“I don’t see why we’re heading out to the raven’s nest again, Sorella. Have we not been there just a few hours ago?” the younger girl asked in her state of drowsiness. “It’s such an unearthly hour to be out here and ought we not be disturbing it’s slumber?” she complained in a pitch that was higher than usual.
“Be quiet won’t you! We can’t have the house roused by your whinings. Are you with me or shall I leave you behind?” came the sharp whisper from the elder girl. Her tone was controlled and clearly, she didn’t want anyone else to be awake.
The younger girl was unappeased and ignored her sister’s hushings. “Whining!? Why, I was almost asleep and about to enter a dream when you decided to drag me with you on your little night walk!” Her initial drowsiness giving way to indignation.
“Well, you needn’t follow me you know. I’m used to rejections…”
“Yea right, used to rejections indeed.” the younger girl’s voice carried the tone of slight sarcasm along with amusement. She stretched lazily in her sitting position before standing to face her sister. Using her left forefinger to jab the older girl on the shoulder she pointed out, “You, want my company… because you are not accustomed to wandering in the dark of night by yourself!” She finished off with a cheeky grin.
“Oh alright, alright…” the elder girl gives a resignated sigh and playfully gives her sister a jab on the side. “So, now that you’re wide awake, shall we…?”

(to be added to when I feel like it.)
I typed the above into my handphone during a bus ride on the 13th of October, 2006.
Would have liked to continued it but somehow… the mood and time slipped by before I could proceed… Ah well.
*Sorella = Sister (language of origin.. Um. I cannot recall at the moment)
Carpe Diem November 3, 2006

Hmm. Carpe Diem. There isn’t much to say, except that it means seize the day.
Carpe Diem!
Oh yeah, it’s a fun game. Firstly, there are great graphics and the main soundtrack is oh-so-soothing and I love it so much, I play it over and over till my sister threatens to strangle me. Secondly, the guys in the game are so HaWt, perfect complexion and nice eyes, angular jawline…-drools- Whoa those are just pixels and pentagons. Aww. Haha girls would love to zoom in and just Stare at the screen. Ask *lala, that’s what she did XD
Thirdly, Feys get to ride bears, Dragonbloods get to ride Minotaurs and Humans get to ride boring old horses. Ok, they turn into unicorns at some level and become so much more beautiful. Yeah yeah, ugly horselings. (No offense!) Also, each of the three classes have different gameplays, different quests and varying storylines that add up to the full story. Eh, bad english but you get the point.
Fourthly, there are regiments, aka personal army. Something like a guild, regiments conquer dungeons and powerful weapons, which sounds like WoW, but nevermind, because this isn’t WoW, and regiments have a cool purple coloured chat. Ha.
Fifthly, the possession system is really fun. Each class (Human, Fey, Dragonblood) gets different career choices. Those mage classes get to possess other warrior classes for the Dragonbloods, while Feys get to possess humans. Yea they get a free ride ^^ See one of the pics for a “possessed” picture. Although the word possession does sound wrong, well, it’s just some translation thingy I guess.
Sixthly, and uber-importantly, this is a Dual-action MMORPG. Instead of computer controlled baddie bosses, you have Mister Uzziel, whose name is commonly mispelled, as the BIG BAD BOSS who is -gasp- human controlled! No one has ever seen how he looks like yet, as his attacks comprise sending loads of monsters to overwhelm the troops. However, rest assured he is alive and well and likes to attack you. I was training at some secluded spot with my party when Uzziel decided to tease us noobies and threw monsters at us for about an hour. Then, when it was silent, one guy said “That was so easy! Give us something harder!”
Along came a gargolye and killed us all. That was fun. You don’t lose exp when you die. Unlike Maple.
Drawbacks
1. It’s only the open beta that starts from the 9th Nov. After the few months of open beta, it’ll be a pay-to-play game. Prices can be found here.

These are only a few of all the stuff I wanna do, there might not be time for a part time job even! Perhaps some event-based things would be fun too, and I wouldn’t mind the extra moolah =) Now, who wants to go for the photo shoot together? It’s to commemorate the 18th year of our lives, and the getting out of part of the education system. We can even drink campbell soup there for breakfast.
Blah, I’m kinda rambling and incoherent. Hehe! It doesn’t matter. This year’s IGNYTE church camp is gonna be in Kuantan Malaysia, and it’s gonna be super interesting and fun. Yay~! Excited excited excited. And I levelled 3 times today in Carpe Diem from 40 to 43! Darn I shouldn’t be playing at all, but after a week of not playing, 3 levels in a day is pretty quick. Tazelle wants her black horse!
