Perfect Games

I am excited to have been mentioned by one of the players from China in Gunbound mobile (GBM). Whenever I see the opponent is from China, the likelihood for me to win is close to nil. I supposed most of them studied the game well, and are actively exchanging tips on how to come up with the best combination. I did not use much of my brainpower whenever I played and have always been open to suggestions from other players. I had been focusing so much on maximizing my tank's stats until another player from Singapore showed me that it should be the last consideration. I had a friendly match and his tank was delivering such high damages that the damage dealt is close to a special shot. That was quite an eye-opener and now I regret for not purchasing more neutral-colored jewels that can be placed in any color slot. My friend from China has advised me to do so during the last 2 seasons but I was not convinced because he did not show me the outcome of making such purchases. He was the one who told me that someone had taken a screenshot of my avatar and commented "why do all your opponents have maximal stats?". 

I also found out there's a whatsapp group for Malaysia and Singapore players but I find most of the professional players are too serious. One of them was complaining about one of the player who I frequently played with and was saying he missed his shots a lot and was not courteous as he had replied with "please be quiet" when he was being instructed where to shoot. I defended him by saying he is a fine player and probably had a bad day and the reply I got was "he is probably on his period". His clan member actually "represented" the clan to apologize on his behalf which I think was pretty unnecessary. Thankfully I seldom meet Malaysian pro players and I often get matched with Peru, Venezuela, Brazil, Portugal, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam players. I still prefer to play with players from my friend list as it is quite frustrating whenever I play with a random player and the person quits despite us having a chance to win just because we had a bad start. 

Somehow having a few games a day is therapeutic and it often made me smile whenever I think about all the happy or funny moments in the game. My recent victory was a match against a supernova and since both of us were paired with blue dragons as teammates, I am feeling quite proud with the victory. in the past 24 hours, I managed to set up 4 perfect games for my teammate and on both occasions, it was consecutive perfect games for 2 games. It made me think about the times when Icy did all the set ups for me and taught me how to use turtle's shot 1 for a double hit, those were good times! The only clan member who is often online on discord doesn't seem to play GBM much and I guess I accidentally pissed him off with Malaysia-Singapore jokes when he said he was in "JB" (Johor Bharu) and I was like "to pump petrol is it? just kidding!". Anyway he went to JB for a haircut and I was like "Seriously bro, all the way across the border for a haircut?"

I foresee by the end of the year I will be a "purple dragon" which is correctly known as "divine dragon". I still find it funny whenever someone says "purple dragon" and I think of Barney and friends, the chubby purple dinosaur who could definitely pass for a fat dragon. I am much more high spirited the last 3 days as I resumed my jogs despite the hot weather. I just decided to jog later into the night and I find my neurotransmitters are functioning much better as I could recall and absorb information better. I also feel happier and find myself randomly singing. Somehow Michael Learns to Rock song "I'm gonna be around" seems to keep playing in my head. 

"I'm gonna love you 'til the end
I'm gonna be your very true friend
I wanna share your ups and downs
I'm gonna be around~" 

Really love this part of the lyrics and the other day I told my husband that he is my best friend and he said "no, we are couples/ lovers/ life partners" and I replied, "yes! and also best friends!" Although my best friend doesn't play games with me, he will still be my very true friend who will always see the best in me!

Singapore

Continuation from yesterday’s post.  I finally ate the ice cream which is sandwiched between two wafers that I saw before and it was yummy because there’s like a huge block of ice cream and the wafer was thin. I chose peppermint chocolate and raspberry swirl. It was really fun to eat that on the helical bridge that totally looks like a DNA strand. I really love this region and it was also the same place where the fun run was held. So I got to go across the helical bridge twice. I am also very happy to finally seen the Merlion and since it was early in the morning during the fun run, the place was rather quiet and there were not many crowds. I wanted to properly run the fun run but I end up walking most of the time just enjoying the scene and talking to people since it was supposed to be a networking event. Delegates from 142 countries were there but I only manage to make friends from Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, Indonesia, Germany and New Zealand. It was quite hard to make ...

Out of the blue

 I remembered I used to cry a lot about Icy, and I was very confused with my own actions and emotions. During that period, I needed someone to talk to, and I did not want to talk to anyone who knew me in real life so I just spoke to someone random in-game. He joined the clan and I used to want people to be active and donate clan points and make a lot of reminders for members to play world boss. It was also during that time that I cleared out some members to make way for new ones. I may have recall bias as I had a lot of sadness in me back then and when I am sad I cannot recall things properly. I just remember the guy was from Brazil and when he heard of my story he was mad at me as he said I was unfaithful to my husband and he left the clan and deleted me as friend. I was rather shocked with his response and at that time I was also sad as I realize no one will ever be compassionate enough to understand my feelings.  Anyway that was more than 1 year plus ago. I think I stopped ...

Pieces of My Shatterd Heart

I miss you, when you laugh, the twinkle in your eye, the shape of your silhouette against the moonlight, the way you concentrate when you drive, and tease me intentionally to make me smile I really miss you~~~~~ I like the time when we went out and it was raining you treated me like an ice cream afraid of me melting shunning me away from the water droplets falling and when I look up to see you I caught you smiling... Drowning in a pool of misery wondering how to change history to diminish my growing worry to seal you in my deepest memory Not having you means not having anything cause you are the one whom i can share everything its you i seek when the rays of dawn comes shinning don't you know that my heart is now shattering? When night comes the missing is unbearable cause its was always the time you are more available yet now even when the curtains of dusk falls I'm l...
