Venturing from Sanctuary

Last night, Rune left faction.. T.T

He told me it's time for him to venture out since Sanctuary already more or less stabled with raids, colony war and recruitment.

When we first started off forming Sanctuary late last year... the founder of this faction was me and Rune. That's why u see the "A" and "R" in our faction name looks different (A = Angel, R = Runex). I in-charged of the recruitment and some administrative works while he set up our faction forum and raid systems. With the help of some of our close friends (Den, Eliza, Clement and Jerry, just to name a few) we kick start our faction with the mission of providing a "home" for all our ex faction mates to enjoy the game. And Sanctuary was meant to be a warm & cozy home. We managed to get Merlin, Hong, Kelvin, Saka, TheSunz, Bernard, FD, Lionel (sorry if i missed out your name... and that doesn't means i think lesser of u ^^) back "home" to stay. Though FD left to other server and Lionel joined X, we are still keeping in touch with each other.

Though we are sad that he left us, I respect his decision to venture out for greater challenge outside Sanctuary, which i think he will. Thanks for helping me to manage the faction for the past few months (blood vomiting and high blood pressure are sometime unavoidable). Of cos, he will still be on our list for future gatherings and outings and he's always welcome to come back to Sanctuary .. The DOORS are OPEN as long as Sanctuary are still around.

p.s. Dun kill me when u next see me on cw (i should be easily spotted).... =P lol

Outing on 28.2.09
Meeting point at AMK MRT Station. Eliza and Marvin joining us later. So Me, Rune, Den, Clement, Nic and Dwayne proceed to Ivin's first.

We ordered curry chicken, veggie curry, long beans, fish maw soup, meat ball soup, honey pork, fish cake otak and tahu goreng. As Marvin will be late, we finished our lunch and went back to AMK Hub to meet Eliza and Marvin.

We went to New York New York for deserts. I ordered a Fried Mars Ice Cream to share with Eliza. it come with a scoop of strawberry ice cream.

Game Haven

15th February 2009

We decided to go Game Haven (GH) for Colony War (CW).

Agenda :
> To meet new friends from X and Anything (GH is the place that they hanged out)
> To have CW without too much of lagginess
> Meet my own faction mates (MosBurger & Madjerk ... this one already met hundreds times..lol)

CW was fun... running all over the map to kill Aggressor and getting killed by Demiurge...zz... anyway El Lago was a mess... with 4~5 faction clustered at ONE map was super laggy. Francis (cyctoo) formed a new faction after Baron disband. Well... those losers quit before i do. So what if he's "imba"... i bet he dun enjoy the game as much as i do. i have friends... he had ENEMIES.

Will try to go to GH again... cos... NO PROPER intro... though i met a few Anything's players like Nap (Faction Leader of Anything), Qiang (SMLJname), BonCelestial, Takamishi, Alvin (MacDonald - X Faction's Member). Bon promised to properly intro the next time we meet.

^^ looking forward to next cw

Happenings in January 2009

Didn't realise that i've not been updating my blog in January till Merlin asked. hee hee

Here's d brief summary :

31st Dec 08 - 1st Jan 09
Me, Den and Jerry met up at Boat Quay for new year party. ermm.. not really party...lol didn't drink, didn't dance, didn't go clubbing. We couldn't decide where to go and end up walked to The Central's Burger King for supper/breakfast (past midnite still eat...zz). And so coincidence, we met Marvin and Dwayne who are also snacking away at Burger King. We chat till 3am and decided to go off. I shared cab with Den... imagine the taxi queue (not very long but not moving) and the frequency of cabs driving to the taxi stand at Merchart Court Hotel. Tried calling cab but number busy or no taxi...zzz reminds me of last year when I go clubbing with the ex-GE players at Lunar (Clarke Quay). Waited 2 hours for cab...zz

A picture of fireworks ... not very clear as the position we stand was blocked by a building.

9th January
Watch RED CLIFF MOVIE MARATHON with Den, Jerry, Lionel and Gerald at GV Plaza. Managed to get only the seats at First Row... imagine 300mins of movie.... almost break our neck.. lol .. remember getting a "POSTER" fr the marathon package ...Nothing related to Red Cliff... some CNY Chun Lian type...Faint

Next few weeks was busy shopping for Chinese New Year's goodies, clothes, decos. Brought my mum to nursery to grab a few pots of plants and flowers for CNY (tradition - every year she will buy a few pots... whole corridor full of her potted plants... lol... CNY flowers don't really last anyway, only some plants that can keep growing). Took a picture of a flower that looks like a heart.
