whoa .it's really been quite awhile since i last updated .anyways .to date it's just 15 days to go before my prelims start .but i seem to be mapling even longer hours .the weekend that just passed , i mapled for like 16 hrs .and for the past three days i also played at least 3 hrs .then end up all my revision never do .sian .maple can really become so addictive like cigarettes , it's scary .i'd decided against using 2x experience coupon last sat .and probably will use it on one day of the sept hols .achieved level 98 on sat (11/8) .just that little more effort to that coveted triple digit number .now , for a brief update on the mapling experiences for the past three days ....: mon 13/8 :. [time online 1500 - 2200]~ trained at singapore map "mysterious path 3" .~ at night , went over to parking lot to help train my buddy .~ welcomed new buddy - yume86 . she's a pleasant person to work with ..: tue 14/8 :. [time online 1500 - 2000]~ more of subordinate D @ parking lot .~ but this time round , my party members didn't even allow me to go afk for dinner .~ as a result , i had to eat and HS and heal at the same time .~ i acknowledge that (for seasoned maplers) this wouldn't seem like a big deal , but i just couldn't cope .~ when i told them i'd be going at 1900 , they whined like there's no end to beg me to stay .~ being the soft-hearted guy that's me , i obliged and stayed on for another hour .~ this was probably one of the worst partying experiences i've ever had since i migrated there from coolies at late 8x .~ seriously . i don't wish to end up so addicted like some people , who would complain like there's no end once the party priest has to go just because he/she wants to maximise exp gain from his/her 2x exp coupons ..: today 15/8 :. [time online 1400 - 1900]~ finally , it's back to armory once more .~ secured an empty map at channel 1 (quite lucky i suppose) .~ hoped for ice mages to come . but instead came a dragon knight . somemore he only level 91 . can't even achieve 100% hit rate against bains with my bless skill .~ afterwards came a helmed level 128 hermit . faster clearance but still not as good compared to ice mages . (not that i don't appreciate his effort . i still do .)~ when male boss spawned it took ages to get rid of him . nobody really took the initiative .~ the dk died twice , logged out later . so i just expelled him from the party . the hermit left shortly after too .~ and finally , the ice mages came . eventually three stayed . level 133 , 93 and 107 respectively . and my exp gain shot up to over 16% per hour . thanks for the party guys . (:~ at 80% i left to take a breather . and it was known to me that female boss has spawned in channels 1 and 10 at parlor map .~ implication : i decided against going back to armory map , since female boss's (aka anego's) slapping attack could do as much as 16k damage and i didn't want to risk losing a precious 5% exp that i'd previously earned .~ so i returned to parking lot . my party this time is sort of quiet , unlike the "class of monday" which had seemingly loads to chat about .~ the "cold" look of the party leader , a female 7x hermit , didn't help either . she's a 24-hour chiongster by the way . not my cup of tea . -__-~ welcomed another buddy , skylineDK . and unfortunately , he was one of the two who expressed displeasure the day before when i told the party i had to go . and no , i don't use HS bot and will never use it .~ oh well . let's just see how things progress in the coming weeks .currently at 89% .will almost certainly level by friday .and try to breach 100 by the end of next week .okay .back to studies and reality for now .there's essay timed practice tmr on role of government .and i haven't even studied for it .then again , it's too late to prepare for it now .so might as well sleep early .nites all ~
