the mount :( but oh well, one of my main goals for now is accomplished =D INSANITY BABEH!!

the return

alas, the day has arrived.

Today is officially my ORD.
I can finally exclaim emphatically "ORD LOH" and really mean it, unlike the 80% of the almost-ORD-but-not-quite-yet people.

It started off bleak - with bestie having A's, becky rejecting me, qin busy with school... the usual people i go out with were all unavailable!! OMG i was gonna spend my ORD like some sad loser at home. Somemore it's WOW maintenance night, so can't indulge in some gratifying monster killing.

But thanks to technology, qin saw my tweet: "This sucks. Noone to go out with! Ord lo!" and she asked me out for dinner =) cheers cheers.

In the end we went to marina square and ate at this place called CA.. ok i cannot remember what the heck it is lemme google..
..
..
ah yes, Changing Appetites!

"O
ne of the few places in Singapore serving authentic Tex-Mex (Texas-Mexican) cuisine, Changing Appetites is famous for it's meat-generous menu, which includes hearty Baby Back Ribs, thick, juicy burgers and sizzling fajitas. And if that's not enough, you can always top up with their particularly satisfying Monster Mudpie, American cheesecakes and waffles. It's the American dream come true for foodies."

First off, i must say the ambience is quite nice. It's like a very western-like place with the decor matching the theme of the restaurant as mentioned above. And the seats are all comfy couches! The waiter directed us to this 4-man-capacity table when it was just the 2 of us. So we got to sit on a nice big sofa each =)

I ordered some Cajun chicken thing ($15.90) and weiqin got the valuemeal deep fried chicken set or something like that ($6.90!)

It is damn good can? (English fanatics may argue that 'was' is the correct tense to use, but if it was 'was', it implies that it ISN'T good anymore? which i refuse to! because it's awesome! omg i'm becoming like Sheldon from Big bang theory. wahahaa)
Mine is like these chicken strips chopped up into smaller strips, and it comes with 3 tortillas for you to pull the chicken in yourself and roll it up (think Mcdonald's chicken Foldover) Super tasty can! The flavour of the juicy chicken just explodes in your mouth when you take a bite out of it. Very well prepared IMO. (This means In My Opinion in case you're like the chinese WOW player in my guild which asked me this morning what 'imo' means)
qin's one was quite nice also, but she only ate half! she said was too breaded and .. unhealthy or something. so i finished her other half =) very nice spices and GOOD.

I'll definitely go back again if given the chance. Most of their main meals are between $10-20, with their value meals below $10 and student meals around that also. Changing Appetites ftw !


After that, had supper with timo/dan/ham/corn at Yassin. Was pretty damn full from the CA, but .. just fellowship la. and of course, WoW maintenance so nothing to rush back too anyway :p hahaha.

I'm still grappling with the concept that i'm a free man now. a CIVILIAN. one with a PINK IC. ah, i wanted to take a photo of it and put it here (with the photo pixelized out , of course :P ) but i was too lazy to switch to my camera phone just yet.. but i will very soon! (this answers the 'WHERE ARE THE PHOTOS ?! WORDS-ONLY ENTRIES ARE BORING!" question. be patient.. gimme a while to get back my cam-whore mood... it's been a while.. :D )

Alright, i will definitely be blogging more often now that i'm free.. and i DO tweet from time to time.. so just follow me or something (i'm not very sure how the whole thing works. i'm not a twitter/facebook person :S )
I think you can most likely expect a blog entry on Tuesday nights.. cos tuesday nights i can't play WoW! server maintenance. heh.

Yup, i'll try to write more. I do enjoy writing. Just that sometimes there needs to be the inspiration. I mean, pointless writing without inspiration is just rambling. and rambling is boring.
just like how this is getting now. ok, good night, civilians and military personnel alike.

ORD LOH!
