17th Jan 2021: Doto with Melvin

By Posted on

If I were to choose only 2 games that I will be able to play for the rest of my life, it will be Audition (Next Level or whatever server exist), and Dota2.

Today, I got a Dota2 lesson. It was helpful to a certain extent as I recap on the basics. I also picked up a new Hero, Shadow Shaman.

Since I got some time before bed time, I decided to play one round on my own. I started a Medium bots game and Mel checked in on me.



With that, we started a Medium bot. I picked Shadow Shaman and Mel picked Pudge.

Playing with Mel is always so chill. HAHAHA. Though years passed, he is still as patient and encouraging as I remembered.

When I got a kill, he's use the "affirmative" wheel chat. When I got kills, he would say "stronk" HAHAHAH. It was honestly funny cuz the credits definitely didn't go to me but he'd be so encouraging.

Throughout the game, he explained the new updates to me via the game chat. Things like the outpost, the neutral items, things I could buy. How the items work.

Towards late games, he asked me to take a neutral item -- Psychic Headband (I think) -- and asked me to try it out cuz it has an active ability which he never see before also.

If I am not wrong, he was pulling the jungle creep out to me so I can try it but I insisted on trying out on an enemy hero. He said, "They're all dying."

To which I agreed. And he said, "The bots don't even need us."

To which I agreed again HAHAHAHA.

Eventually I did manage to try the active ability of Psychic Headband. LOL. The effect was cute! Just pushing the enemy unit away. Dotoing with Melvin is always so educational and enjoyable hehe!

Anyway, we won. And he claimed I bully the bots. But the stats say otherwise la. 


It was a good game.

I love Doto. Doto for life. Regardless of how long I've been away from it, Doto is a game I'll always hold dear to me. It means more than just a game.

06th Jan 2021: I Miss Dating

I miss the feeling of dating. As life becomes more overwhelmed with work and other commitments, the sparks of a relationship and the priority of it kinda gave way. I miss the late night dates. I miss the unexpected and playful kisses and touches. I miss the flirting on texts.

26th May 2022: Oh How the Flames Have Turned

By Posted on
Things are not getting better at all. I feel that I am losing grip of my life, like a puppet just being string along daily, by everyone and everything. I feel like a good for nothing who can do nothing right. Not even in things that I am interested in. Heck, I don’t even think I am getting the basics right, like breathing and even the use of vocal cords to talk or sing. At this point of time, I’m questioning why am I even on Earth and whether there’s any purpose for me to live on for. Practically speaking, I am just a waste of Earth’s resources because I am a good-for-nothing.  There was a point of time in life when I felt genuinely happy and felt contented. Now, I feel there’s no substance to my life — empty and just unhappy. Happiness seem unfamiliar, as though it’s a myth. I don’t know who I was, who I am. I don’t know what I wanna be. Dodo asked what do I wanna achieve, and the only thing I want to be now is happy. Len said I used to be cheerful and kind. Sweets said she saw me...

16th Sep 2019: My First Ever Resignation Letter

By Posted on

Not much explanation is needed for the content of this post. After struggling for 9 months, yes, I have submitted the letter. The letter was first drafted last year, after I got to know of the promotion and pay raise that I did not have. Then subsequently revised a few more times to dampen the angst and steer it towards a more professional tone. Despite preparing for this moment for months, it was still a tough decision to make even until the point where I hit "Enter" to send it out. What am I going to do after submitting this letter? Will I be able to deal with the uncertainties. Where am I going to head to after my last day of work? Can I handle what is about to come? Amidst these myriads of thoughts, I still come to the same conclusion that this wasn't a rash decision and it was a careful choice that I have decided on albeit not the smartest one that I could have made. Between money and sanity, I chose the latter. Together with my dignity.
