Hey,
so while I am kinda am P.O. (pissed off..not post office) that sometimes Digital Life has too much emphasis on online gaming instead of real content, I have to remember that it is a free inset accompanying Straits Time. Hey, it IS digital information at a mere cost of $0.80!! True, that amount can't get around with much information but I have to let you remember, Im still not done archiving relevant articles in my big file!! That's how much of knowledge waiting to be placed in neat layouts and in a proper filing system. Then, I have to remember I myself am a gamer but not one on a big scale. I...am a big fan of the Sims ever since the predecessors showed me the ropes of making babies..haha. Narh, they just had to go to bed and then do the woohoo and if you're lucky, voila!...A baby! But the Sims1 was rather two dimensional and before I got around playing Sims2, I actually collated a massive collection starting from the Original and the expansion packs right down to the very lst one before Sims2 made its debut. When I found out about the more realistic graphics of Sims2 and its more 'real' gameplay, I just could not get enough of it until I would go 'What Sims1?'
Honestly, I haven't been playing the game for awhile coz when I bought the last expansion pack which was Open for Business, it was no easy feat. I don't even need to set up a real life business to know how hard it is to run one. And yes, I DO know it can be physically tiring not just for the Sim running the business but also..me, the player. I was practically running around trying to please one customer here, serve another customer there, attend to an irritating and lazy staff or one throwing a tantrum or get new staff to mend certain things like the cash register etc etc..On top of that, I had to keep on updating my skills, say..cooking skills especially when I took over an established bakery, (now I know the importance of starting from the bottom) or I have to be contented with making the basics of the basics..or better yet, empty racks. Wait..did I say..'I' as in 'I'..gawd..the game has taken over me.
But fear not coz the internet is a huge playground for me and I kinda am slowly waking up to fresh new tutorials (and er...cheat sheets), written by other gamers who have kindly shared the knowledge (now I know how to make my Sims have twins..woohoo!!) in regards to playing the latest expansion pack Open for Business. But ah..the gameplay has revolved so much that if Im not wrong, they actually have two more expansion packs out in a space of mere months! *foaming at the mouth*...gonna have them..gonna have them..gonna have them..EH, what happened to me who has been so freakin' budget conscious..dont care! gotta have them..gotta have them..gotta have them..I MUST HAVE the SIMS2 PETS!! *slapping myself silly now*
Haiz, on top of all this, I do have a nemesis who isn't evil lah but who keeps bugging me for tips and no! I am not an idiot..am not gonna feed you with information that she can find herself in the internet. And what is this wanting to borrow the expansion packs..which costs me almost 50 bucks! NO...she go buy herself unless of course, we can establish a trade system. Rahayu doesn't do trade with people who are freeloaders. I know I am one also but I have morals k? Think about me trying to save up for this one game and people jolly well wanting to borrow and the last time I remembered, one of the expansion packs (which incidentally is my favourite as well) from my Sims1 collection, came back in an undesirable state. Gawd..dont tell me she plays with the box out of boredom. I know she has this freakinly annoying habit of always asking me for the Microsoft Office pack coz her laptop is always crashing..argh...go suck eggs. Told her to burn a copy but alway find the easy way out which is to borrow from me always.
Okay, I should stop talking about this only. I am sure my life is much more 'interesting' than the above..haha..Alright not really. I am just pretty upset that I haven't been up to par despite me telling myself to make good use of my time up to my bed time. What happened to Rahayu who can stay up till the wee hours doing things she enjoys like blogging, creating layouts, singing (yes..even in the middle of the night) or surfing out of sheer fun..yadah yadah. The fasting month has really got me good that Im practically 'out' in the midst of teaching my brother in the middle of his preparations for exams end of the month. Two days ago it was so bad I could not keep myself awake and got so cranky that I didn't even know what I was saying half the time. You know why? I felt so freakin' tired from all the walkings (I now walk to skip the few bus stops) as I don't think Im to it to continue with my weekly gym routines. Not only that, the last few days (Except for yesterday), I had rice and believe me, rice has this drug effect on you especially when your stomach is empty and you load it up with carbo. Prior to fasting, I don't usually eat rice but maybe once or twice per week which could explain why on most days, I can last rather long throughout the night.
Even then, I had to force myself to go to bed and if I do manage to sleep, I would wake up again and be in a semi-conscious state. It's no fun coz I would feel as if my body as if it is immobilized including my voice. I could only wiggle my toes (if Im lucky) and it would take me at least half a minute to recover and be fully mobilized. Initially, I thought that I am getting 'night disturbances' if you know what I mean but in scientific terms, I have not fully awaken. My brain is but not my body of which I am only able to open my eyes. Spiritually, my soul has not fully entered my body I guess..I dunno...there are some things which you can't explain. One thing though, it ain't fun. So with these early tuck-ins, I don't usually experience these weird moments but talking about being 'tucked in'..err..I am not lah actually. I can be sprawled on the green sofa, dozing infront of the laptop midway and the last two days? Sprawled on the floor with no pillows..just myself on the floor...it is just like someone has knocked my head with something heavy.
But yesterday, I can see a bit of improvement and this is probably because of the guilt the day before that I was practically 'useless' when it came to teaching my brother who can never be so enthusiastic about practising his compositions especially malay compositions. While sprawled on the floor, I kept shouting at him (thats me being cranky) to hurry finish up and when he did, two infact, and asked me to mark, I couldn't even open my eyes to read. He kept pushing me or nudging me to mark and I could manage to put a big red tick across the paper. I felt so bad the next day coz I also asked him to get out of the room hampering his study mood coz he wanted to study Maths later. I saw him grudgingly going to the living room and watching tv while my mum was nagging at me for being so sleepy.
Not to worry, like I said, I kinda paid it back yesterday by sticking with his tutorial on volume till the very last question and teaching him till past 12 midnight . Although I am still working on it, (I almost fell asleep like twice in the last two questions) I was proud of myself and proud of my brother for being so enthusiastic and err..his constant nudging at my side hip to jolt me sharply out of my sleepiness when it was slowly catching up with me. I promise tonight, I am not gonna waste time anymore. Infact, I just started to try and spend my time wisely even at work by typing this blog entry out on wordpad using my ofc room's pc. At least, when I go back home, I can just upload and saves me time from typing out. I know you can do it rahayu...it's just a matter of time..TIME..as in time..geddit?!! NO? Useless.
