Death Knight Nekomati

Monday, November 17, 2008

First off, +1 to those who got the joke in my DK's name ;p I have to say, the first three levels being a death knight are by far the best levels in WoW I've ever played. You pillage, maim, steal and kill your way through the little town of Havenshire in order to learn the ropes of being a death knight. It's also a nice touch that you have the Lich King whispering little bouts of encouragement like "Finish it!" when you're stabbing some townsfolk and/or a member of the Scarlet Crusade in the face.

Yes, they took morality and clubbed you over the head with it. Poker stabbing humans for information? Check. Using your skeleton drake to chew on Scarlet Crusaders to replenish mana? Check. Hey, I even get 15k experience for using the Neural Needler (cough).

On the other hand, my paladin is getting ass raped by death knights running in packs of five in Hellfire. Seriously. I had this shit for brains blood elf death knight who tried to gank my paladin, only to be owned in return... THREE TIMES. Do you know how much time that bastard cost me!? Ok, I lost round four because a level 65 death knight rode by and helped him out (I was 62 then! :p). But I returned the favor in the fifth round and sat there after one swing watching Yonne's lock light him up.

She's never making it to 80 by the rate this is going T_T

Back to playing death grip volleyball with the lowbies.

Nekolicious...

Monday, October 20, 2008

is my ret paladin. And the cause of my sleepless nights.
Even though very much under-geared with level 27 bracers on a 53 and cruising through the lands of Azeroth at an unforgiving average latency of 700ms, everything she touches is destroyed by holy light (hey, hey and I don't even have Divine Storm yet) in seconds.

All the godly power is... addictive.

So I sat there... nuking boars, Lost Ones, basilisks... the random orc or two... vultures... until there were NONE.

And shafted myself in the process since all I can think about now is to haul ass to 70 so I can nab my PVP gear :/

It's not dead...

Tuesday, October 07, 2008

... just super busy with work, pole and the giddy excitement of swing! Yes, swing is finally coming to town :)

Promise the pictures from Korea (together with many, many colorful commentaries) will be up this weekend :)

Weekly shortcuts

Monday, September 22, 2008

Adam (don't remember the flippin' address! ;p) has an epic fail of a learning curve with Bluetooth connectivity. In his defense, my own curve took a sinusoidal dump when my mac spun its wheels of death looking for an "unfound Bluetooth PAN."

Later in the same day, I bumped into Fi who said I looked completely different and normal out of the studio. We sometimes pole in our knickers.

Got ambushed at Pebble's station while illegally delivering mushrooms from Fay's table. That highly confused and a bloody month too early for Halloween psycho chick with the guitar and feathery head gear isn't me. Really.

Serious discussion with TJ as to whether or not I've ever tossed a "flaming bag of poo" onto my neighbor's porch. Them crazy Brit kids... and I never knew a douche was a poo bag. I thought it meant shithead and/or something to flush your girly parts with.

I think the peanuts in the rojak at Batai are clearly spiked--makes for pro-as-fuck brainstorming sessions after lunch, no shens.

Helped Ed pick out a purse for his co-worker. Such a pretty Pucci package :) Down with the Ferragamo! The Bottega was nice too... cough. But after all the deliberation, he reverted and decided not to buy it.

Nas rocked the Hangback and we floored the Superman (by floored, I mean we started from the floor to get used to the pain lol):

The seriously-holding-some-shit-in-look: the Superman, sorta kinda
The seriously-holding-some-shit-in-look: the Superman, sorta kinda

For more pole action: Pole-artiy

Had couples therapy earlier for Aizat and Ditesh with Ditesh unleashing his inner female Gujarati. Wretched humor from the car all the way to A&W for drama between waffle bites... i.e. Ditesh with a shocking find and Raj offering penance:

Sleeping with your ---. Aha! I knew it, you fucker!
"I'm sleeping with your *******" "Aha! I knew it, you fucker!"

Feel free to download the image to add your own captioning :P

Although I find the occurrence of social/verbal retardation amongst certain people curiously, albeit perversely amusing (in a purely professional "you dumb fuck, that's an inkblot" manner of course), I am simply too tired to put up with it any longer. I am bowing out (read: STAY AWAY FROM ME). It has been fun sticking a bloody railroad spike through my forehead every other time but I've really got better things to do. I'm not your emotional crash dump outlet. Been there, done that and safe to say I'm not a better person because of that. Rest assured, I will invoice for the therapy sessions accordingly.

Please drown yourself in the aquarium on the way out, thank you. Thank you very much.

Miserable

Wednesday, September 03, 2008

I'm down with a massive fever that comes cozily with achy breaky joints and the frequent drifting around sleeplessly with the uncanny sensation of a budding, explosive supernova in my head.

That and the only reason I'm writing is to complain about the banana I just had. Of all the accessible fruit in the kitchen, I had to eat this one NORMAL looking banana--that turned out to have a massively mutated seed.

I kid you not.

I would've snapped a photo, but the mushy leftover of what was the middle section of the banana AND THAT GOD FUGLY BLACK SEED wouldn't have made spectacular imagery. Plus I was too disgusted and was busy scrubbing the insides of my mouth out.

If I die before the day of the competition, it's because I've been infected with the alien variety of the banana and its banana-lings have exploded out of my stomach.

What I'd probably look like manga-fied:

The eyes were easy to pick considering they literally disappear when I smile... that and my cheeks definitely need to be rounder.

And yes, I did shamelessly ninja some cleavage inside. Courtesy of FACE YOUR MANGA :)

***Ninja edit conversation with sis over msn:

"Doodie, does my profile pic look like a manga me? hehe"

"LOL With the retarded smile, yeah :p"

Make way for Clay

Monday, August 04, 2008

Over the weekend I churned out quite a few hours building the front of Hotlink Rewards' ClayCam site. While I'm pretty nifty with CSS (which is unfortunately not reflected in this ancient build of a blog :p) I ran into a brick wall or two trying to get jQuery to NOT BREAK.

But after hours of thumping my head against the table, shit finally works! :p Yes, I'm now the queen of bludgeoning pretty little jQuery plug-ins to bend it to my wicked ways.

jQuery plug-ins that were modified, butchered and bastardized: ThickBox, UI Tabs

Here are some of my favourites before I go into the wall of text (tomorrow!) that was my weekend of screaming, testing, debugging, more screaming and more testing:



Pixelatedly squished images courtesy of yours truly's lazy ass. To see the clay pieces in all their glory, drop by the clay gallery--I'm running short on time here! :p

I'd tell everyone to get their own piece of clay but submission is closed for today (server got swamped and went down a couple of minutes :p)! But don't forget to request your on-demand clay piece tomorrow at Hotlink Rewards ClayCam :)

No CSS was harmed in the making of ClayCam. jQuery however...

25 on the 25th

Friday, July 25, 2008

I do this every year, so I figured why break tradition? :)
I kicked off year 25 with an excitingly anticipated conference call with the lovely Sara, whom I finally got to speak to after years of working with and Kevin! :D

And in no particular order, here's a recap of the fun, glamorous and obnoxiously horrific things of how "24" went:

Pole dancing lessons--and all the wonderful ladies at pole class :D

Pole dancing--on a stage with my awesome partner Misty in a club in front of a large audience... with really only (mom and dad, please turn away and not continue reading this line) a corset and those sexy pinstripe undies with red ribbons on the side.

Discovering Cyberjaya--I swear if I never got the job working at RSB, until today, I still wouldn't know how to get to that god forsaken place.

Team RSB--Rails Rumble, lots of Ruby on Rails, fun with CSS, a few Facebook applications and more geeky shit :) Oh... and AGILE... and converting from Dreamweaver (I only use split screen view! :p) to TextMate.

Team RSB--oh, the fights! Going to war and defending your shit. Thank you :)

Took public transportation to KL at eight in the bloody morning. Don't even ask.

Got a Macbook that traveled with me all the way to Chi-town! :D

Chicago--graciously hosted by Diana, Andrew, Jaime and Owen smack in the middle of winter <3 Much apologies to the guys shoes' which I puked on at the dueling piano bar after my orgy of drinks, heh. And Super Bowl!

Vegetarian food--like, seriously. In all my past 23 years combined, I've never had as much vegetarian food as I did working in Cyberjaya for those few months :p Every thing's a mushroom. Or bean.

Advertising at Proximity--I architect information, hah ;p And boy do I still hate Flash :p Admittedly, we have shit for internet but at least we get free beer and truckloads of processed sugar :D

My fuck-me-red iPod died. DIED.

Gave the second chance thingie a second try. Didn't work out too hot.

Swung around an obstacle course four stories up in the air with the crazy kids at Standard Charted. Oh, the drinking games. Much love! :)

Doing stupid shit on the webcam.

Mage went frost... and priest snagged the 2000 rating with Cibo (and a little help from sassy Higgins hehe).

Rediscovering what it means to have an "actual job" and how it cuts down dramatically on your social life.

Revisiting my teenager years of indulging my currently not-so-secret any longer teeny boppy girly crush fantasies.

Bumped into unpleasant clients (thankfully only two!)--the worst of the two being a misogynistic a-hole (pretty much self explanatory).

Whored my liver out to Turborg just so I could get to the KL Music Festival '08.

Salsa classes--just started! ;p

Streaked my hair red and adopted green contact lenses in the name of vanity.

Bumping into people with subzero PR skills. Yes, again, God kills a lolcat every time I have to tolerate this.

Two of my friends are engaged! :D

Obsessing over a track from the Ministry of Sound radio for ages without knowing the title (simply because it's so obscure I couldn't find it)--only to find it on someone's playlist on the first day at Proximity (thanks Yee Ee :D)! I have the track but sadly, I still don't know what it's called.

And that's that; I'm still high on my fever and both my brain and fingers have rebelled and stopped working... although, I'm not sure if I should include HTML5 to that list :x

Pictures will come tomorrow! :) Happy Birthday to all the other July babies out there! :D

Drip; pass the tissue please

Thursday, July 24, 2008

I'm sick. A day before I turn twenty five. This blows and is a humongous fail of epic proportions.

I'm this close to falling over dead with a leaky, gunk oozing faucet of a nose and I can't even get five minutes worth of sleep to save myself.

Add to that the possibility of needing to show up for work at a client's site on Sunday. S-U-N-D-A-Y. I think my gums just started to bleed from the acid that's moving up my esophagus at the very thought of Sunday morning work.

Also, God kills a lolcat for every stupid, ignorant cowpile text message I get. For the record: God killed three lolcats today.

Be kind to the lolcats and stop. Just stop before I shoot you in the head.

Of fire and frost

Monday, July 14, 2008

"Did you need all that Dark Iron ore?"

"Nopes."

"Can use it to make a lock box for your cold undead heart, like Davey Jones *ducks*"

"Davey Jones had a squishy heart. Mine sparkles, from the frost."

"LOL touche."

It's been a long, long disastrous weekend of misplaced laments and wisdom that fell on deaf ears. Thank the divine entities for Saturday night at Genting and Sunday pole-arity.

Water, oil and fire

Friday, July 11, 2008

"He thinks as long as he gets my dad's approval, everything is automatically OK to go with me. I stared. Long and hard."

"Well it is important..."

"Really wanted to ask, 'Wait... you went to the UK to study right... or is that some unknown province in China situated in a prehistoric cave of male chauvinism that I'm completely unaware of?'"

"and once he tames you, your opinion doesn't matter."

"HAHAHAHAHA TEA UP NOSE"

Sometimes I think pushing my face through a burning hot metal grate would feel a lot less painful than having to put up with the impropriety of an epic fail of a casual date... /facepalm

"Yup, waiting for the water to magically transform into tea!"

Session #615 with Nate:

"Don't quote me but what the fuck is a KIV? Who on earth KIV's a relationship?"

"The same way you casual date =p but wtf is that... what do you do while you 'KIV' a relationship?"

"Exactly. Do you go 'OK ... it's not good right now, but next Tuesday looks good to get serious...' or 'Am having dinner with the boss tomorrow, but I guess we can go steady on Friday if you're suitable.'"

"LOL. Open relationship, giggidy giggidy!"

Session #752 with Ger:

"Someone just asked me 'wtf is a kiv relationship'"

"Lol? Haha."

"I replied, 'a casual date?'"

"Haha. Or trial run."

"The fuck is a trial run, how the fuck do you trial run a relationship!?"

"Casual date!"

"... fucker."

"Hahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha."

Mage lf job; have reagents for table/port

Thursday, April 17, 2008

Because the last time I updated my resume was oh, let's say, a generation ago... I thought it was only fair (and responsible of me!) that I should invest some time into re-writing it seeing how the other resumes I've been looking at recently have only been as engagingly interesting as watching vegetables decompose into dirt.

Of course I had to throw in JQUERY and AGILE. Maybe SVN. Redux "Honorable Mention". Time Together Facebook application. How's that for keywords?

Was tempted to go all out with RAILS despite the fact I know squat about it (and that I still beg the guys for help :p). I mean, I have been "exposed" to it for about seven months now? Well, a one year round up is only fitting, yes?

To top it off, my resume is now graced with:

"Pro WoW gamer; level 70 frost mage/disc priest/resto druid (armory link provided upon request)"






p/s: I hope the folks at Jobstreet have a sense of humor or I'm probably going to get perma-banned from their site lol But if I can provide an armory link OPTION to my imaginary World of Warcraft characters, I'm sure you designers can provide a portfolio link somewhere. And no, "3 years experience with advanced CSS" and a site full of tables to show for it does not fly. Really.

Ready, steady... blotch

Tuesday, April 01, 2008

Random Tuesday afternoon musings including (but most definitely not limited to) angsty bitching of sorts:

#1 Dyeing
I love my new red-streaked hair :D Don't worry, incoming self-whoring pictures of mentioned red hair soon. It glows under sunlight *beams* too, fun stuff.

#2 Hiring
I've been left with the amazing task of looking for one uber designer to join the team. Even if I do *immensely* enjoy sifting through nameless resumes of candidates from various backgrounds who ALL seem to have PS/AI experience... for God's sake man, if you're applying for a job as a graphic designer, YOU NEED A BLOODY PORTFOLIO. "Five years experience in Photoshop" just doesn't quite cut it if you've got nothing to show for it, comprende?
And oh, gotta love the ones who've got "advanced" CSS skills with sites made in tables and fugly .green_underline and .blue_font classes in their table rows... I'm beyond flabbergasted.

#3 Coloring
Green colored contact lenses are no workie for Asian eyes. You want green? Skip the "more natural" green and go all out neon turquoise or some funkadelic color. So much for the RED hair and GREEN eyes spectacular Monday shock. I think I'll have one blue and one green this Friday and see how that turns out... yes, my office is an amazing place to work at :p

#4 Dancing
No, I don't look cool when I dance (spaz left, spaz right... some evil bastard reincarnation of crumping and Riverdance, you get the idea)... I mean, I'd like to pretend I do... even though I really, REALLY don't... but yeah. No, I will not youtube.

#5 Tripping
I graduate from moron to clumsy moron in proximity of people (well, there's really just this one person) I'm fond of. Granted I'm not your typical haughty minx to begin with but the alternative of being reduced to a frantic, besotted idiot isn't quite appealing either. Although, I'm not sure if it's noticeable (at least apparently not to him), considering I'm normally bouncing off walls high on air anyway.

#6 Raiding
Yonne needs to stop taking stuff out of the guild bank while he's on my druid lest Nate goes batshit mental when/if 200+ gems disappear again (p/s: this is World of Warcraft related). I love Magister's Terrace but I hate the horde who camp the meeting stone. In other news, I'm pewpew frost and suffer from too much ADHD to own a pet. YES, I CAVED. Now shut it.

#7 Eating
Yees is back (for 2 weeks anyway)! And it has been an eating expedition. It's claypot chicken rice tonight, wewt!

Binging for Sunburst

Monday, March 03, 2008

Goodbye February, hello March!

And here are the yummy pictures from last month to yesterday night where we had day two of the Turborg binge in our continuous effort to make our way to the Sunburt KL International Music festival... with loads of "free" beer.

We learnt our lesson the first time: NOTHING is open in KL if you go too early *cough* so "breakfast" was actually lunch at about 12ish at JW Marriott. Yees you lied! Where were the superlicious egg tarts? When Dom asked if they had any, the server looked at him like he grew a third eye... and replied back caustically as if the peasant dish of an egg tart was not to be spoken off in such place of obscenely overpriced resplendence.

Breakfast at Shanghai Restaurant, JW Marriott

Dom; dim sum is serious business ;p

Of course we had to try this:

Hanging out with the fishes--multiple feet on showcase

First 15 minutes was all laughter and squealing (from Dom as well)... so much so the woman next to me thought I was high from getting my toes sucked on by the school of fishes. This is an absurd lie considering I can't stand getting my toes sucked on -_- Just take my word for it, k?

MY dirty feet

Feeding the fishies up close and personal

And for dinner, we went off to celebrate (albeit belated) Joo turning 25!

Pau, Mei and Joo: happy 25th Joo! :D

Alas, we didn't finish the 16 bottles last night and ended up taking home about... seven? They're all nice and cozy sitting in Chris' fridge as this post is going out. Nevertheless, supply won't be running low anytime soon... we're going back this Saturday ^^;

I'm trolling Geni...

and I've discovered only my sis and I together with my fourth uncle's kids don't share the "Tan" family naming convention. You could say we're the oddities of the family tree... or we're just in the cool kids club ;)

That and I'm the only eldest child who isn't married yet on my dad's side X_X But that's probably not a bad thing, considering my dad is the youngest of the lot :P

Chicago '08

Tuesday, February 12, 2008

Hush hush, I know full well I've been procrastinating (and recovering from the dry skin rash I picked up... I blame the stale air on the plane)! ;p

Happy Chinese New Year to all :) Wishing everyone a prosperous and fantabulous Year of the Rat! :D

To kick things off... here are the pictures from my recent Chicago trip:

Chicago '08

Chicago '08 -- part deux; food and booze

Yes, yes. Due to some laziness on my part, I ended up Facebook-ing them as opposed to the usual Lightbox method ;/

Much love to Diana and Andrew who put up with me for ten days lol <3 Oh, and a shout-out to the lovely mom bloggers I met at Andalous on Monday (4th Feb)! :D Hope you guys enjoyed the food as much as we did ^^;

Happy New Year!!! :)

A few glasses of champagne, a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label and half a bottle of gin between seven people (Leng you only had one glass, that doesn't count :p) makes for wickedly horrifying hangovers.

That and currently anything in the color yellow triggers nausea.

Just say no to yellow. And gin. Just... no.

This fountain of youth

Wednesday, December 19, 2007

Because I'm a developer and designer-wannabe at heart... I have only this to say:

YOUR JSCRIPT MESSES UP SITES

... i.e. see that wickedly cool horizontal bar or nasty 3px gap that appears on every site that carries the shameless little JScript "Vote for me!" dog ear when you're not using IE?

While looking for the NEXT HOTSHOT Dotcom youth, the people at Youth Malaysia completely forgot to actually hire a Dotcom "person" to make sure their JScript doesn't ONLY work on the IE browsers.

Charity begins at home kids.

And we've got a long, long way to go.

p/s: I'm only tolerating the bad JScript cause the gents in the office thought it'd be cool to have a submission to the Dotcom Youth Search

Busy, busy

Monday, December 17, 2007

Wah! I've been busy (surprisingly ;))!

Updates coming soon; includes but not limited to: Time Together (omgosh a sneak preview! ;p), Supermoi (the guys are going to kill me), WoW winter fest (Greatfather Winter is cheap...) and New Year resolutions?

They need to bring back the sexy snowball knockback effect. Sniping party members in battlegrounds is a dying art. For shame.

Scratching that itch...

Saturday, October 27, 2007

on your nose can be extremely hard to do once you have a piercing. Yes, I was bored... and decided to have a hot goth chick (the girl who pierced my nose was coincidentally hot, okay?) make a hole through the right side of my nose.

It hurts for the first nanosecond (oh that sharp, quick release of pain) before it becomes another accessory hog :)

(Huge pictures below just to make doubly sure my piercing doesn't get confused with a zit)

The first day; that large zit-like stud
The first day; that large zit-like stud

Two days later; a bright blue flower
Two days later; a bright blue flower

Oh, towelling my face has become a hassle too. And accidents can be painful. Yeah.

Speed, CSS and elevator candy

Thursday, October 04, 2007

People in Cyberjaya are freaks. Here I am driving on the supposed fast lane taking corners at 110km/hr--no, I do not have a death wish... and yet, there are cars whizzing (and wheezing) past me on the left at tire squealing, bumper-rattling speeds.

I'm not sure if I should be more worried about the other guy violently swerving into my lane or having his bumper fly off and come at me at a projectile speed that is capable of causing instant and total brain mass splatter.

I count myself lucky I didn't get kitty bits on my windscreen when he barely missed running over the already very dead roadkill in the middle of the road in front of us.

Getting to work has never been so much fun.

But I really do despise leaving work mainly because of the obscene traffic that's caused by a poorly designed death-trap of a bottleneck that is more lovingly known as the Sunway toll.

And oh boy, have I developed a new capacity of HATE for the Sunway toll... and all the bloody morons who floor their accelerators only to come to a grinding halt in the WRONG LANE and attempt to cross three lanes of HEAVY traffic because they were too impatient to wait behind five other cars.

On a cheery note, did I mention there's an engineer/IT person who works on the second floor who's shamelessly easy on the eyes? Hot and techy with big, strong arms... obviously from all the programming.

What? You think I only look at code all day?

CSS is undeniably sexy but elevator candy is that much sexier.

Picture whoring

Tuesday, August 14, 2007

Only because I promised pictures for the longest time now!

Also, because I only have excellent selective memory, most of these are probably not in order at all. Pictures taken some time in the last two weeks of July 07 from Ms. Read all the way to Perhentian and right back at 7ate9 :)

p/s: For manually powered slideshow-esque effects, just click on the picture that pops up to move onto the next one ^^;

The way it swings

Friday, July 06, 2007

Of course, it's still technically "today" for me despite it actually being realistically "tomorrow" since I've yet to sleep. Today was massive heaps of fun. Incoherent. Chaotic. Exciting. More fun. TRANSFORMERS. And more fun.


8am: Numb
Still suffering from last night's flat and horridly tasteless snot of a nutrition-filled snack they call oatmeal. It's OUTmeal. For the record, it tastes nothing like Nestum. Nestum is amazing while oatmeal is incomparibly, godforsakenly awful... ugh, filth. I spit on oatmeal!

I'd rather swallow.

Yeah. It's THAT bad.


Afternoon: Boredem
I had to find ways to entertain myself because my usual source of excitement/entertainment/attention was busy elsewhere sending vocal shockwaves into the nearest window panes and giving the neighbours hell.


6pm: Chaos to the n-th degree, Fourier Transform style
Some things have a tendency to... spiral out of control and mature before its actual estimated time of release. Granted the variables were rigged by yours truly and not-too-shamelessly divulged, you would say I was really, really asking for it. However, consoling with Paulo is sometimes almost as comforting as getting stabbed in the eye with a blunt spoon.
