MaplestorySEA - Nian's Revenge

MaplestorySEA's Lunar New Year event - Nian's Revenge. 

Pretty much the only event in the event list that I've been diligently working on everyday. Why? - because there's this cube chair that says 新年快乐 ("Happy New Year"). Yes, just for the chair... and probably because its really easy to do too. 😅

The variable rewards include 4 different types of damage skins, 1 lion mount (timed) and 2 types of cash hats (timed). Not to mention the many ang baos that gives you the option to choose between having a 3x exp coupon or 3x drop coupon that lasts for half an hour. 

Obtainable variable rewards:

Happy Lunar New Year! May the year bring loads of good luck! Cheers! 🎊

MaplestorySEA - Moras Prequest

Arcane River's 4th Area - Moras... 

I finally got to do a video on it. hahahaha. I might not have the damage to 1hko the mobs there since their AF requirements are pretty high, but at least, it's doable single-handedly.

Among the 4 areas, Moras's storyline is pretty intense (& interesting) - imo.. 😆

Autumn in Singapore?

It did not cross my mind... that one day... I'll be wrapped up in my blanket, seated in front of my laptop without the fan blowing in SINGAPORE. 😂

Natural air-con kind of weather here in the little dot known for its humidity & heat. hahah. 

p.s. Probably a tad colder since my nose has been running the whole day at work. 😷 #2018

MaplestorySEA - Take N

With the Nova patch, here comes Take-N again. 

I remember, in Take-B, I spent everyday grinding for the 3/4 daily boxes & completing the quests:

1st half hour: activate 2 runes

2nd half hour: 1 frito/polo portal

2nd hour: 1 elite boss

3rd hour: flamewolf portal

2nd Cumulative Box: 7 Gacha Tickets

Being a working adult, it was honestly quite tough to achieve everything in the given time.. It was always either I stayed past midnight to complete the quests or hoped to be home in time for all the boxes.. It was a stressful period (for the final reward of an Absolab Weapon)

This time round, the final reward was a Dominator Pendant!.. Unfortunately, I really didnt want to stress myself out. [I'll leave the Dom Pendant to faith (please Ark... drop me a dom pendant someday soon... 😇)]

I decided to do just enough to get the 2nd reward of 7 gacha tickets though... 

GIANT PINK BEAN CHAIR

I think my luck this time round was not too bad... Rising Sun Pendant & Giant PBC! 😝

MaplestorySEA - Normal Lotus

🙌 WE DID IT... N.Lotus!!! 

Compared to Damien, Lotus is a much fast-paced kind of boss run with only 5 lives given to each participating member. Considering the few practice runs we had, this was rather unexpected. Xdeatell, DmgOverTime & I literally had only 1 life left when we cleared it. HanabiKatsu as usual... was the mvp with 4 lives left (she's really one awesome paladin). 

Vandereich's very 1st clear - Normal Lotus

MaplestorySEA - Normal Damien

N.DAMIEN DOWNED... 

Kiineziz's 1st successful Damien run with Vandereich!!! *happy* 😄😇

(special mention: with HanabiKatsu, DmgOverTime, Xdeatell & I2ualBlade)

Its been a good few weeks since Kine's 1st attempt with the guild to fight Damien (didnt survive long enough to celebrate the very first successful guild run). All the tips and practice runs that came after in hope that we would survive better... 💖 *appreciative* 

Here's to more challenging boss runs in time to come. Lotus next? 😂

Damien downed!!!

Brand Soulstone :')

Special Mega from HanabiKatsu

Normal Damien's Soul Crystal! 

MaplestorySEA - Kiineziz solos CRA (Queen, Pierre, BanBan)

The recent halloween event buff/medal are really quite OP. Till the day I can solo CRA bosses without the timed event buffs, im satisfied with this. 😆

First successful Chaos Pierre run

Second successful Chaos Ban Ban run

3 out of 4 CRA bosses solo-ed! :D

Week off from work!

It's finally November... Hello Annual Leave!

Since starting work in Mid-May, I had been dying to take a break from the routine day-to-day tasks (especially so when my senior goes on leave since we cover each other's duties). The past week, too, had been an exhausting one, leaving work only at 9/10 pm each day... 😓

It was sad that the plan for a short trip over this mini week-long holiday didn't pan out, but it really has been quite a fun one (doing the things I had been wanting to do). Just yesterday, I clocked approx. 16k steps from hanging around Plaza Singapura, getting a haircut at Act Point Salon @ Singapore Shopping Center and heading to Punggol's Waterway Point Shopping Center on a whim. & today, I got to eat at Santouka Ramen @ The Central and went bowling @ Kallang Leisure Park!

Personal Best Score!!! (K.)

楽しかった！！！

I've also completed an anime series over the last two days (Angel Beats) and I really wonder why I hadn't caught on the anime when it came out in 2010. It really tugs at the heartstrings and brings out a lot of questions about life. *** highly recommended for anyone who hadn't tried the series.

There's still so many things I'm wanting to do over this mini-break... like, creating some stamps (I got a tiny stash of lino-cut related materials from Art Friend), singing K, watching more anime, pack my room (to make it study-friendly since my Japanese lessons are starting next week!!! *楽しみ*), some shopping, and most importantly... EATING. 😇

"休息是为了走更长的路"... maybe its time, to start planning my next holiday. 😂

MaplestorySEA - Level 230

Its been almost 10 months since I went back to MapleSEA. Creating the then-relatively-new class, Kinesis, was the best in-game decision I had ever made. 

Mages had always been my fave in every possible mmorpg game and to find a mage that had everything I wanted (100% stance, no mp, flash jump, debuff, bind, etc.) - simply magical. haha. 

Yay Kiineziz 230! Cheers!

MaplestorySEA - the Bean Journey

Its MapleSEA's 12th anniversary and Pink Bean is back as a create-able character in Maple World! - that's what they said, but I've never seen one myself. :3

The bean journey to level 200 was the ultimate grind but thanks to guildies, they made it so much fun.
