I tried the game today. It was kind of disappointing. The interface looks terrible and it was difficult to control the units.

I arranged with Justin to take leave today to meet for a catch-up. The last time we met was about two years ago. Justin suggested that we go ice skating at Kallang and it sounded like fun. We met at Kallang MRT at 11 and made our way there. Ice skating was slightly more difficult than roller blading, but it didn’t take long to get used to it. The place wasn’t even that cold. We chatted while going around the skating rink and talked about stuff. Later we had lunch at the nearby food court. Too bad we didn’t bring any camera with us.

I was away on a short trip to Malaysia the past weekend with some friends. Left on the 25th early morning about 5am and beat the jam at the checkpoint. We took the longer route up to Malacca to save on toll $ (lol!), and I tested my GPS toy which worked surprisingly better than back home.

It was mostly a shopping and a sightseeing trip. Visited the two shopping malls there, went to the night market, and had local food. I didn’t spend much, but I bought some snacks home. Oh ya, the movie tickets there are really cheap. It was about S$4.50 per person! We watched the High School Musical 3 there. It was nice, but wasn’t as good as the first two.

On Monday we shopped at Holiday Plaza and Plaza Pelangi in Johor before returning at about 8pm.

Can you recall the last time you held a grudge against someone? Perhaps it was a friend who betrayed you, a stranger who wronged you, a lover who left, or a parent who unintentionally hurt you. Perhaps this has happened recently and feelings of regret, resentment, and injustice are fresh enough that it still stings. What can we do to overcome these feelings and painful memories?

Haha, saw this article and just had to post it:

In the dating world, geeks are often overlooked. However, many geeks are what you might call a diamond in the rough. Geeks make excellent boyfriends, girlfriends, and spouses. Although many of these are generalizations, we’ve found 50 reasons why geeks have a lot to offer the dating world.

Tech

Dating a geek means opening up a whole world of awesome technological abilities.

1. A geek can fix your computer: If you’ve managed to screw something up on your computer, your geek will be happy to come to your rescue, and will probably find a solution that will ensure you won’t have the same problem again.
2. Geeks can make your electonic life easier: Beyond computers, geeks can fix or improve upon your gadgets, home entertainment system, and any other electronic needs you have.
3. You’ll have the most awesome home entertainment center ever: Geeks have great gadgets, so they usually have TVs, DVD players, and entertainment servers with loads of cool features.
4. You’ll have awesome gadgets: Geeks love to share their passion for gadgets and geek toys, so you may just get a new smart phone for Valentine’s day.
5. They can find you good deals: Geeks make for expert online bargain hunters, so you can always turn to them for help finding the best price for a big purchase.

Geeks in Love

These are some of the great things you’ll enjoy as the significant other of a geek.

1. Geeks are passionate: A geek is someone that is obsessive or passionate about the things that interest them, including the person they are dating.
2. Geeks aren’t cheaters: Your geek will be passionate about you, and tend to stay loyal. They’re also usually not socially adept enough to carry on an affair, anyway.
3. Geeks are attentive: If you want someone who will dote on you and make sure that you’re always happy, a geek just might be able to give you that.
4. They have the patience of a saint: If your geek can spend hours and days writing lines of code, playing games, or mastering equations, they have the patience to wait or work for just about anything.
5. It’s easy to do your research: It’s almost always easy to find your geek on Google, so you can find out about all about them online.
6. Your geek won’t be a jerk in public: Geeks tend to be quiet, not loud and annoying.
7. A geek will actually call: Most geeks don’t understand how to be manipulative, so when they say they’ll call, they will.
8. Geeks care more about happiness than traditional status: Geeks weren’t the cool kids in school, often choosing academics over sports and other activities that would make them popular. That means that they can resist the desire to look good for others, and choose your happiness instead.
9. Geeks have good sex: Geeks are passionate about nearly everything they do, including sex. That means that geeks make very attentive lovers who work to make sure you’re pleased.
10. It’s easy to make them happy: Geeks are often very simple creatures with transparent desires. You can often brighten their day just by bringing them a new geek toy or showing interest in their favorite new obscure movie.
11. Geeks are not hard to find: Let’s face it, there are lots of geeks out there and not a lot of demand for them, so they are ripe for the picking. Better yet, they’re all over the Internet and easy to find on dating sites.
12. They’ll support your passions: Geeks are passionate, so they understand when you obsess over a new hobby or business venture.
13. Geeks enjoy creativity in bed: With a geek, you can try out new ideas in the bedroom, like cosplay and comic fantasies.
14. A geek will be grateful to have you: In general, geeks don’t get a lot of dates, so they are often much more appreciative of your affection.
15. They’ll be impressed by your cooking: While some geeks are excellent cooks, others are content to live on junk food. That means when you cook for them, they will be totally impressed.
16. Geeks can be romantic: Although their idea of romantic date might be a blog post professing their love, geeks will go to great lengths to show they care.
17. There are lots of good ones out there: Geeks tend to not be very active in the dating field, so there are plenty to choose from.
18. Geeks are easy to buy gifts for: It’s easy to know what a geek wants-it’s on their Amazon wish list, or they’ve been openly obsessing about it for months.
19. Geeks are easy to get ahold of: Geeks use multiple forms of communication, including text, telephone, email, and social networking.
20. They’ll remember important dates: Most geeks are pretty organized and have good memory skills, so they’ll never forget your anniversary or birthday.

The Geek World

Here you’ll learn about some of the great things geek culture has to offer.

1. Your geek will introduce you to new things: If you’re not a geek, dating one will open up a completely new world for you. Although the geek world may seem strange, you just might find that there are parts of it that interest you.
2. Won’t ever have to be athletic: If you’re not the active type, you don’t have to worry about letting your geek down, because there’s a good chance they’re not interested in athletics either.
3. Geeks can tell you about awesome movies: Your geek may not be interested in the latest blockbuster unless it’s based on a comic book or game, but they can introduce you to obscure and interesting movies.

Social Relations

Your geek may be better for your family and social life than you think. Here’s why.

1. Geeks aren’t concerned with social norms: Geeks don’t play a lot of the silly social games that other people do, so they’re much easier to deal with than regular people.
2. Their friends are nice: Geeks hang out with other geeks, so their friends will be just as sweet and polite as they are.
3. They don’t care if you have a weird family: Geeks are almost always just a little weird, so they’ll lovingly accept your quirky family and probably fit right in.
4. A geek will impress your family: Geeks show off for parents really well, as they often have good jobs, manners, and smarts. It also helps that they can help your mom ressurect her dead laptop and make an awesome slideshow for your Grandma’s birthday.

Geek Personality Traits

These are some of the personality traits that geeks tend to exhibit, and why they’re great for those who are dating them.

1. Geeks are successful: Geeks don’t do anything halfway, so they tend to be very successful in their chosen field.
2. Geeks take care of themselves: Most geeks are careful to avoid drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol.
3. Geeks pay attention to detail: Your geek will remember all of the little things that you love and hate.

11. They’re not jerks: Although geeks have a lot to be proud of, they’re almost never full of themselves.
12. Good taste in food: Although some are content with Doritos and Mountain Dew, lots of geeks are also foodies, so you’ll be treated to delicious dishes, awesome microbrews, and sweet, sweet wine.
13. They make excellent parents: Your geek can tutor your kids and share video game time with them. They also make excellent role models for children.
14. Geeks are slow to judge: Geeks are often judged themselves, so you won’t find that they are quick to judge you.
15. Geeks are respectful: As intelligent people, geeks know well enough to be polite and respectful, even if they don’t always understand etiquette and social norms.
