I will always rememeber this day,the agony that this day brought,the anguish that it carried.
Why? Why must it be me? Why? Oh the agony! The pain! The Horror! The...

Ahem.Got a little carried away.Do not take offense.The 2004 GCE O Levels Joint Admission Excercise Results were released today.First choice:Mass Communication in Ngee Ann Poly,out.
Second:Media and Management at Singapore Poly,flew out the window.Third:Media Studies and Management offered by Nanyang Poly,in my next life maybe.Fourth:Media and Communications Management in Temasek Poly,never.Fifth:Law and Management at Temasek Poly,welcome aboard.
As you can see,the results are horrid,grotesque if you will.I got posted my FIFTH choice, courtesy of the ever-loving MOE.-Curse you-But,all was not lost. I had applied for the Mass Communication Course @ NP under the Special Admission Exercise,sorta like an appeal. Hopefully,*fingers crossed* I can be granted admission into the course of my choice. Check back for updates.

Spent the whole of today playing Maple Story,guess this is what you call a slacker's life. Not too bad,both my warrior and thief gained a level.Progress,as compared to last time when I spent ten days just to gain 50% in experience,and the laggy server is no help either.I got disconnected from the server at least 40 times today.I'm not complaining,just lamenting loudly.

My thief-In-Game-Name:Theifingtom-started the day as lvl 14,wearing Black Dream Set coupled with Black Ninja Boots,all cheap,low leveled items.The only item valuable enough to tempt a scammer would be the set of Snowballs,my weapon.Hard pieces of snowball that come in sets of 800 each,which must be recharged at your friendly neighbourhood armory upon depletion.They do pretty decent damage,40-65 to Green Mushrooms,good enough for my level.
By afternoon,I had leveled my rogue,with some help from my Maple Pal Litnight,level 25 warrior.Thanks to her,I could change my clothes to an awesome cool-looking blue set. Way cool.

After that,I logged on as my warrior.Spartan118 was level 36 at first,but level 37 by nightfall.
It was a slow and ardous task of exp gaining,with each ligator killed giving me a mere 0.03%.
And my motivation to train wasn't there,facing the same old character everyday will produce that effect.In a bid to alter my destiny,I teamed up with Litnight and Xiaoyun03,both lower lvled players,and went hunting.My exp meter rose 5%.Still too slow.Xiaoyun logged off soon after,leaving me and litnight to bite the dust.I then "abandoned" her for a while,to finish off a quest.Guess wad I got? A stupid 10% scroll for helmet defence. I was like,"What in the world..."
You get what i mean.Angry,sad and perturbed at the same time,I marched towards the Kerning City Sewers with speed,and a blood lust.200 Ligators fell in my wake of destruction,and my exp meter rose steadily towards 100%,with 13 more to go.Almost immeidately,I was hit with shocking news.

Litnight,lvl 25 warrior,lagged and died,taking 10% of her present exp with her as she did.The worst part was that she was very,very close to leveling up.Bad luck girl.But one thing good did come out of her death.She found and picked up a Mithril Pole Arm just prior to her demise. It was a powerful level 30 weapon with a level 35 weapon's attack,a formidable partner in a battle.
Sadly,she couldn't use it,yet. So I asked if I could borrow it,and she agreed.You cannot believe the fun I was having with that thing.

With a visual prompt from one of my newest additions to my social circle,I finally located and added Mapine to my buddy list. Before I had actually seen her,I had envisioned her to be a level 40+ Wizard,not the level 25 warrior I found.Oh well,you can't get it right all the time can you?
Chatted and trained with her for a while,found that she was a very-oh whats that word-cultured,gentle person,sorta like tissue paper. Oh my,wad a wierd comparison I made. Oh well.

After dinner,I rushed the last few percent and YES! finally emerged a level 37 Fighter. Dilemma.
Which stats to pump?Strength or dex?Or strength and dex? Which skills to learn? Should I max out Power Strike,or should I increase my chances for Final Attacks?I pondered over these questions for 3 seconds,then made the appropriate adjustments.3 points went to dex,while 2 floated to Strength.I leveled up my Rage,learned a new skill called Power Guard-a very cool defensive spell-,and finally gave my Final Attack that little bit more possiblity. After which I went tracking and found my old fren.I then followed her to where the Gollems are,and watched her kick Gollems' stone butt with gee. Alright,I'll end here.My eyes are drooping.Good Night all and live your new lives as fruitfully as possible.Hmm...should i concentrate on training Spartan? Or should I level up my thief? Dilemma once again...haiz...
