MapleSEA Patch Version 0.58

Freshly-baked MapleSEA patch version 0.58 just out from the oven! Introducing the new desert town Ariant and a new Singapore boss Krexel, who's a friend of Captain Latanica.

Without further ado, I went to fight the boss with a couple of pros. Basically Krexel does at most 1k+ - 2k+ magic damage, it's only when u touched the eye which does 5k+ damage. But don't worry, the map has plenty of space to stand.

Mages are not recommended to go there, due to the boss having high magic resistance (resulted in your damage reducing to 1 against it). It has huge amount of HP as well, so it's best to have Warriors and Archers.

Krexel uses this Genesis-like skill, but it's pretty easy to avoid. However for the stem-like skill, almost 100% you would eat the damage (unless the skill misses you).

Regarding the drops, it wasn't really good. I saw a key, a Pinaka, Infinity Skill Book Level 20, Power Elixers and bags of gold. As far as I know not every Krexel will drop all this stuff, sometimes might be even lesser.

How fast you kill Krexel depends on your whole party's damage and the skills needed to improve overall party's damage (eg. Sharp Eye). One more thing to take note is that one particular Krexel map can easily be entered even though it has been summoned, therefore Krexel is free-for-all...

那些年，我们一起追的女孩

我生病了。

真的生病了。昨天意外地感到喉咙痛、肌肉疼痛，还持续地发烧，这些症状像似骨痛热症？一定是熬夜熬过头了。昨夜超难入眠，就随意拿起在世界书展购买，由九把刀著的 《那些年，我们一起追的女孩》 来阅读。

我本人认为，这实在太适合身为学生的我阅读。这本小说讲诉一位热血少年与一位成绩佳、有气质的女生之间产生的微妙关系。透过她的影响，他从 “烂萍果” 转换成成绩全校前 30 名的资优生。

读着读着也快要凌晨一点了。我决定，早上起床并一口气解决它！

真没想到爱情可以这么伟大，能让一个人脱胎换骨，更让他们建立了永生不忘的友谊。小说里的每个角色，与我校的青年相题并论简直差远了。说来听听，难道真的有人能在我的中学就读期间一直持续彼此的爱？即使往后读不同的学校也能经常联络？屁！

有了女朋友的男生，有了男朋友的女生，如果正在读书的话就应该共同努力把学业搞好，而不是盲目地追随你们所谓的 “爱” 。若还是无法发奋图强，那真是太对不起对方了吧！

爱，原来比英文数学历史还难理解。。。

World Book Fair 2008

The long-awaited World Book Fair is here!

Upon reaching City Hall, I felt like a mouse in a castle. Skyscrapers towering over me, getting lost seems easy...

As the Fair was held at the Convention Center, finding it was a challenge to me. I've vague memories of that place.

Empty chairs in the Fair...

Real-life-looking leopard and tiger props.

The World Book Fair was a grand one, full of books of course, and I can't seem to finish browsing every booth!

How can I go home empty-handed while at a book fair? So eventually I brought some loots back - 3 Archie comics and 2 Chinese novels! :)

At Suntec City, there's a famous man-made fountain called the Fountain of Wealth. As its name stated, it's a fountain that's believed to bring wealth and luck to people who walk one round in the middle spot and at the same time, touches the water as well.

As the clock ticks to 6pm, I knew I got to head back home.

My mode of transport - MRT. Seriously, there seems like thousands of people in the station, I couldn't even find a place to stand properly!

I don't know whether my eyes were deceiving me or not, the muscle-man from the Mocca advertisement stood right beside me! He's like a replica from the commercial. He's well-built with broad shoulders and arms, I'm quite sure he's the Mocca guy. *lol*

City Hall is a good place to explore and sight-see fascinating buildings, most probably I'll visit again! ;)

My Horntail Necklace

Many thanks to DragonIce, Warrior9911, Pinsy, fellow HTers and MH for my HT Necklace! Yup finally I got hold of a HT necklace without spamming any pots! Well that's how they do the service. Pinsy's Horntail batch is a pro batch, they spent an hour+ and the job is done!

This is my second time buying service. My computer, sadly, couldn't handle such high bandwidth gaming, so I don't really have any choice. Same as the heavily-wanted Zakum Helmet, Horntail Necklace is a must-have for every Mapler. I told myself, even if I quit Maple, I've to get this necklace before I quit.

Handing over my account to another Mapler was a gamble and an extremely risky move, because I don't know him/her and he don't know me either! If my account get hacked, everything goes *poof* and all my previous efforts will be gone...

Anyway I'm so relieved right now.
