Self-Imposed Ban = Lifted!

W00t, finally met the deadline for the project I was working on. For those interested (if you’re not, just skip to after the divider LOL), it was a favour for a friend who’s organising a carnival for the benefit of children with craniofacial defects (cleft lip, etc.), and needed someone to optimise the posters for commercial printing. That means working with huge files at 300 dpi using Adobe Illustrator, and trying not to let it crash and waiting a few minutes when I press save. For those who live in Singapore, you can see the posters at MRT stations and in trains from 19 June to 16 July. Granted, I didn’t manage to do ALL of the posters because 2 of the formats were just too much for my poor laptop to handle (note to self: get a Macbook next time), but I feel a sense of satisfaction all the same. read more

I Need More Self-Control?

I was supposed to be studying for my Astronomy quiz yesterday night. Really.

But then I logged onto MapleStory on the pretext of apologising to my friend, because I had promised that I would come online that day when I didn’t.

I need more self-control. Srsly.

Well that aside, a very small update on my character! I’m level 44 now, going to reach level 45 soon. Training at Monkey Forest 2 is really very very fast. Save for the fact that I keep leaving to go on excursions to other places with my friends and dying in the process. read more
