The past few days haven't been too great for me. After the hacking issue, I can't even put my mind to what I'm gonna be doing during the upcoming LONG end of year holidays. You guessed it, MAPLING. One thing I've come to realize about all of these online games is, there's just no end to it. Once you're hooked, you're hooked. & Don't you deny it. But when you finally experience a huge loss in the game, you'd understand how useless you are in recovering from the situation. You spend at least 2 years of your life forking out real cash to make life in the game better & more enjoyable. I finally realize how silly this is, especially when you get hacked. Not only do you lose your godly in-game stuff, you also lose REAL LIFE MONEY. I guess that's what's making me so upset over my losses in the game recently. Friends have told me to continue & rebuild or recreate my character, but I won't make the same mistake again. I've experienced something like this playing the same, free online game maplestory before. I've made up my mind that if i were to continue playing such a game where the temptation is there for you to blindly use real money(& it's not just 5 bucks I'm talking about here, but as much as a hundred per round of purchase), I must force myself to refrain from purchasing any more of those pre-paids. However, as I mentioned, the temptation is always there. The game is simply too addictive. Thus, I have decided to get myself a new game console, one which would satisfy my hunger for gaming, without jeopardizing my budgets. Right now my Dad's just agreed to foot most of the bill as he, too would be on the console whenever he feels like it, & I'm currently choosing between an xbox 360 & a ps3. Both are great consoles, but I can only pick one, obviously. Sigh.. at least I'll finally be getting cable TV as well. People have often questioned why is it that I live in a terrace & yet I've no SCV. Hmm.. I guess I won't be using my laptop as much this holiday!(But I'll still be on9 in msn, I almost ALWAYS am, if you've noticed.)

Oh, & Before I'm done tonight, I just thought I'd Share Some Of The Photos I Captured Within The First Week Of Hari Raya! *points down*
