This post is dedicated to the game that has pretty much taken over a large chunk of my life lately. It also happens to be one those games that you’d feel guilty for not buying (I know I did). So now that I’ve absolved myself of the guilt, let me just say that the Mass Effect series have to be two of the most engrossing, amazing and fucktastically brilliant games I’ve ever played. Rarely,if ever,do sequels live up to…nay…astronomically exceed the expectations laid down by their predecessors. Mass Effect 2 builds on the incredible story laid down by Mass Effect and... 

…I’d have a disco ball drop through the ceilings of all the cars on all the mrts on Friday evenings. And at that very moment I’d put “Everybody dance now” on the speaker systems.  Read More →

‘More’ because the previous Status Quo is posted under Private. January summary- I went to Rawa islands for NYE with LEAP mates. Was fun. We were alone on the island. Got to snorkel for the first time in my life and it was exhilarating. I felt like a kid who had just learnt how to ride the bike and felt like showing off. Only problem was, I can’t swim even if my life depended on it. So I looked like a fish out of water. Wait…does that metaphor apply if I’m literally in the water? Played pool, drinking games, fed the fish,ate the fish,destroyed a few corals (just kidding!Never... 

2009 was all about doing the things I’ve always wanted to do/going to places I’ve always wanted to go to/buying the things I’ve always wanted but didn’t have enough money to . I think 2010 should be more about self-improvement. So I’ll start off with a few simple pseudo-resolutions and add on more during the course of the year. Lose weight and get into shape (i.e. No belly, minimal flabs).Ideal weight would be 64-68 kilos. Learn how to cook (simple dishes, preferably meat). Learn how to be ambidextrous (not sure how it’ll help. Just a small experiment for... 

Time to do a review of the pseudo-resolutions from 2009… 1. Stop merely saying the words, “Time for new beginnings” and actually do something to make that happen! Done! Intrinsic motivation 2. Drink less. Its a waste of money. Kind of achieved 3. Start reaching office earlier than others. More often than not. Hence achieved 4. Start learning Japanese already! Or else my dreams of becoming a farmer in Japan will never come true! Didn’t happen in 2009 5. Use my Wacom tablet more frequently to make paintings. Did not happen 6. Start losing weight already and go back to looking... 

2009 was definitely a Year of Sowing Wild Oats. And oats were certainly sown by the truckloads. A lot of things happened this year. Both good and bad. But the good things far outweigh the bad. In fact, when I think of 2009, I can only think of the good things. Let’s do a comparision then: The Good The Bad The Weird Moved the fuck on! My first smoke, followed by many many more Confusion Got drunk enough to forget what happened the night before (the night before being 31st Jan 2008) Put on more weight Multiple ‘friends with benefits’ and meaningless relationships...
