Funny

Just gonna make it a quick one. When I first joined DGAD and had people ask about my grades, most of them were surprised by how good they were and even asked me what I was doing there and not in an Engineering course. If I remembered correctly, I even had the course coordinator ask me that too in the first weeks of school, if I was sure I wanted to be in DGAD with grades as "good"(they're decent but nothing spectacular) as mine. Back then I didn't have a solid plan for my future and figured I enjoyed designing games so might as well try to make a career out of it till I realised I can't draw for shit and decided it might be better to go for my truer passion of the Sciences and then the same people who were surprised at me going to DGAD were then surprised that I was leaving DGAD. I just thought it was funny that they expected me to join an Engineering course but then when I decided I wanted to transfer, they're all shocked and shit. Funnier still was how I was encouraged to by my ex and when the transfer was nigh, she decided that she didn't want me to.

But I'll have to say, the thing is, people come and go in your life, but the things you choose to do stay with you for the rest of your life. Ask yourself if it is really worth doing or not doing something because of one person that may not stay in it.

The Way Things Turn Out

So recently my girlfriend and I broke up, which means I'm out of the Japan trip that we(mostly she and my other friend) planned, which is actually pretty decent since the trip is costing close to 2 grand and with an impending financial crisis, according to my sister who studies Economics, that's not the kind of money I should be throwing around. Also somehow I found a country cover of Fireflies on Spotify right as I'm writing this. Not bad. Well that's all I'm gonna say on it anyway because when you say too much, people tend to get the wrong impressions and someone becomes a villain, which to be honest, in the story of us, there isn't. Just two people who weren't meant to be together.

I guess I've drifted somewhat from my old friends and my girlfriend. Not being in the same class anymore or playing the same games anymore leaves very little to talk about. Well it's not like they didn't invite me to play games with them but it's Maplestory, you see. And I fucking hate that game. You see, it's an "RPG" but you can go ahead and ask most players and they can never tell you the game's story word for word. Most people don't even fucking do the quests. And see, they give you far too many quests than is possible to complete before you level up or is economic to do so. A person who actually bothers to do these quests will lag far far behind someone who doesn't give a shit. But you wonder, what's the most efficient way of leveling up in Maplestory(if you don't already know)? Well my dear reader, the answer to that is mindless grinding in various training grounds. Doing nothing but just killing mobs. And to be honest I really see no purpose in that. I fail to see how endless farming of creeps is fun. If I were to play an RPG, I would want to know every story there is to know about. I would do every quest and squeeze the game dry of its story. Now how will I achieve the grand achievement of "I can reach xxx level in 1 day"? Listen to every Mapler, when they talk about how "good" they are in the game, it's all about how fast they can level up. They don't talk about the story of the game. They know jack shit about all the other NPCs. They can only tell you about the "heroes" and that's it. What the fuck is the fun in that? What the fuck kind of an RPG is that where no one actually plays the game for the story.

And if I were to play such a game, I would actually go ahead and do the quests to immerse myself in the story and find myself left far far behind by them and I'll just be left to be playing by myself and what's the point in that? So I just refused to join them in the first place. And well I guess they took that to be that I don't even want to play any games at all with them and they went ahead and started a new game without even asking me at all. And they actually started a game that I might consider playing if it weren't so expensive. So whatever really. Really, I'm not even pissed. I'm just disappointed that just because I don't want to play Maplestory with them, they took it as a sign that I don't want to do anything with them. Hell they even went out to eat together and didn't even invite me.

I guess, it's really just how the way things turn out.

Sharks

So the Vesak day weekend, long time ago, waited till now to talk about this because I'm a shit ass procrastinator. So I went to KL to offer my prayers to my ancestors and while I was there I was at that shitty ass stinky street market that I once featured on my instagram where there was dead cow heads and rats lying about. So as I was walking through that overcrowded mess, I saw that there was a new addition in the fishmonger's offerings which were juvenile sharks and like a stack of them. That was kinda sad to look at seeing that sharks are endangered and also raises the question of how come there's no regulations on this, who the hell actually eats shark meat, where the sharks are coming from and what not.

So that's pretty much it for this one, I'd just like to ask all of you to not eat shark meats and not approve of it. It's high in mercury and the sharks are going to shit and if they do go to shit, the whole ocean goes to shit too so just don't.
