A New Beginning

And so it begins; with a thumping heart, a whirling mind & a largely positive perception.

Happy 50th Birthday Singapore!

Happy 50th Birthday (Belated) to Singapore! 

As I thought about it last night, I realised that I have been really blessed to be born in Singapore. Sure, there's a lot of things I complain about, but come to think of it, it's really because I've been extremely lucky to be in a nation where everything is efficient & works. Not sure where I will be in the future, but if there's one place I'll call home, it will always be Singapore.

It will really be by God's grace if 50 years from now I make it to SG100, but hey, here's a toast to 50 more meaningful years Singapore!

Selfishness in Gaming Hurts

Ever felt like you were part of a team where every member played for themselves? I have.

I've always pride myself to be someone who is good-natured, patient and essential a really easy going person. It really is difficult to make me angry, frustrated or even scold someone. It must be the medication or something, because I never felt more frustrated playing a game tonight.

I know some people when gaming have their own agendas to fulfill, their own challenges to meet. But I guess what annoyed me most today was me being part of a supposedly team game, but ended up like I'm the only one playing for the team. The funny thing is, I hardly get mad over things like people not buying observer wards, farming for their own self etc. But tonight, seeing how everyone was just doing their own thing, and worse of all having my well intended comment snubbed (only to be proven right a few minutes later when we lost team fights after team fights) summed up a rather miserable Sunday evening when all I wanted was just to be contented playing my favourite game.

This isn't really much of a big deal to be honest. I just wanted an avenue to channel my frustration and so here I am writing. The moral of the story is that this does not apply only to games, but to our everyday lives where we work in teams as well. I can only pray for patience and that I won't take an issue like game so seriously. After all, games are meant to be fun right, why so serious? (breathe deeply)
