Absurd

 So I was being accused of removing the fun from the clan when I set the rules of contributing to clan points. It is just a game but from this game I learn that there are various type of personalities and some of them are not team players or fit to be in the society if this is their attitude in real life scenarios. The clan could only take in 40 players and it has a total of 10 levels. To reach those levels we need to accumulate clan points which can be done by playing 1 world boss using 2 training tickets and that would be 1 point, winning 12games /day to earn 2 points and alternatively purchasing clan points using gems (this would be the most expensive way which I have never asked any members to use this method). I do acknowledge that I may not be the oldest member of the clan but as the subclan master, I have to foresee that the clan moves forward and I do that by moderating the clan points contributed by each member. 

I have been kind enough to remind members about the clan point but most of them took it for granted. We are stuck at level 7 for almost 2 years. I was invited to join a level 10 clan but I am not going to leave this clan again for the second time as it is after all dear to me. I believed it was also dear to the few illogical players so they were really mad at me for removing them. Oh well, they were rude and so resistant to earning clan points. The most absurd argument was them being "loyal members of the clan", so what is loyalty? does that mean staying in the clan and not doing anything? A good analogy is couples staying in a marriage but not doing anything for the marriage, yet want the status of being married to enjoy the perks offered to married people? (Okay I can't think of any perks unless some government gives incentives if the couples have children). Is this loyalty? 

I was cautious in removing people from the clan as it may be clan master's friend but I noted that clan master was online and doesn't seem to care about the removal of 2 "loyal" members for their rudeness. The 3rd person is still in the clan and I would not hesitate to remove him if he makes so much of fuss. Good luck to them finding a clan that will take in all 3 of them and tolerate their dormancy. Too bad I am not easily provoked by a "1 vs 1" offer and to take them in if I lost. I know my strength and their capabilities, why do I need to make fun of myself and give them a chance to brag?

 All these while I have been removing new members who are inactive and not contributing and for once it felt good to remove old "loyal" members who are not contributing. One of the members was sensible enough to inform me that he would be away for 2 weeks and not to remove him from clan. This is the kind of people the clan needs.

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 ...

忙或困是最好的解药

 我想人类是需要足够的睡眠， 过于操劳能让一个人所有的情绪给封闭起来，脑子里只想让自己“关机”。今天刚巧是个很忙的一天，忙得我真的没时间去思念任何人，也没时间胡思乱想。我记得我曾经说过为了避免自己难过，我若是隔天要离开情人/亲人，我刻意让自己睡眠不足。当我觉得我很困的时候，我就没机会伤心了，这个生活窍门我用了很多次也从未失败过。  我不能说我完全没有想他，因为今天工作所遇到的事我都很想和他分享。由于很忙这个想法只是瞬间经过我的大脑然后很快的又消失了。我可算是个认真的人，工作时我都不分心所以我真的想他了，要不然他是不会出现在我脑海里。其实我今天有和我老公说我想他了可是他没有回答我给他的简讯。1256，1637， 2327 这些是我发了简讯的时间可是一个答复都没有。想一想我真的是个孤单的人。虽然我很爱独处，但是我也喜欢有个和我三观一致的人和我分享生活。 我现在只希望今晚有机会睡觉因为昨晚我0200就醒来了。我没想他了，我只渴望睡觉。其实还有很多话想说但是我真的很困了。
