Elaboration of Quick Updates [Part 2]
Wednesday...
Woke up early in the morning to play Maple Story with my cousins. Party Quest. What's a Party Quest? The party quest that we played is at Kerning town in the game, requiring a party of four people. It is a 5-stage thingy that the party has to complete by cooperating with one another.
The first stage involves collecting coupons to answer questions posed by a non-player character. The second, third and fourth stages involve getting the correct combination by climbing on vines, standing on platforms and on barrels. The last stage then involves killing the "Slime King", a gigantic green slime. Every member who is in the party that completes the party quest is entitled to a prize of a random item.
One of my cousins came over after lunch for tuition. I went through his Chemistry mid-year paper with him. Hmmm, weak concepts on his side. He'll have to work harder for Chemistry. Hopefully, he has managed to clear some doubts during the tuition session.
Right, back to the quick updates...
6. The Pangya experience
I started playing Pangya as well, just to qualify for the free A-cash giveaway. A-cash is the game cash, bought using real money, for Asiasoft games. Pangya is a multiplayer 3D golf game, and the way it's played is similar to Gunbound. It's faster than real golf though... but still quite time consuming.
I had to get a rank of Beginner E to qualify for the free A-cash, but it wasn't easy at all. A 2-player 18-hole game takes an average of more than 1.5 hours and gives the winner 34 EXP and the loser 18 EXP. The amount of EXP for the levels up to Beginner E are as follows: Rookie F ---(30 EXP)---> Rookie E ---(40 EXP)---> Rookie D ---(50 EXP)---> Rookie C ---(60 EXP)---> Rookie B ---(70 EXP)---> Rookie A ---(168 EXP)---> Beginner E
A total of 418 EXP points are required. Given that I win every 18-hole game I play (which I didn't), it would have taken at least 20 hours. Which meant that I spent more time than that on it >.<"
7. Food poisoning
My second food poisoning experience this year...
Actually I think it's just severe indigestion. Perhaps I was too hungry at that time... and eating McSpicy was too stimulating for my stomach. I had diarrhea and vomitted many times. It wasn't as bad as the last food poisoning case though.
It took quite a few days to recover, since I didn't go to the doctor this time. Started on Saturday morning, had high fever on Saturday evening due to dehydrating, situation got better on Sunday, but eating rice made me realise that I cannot eat solid food yet... Stayed on a porridge/light diet till Tuesday or Wednesday.
These days, when I see oily food, I have second thoughts eating them.
8. Trip to NIE, getting Nokia 6280 and "X-Men 3" at The Cathay
A full day affair. With a friend, I made a trip down to NIE to submit my application forms, went down to Novena Square to get a new phone and watched "X-Men 3" at The Cathay.
The morning was spent in NIE, exploring the place and having lunch at the NIE canteen. It's rather small, but the maps around the place gave me the impression that the place takes up a large area. Well, that's because the buildings didn't seemed to be drawn to scale ba.
We took the MRT, then cabbed down to Novena Square because the train was taking too long. I actually wanted a Sony Ericcson K750i, but changed my mind because the Nokia 6280 was a 3G phone and only cost SGD40 more than the SE K750i. Well, couldn't imagine getting a sliding phone, but well, I got one in the end. It's quite good ba... rather user friendly... but the built-in camera can't be compared to the SE K750i's.
Another MRT trip over to The Cathay to catch "X-Men 3". A very nice show I guess. The special effects and all were good. No comments on the storyline though, since I don't really follow the story.
9. Maple Story and 2x EXP card
With the introduction of the new 24hr 2x EXP card, more and more players of the game are about to level at amazing rates. It was a real temptation and I too, succumbed to it.
Much was done in preparation for the ordeal of playing non-stop for 24hrs. My friend and I started at 3am in the morning, but I took a nap from 11am to 2pm as I was too tired. At the end of it, I was rather drained, but I managed to level from level 59 to level 64.
Haven't been playing much after that... still stuck at level 64 as of now... and it's been a week. It only takes less than 10 hours if I play without the 2x EXP card, but I've been going out and all... and wasn't really in the mood to play.
