Silkroad craze - Again?!

First off, a biggie thank you to Elyn for the lovely chat on Tuesday and a certain someone whom gave me a call today to help me out in the office :D

Unable to find good shots of me and E, so here I am, all alone in Donwhang with my squirrel between my legs, an old pic from lvl 30+

Me and E started playing SilkRoadOnline again after a long hiatus. The game brought back a lot of memories for me, both happy and sad ones. I quited SRO because I have had enough. Enough of how SRO have become a little too money faced.

Real skills wasn't all as important as how much you can spend on the game. Everything was all about money. It became a point where only the rich could be the strongest in the game. It was no longer about hard work in leveling and luck in alchemy/fusing. You pay for things that you should have gotten for free like the privilege to log in to the game easy. It usually takes us 'normal' people about an hour or so trying to log into the game. Imagine that!

As you can guess, I'm an archer

Through out my time in the game, I made as well as lost friends, I didn't mind the losing them part as I lost them due to egoism and sexism (not mine I'm happy to say) but in the end, I'm a just as well happy to lose them as I learn more and more about them.

Things like what they thought was right and wrong were a little odd to me and I didn't like the fact that I wasn't allowed to open my mouth and say something because I was female. Whispering into my boyfriend's ears and then letting him say it would of course be more appropriate. Knowing me, that's not how it works, I'm not [insert name]'s girlfriend. I am Ashley Tan. I have a name and I am me and I stand up for me. And at least I don't say one thing and does another. I don't make promises I don't intend to keep. I respect both male and female regardless of age if there is something in them for me to respect.

It was also in SilkRoadOnline that I met Ian. I thought he was different and thankfully for some part, he is. But ultimately, birds of a feather flock together. Rumours has it that he went around telling people that we broke up cause we were arguing all the time. *sigh* If it were, at least the break up would have been less painful as I would have been prepared for it.

But enough sad stories, now that Elisa has taken over [TYRANT] from Ian, hopefully we'll have a revival of the guild. I mean seriously, all we have to do is post up E's pic online and I'm super sure we'll have plenty of new members. XD MUAHAHAHAHA!

[TYRANT] wasn't really ours to begin with, it was set up by the above mentioned idiots people. But after the misunderstanding, they left. We stayed on. For some strange reasons despite everything that happened, we loved the guild and the damn 'yeng' name. And since none of original 7 who started the guild stayed, E took over ownership. [TYRANT] is officially ours! Wheeee!!

"All hail Queen E, the new ruler of [TYRANT]"

Went to QueensBay Mall today with Celeste & Tats, Girly & Hockster. Damn was a double lamp post. Lamp post here, lamp post there... also. It was a pity that I wasn't at home during the earth hour, so I called Dad to remind him to switch off as many lights as possible, hope he did. I'm suprised though that some places like Nandos, Sushi King and a few other retail shops in QB lowered and dimmed the lights on that hour. I'm impressed!

Heard this song and for some reason, two people came into mind... Still water runs deep, I didn't know how deep then but I'm getting some pretty rough ideas now.

Im tired of telling the story
Tired of telling it your way
Yeh I know what I saw
I know that I found the floor

Before you take my heart, reconsider
Before you take my heart, reconsider
Ive opened the door
Ive opened the door

Here comes the summers son
He burns my skin
I ache again
Im over you

Before you take my heart, reconsider
Before you take my heart, reconsider
Ive opened the door
Ive opened the door

Here comes the winters rain
To cleanse my skin
I wake again
Im over you
