Hey. Ready? Kgo.Fuck Asiasoft.
Why?
Omfg. There are people already level 72, and you're fucking around having the event on the 14th. FFS there are death knights already at 60, started at 55. Fuck fuck fuck. Okay, at least people will move out of the starting areas and you know, there'll be less godforsaken lag, random disconnects that kill your fucking character and all that shit.
At least. Least.
Fuck Asiasoft!
Okay, rage aside, honestly, yes, fuck Asiasoft.

*breathes*
JB, is a very vibrant, colourful place that is truly reminiscient of Asia.
It looks like America back in the 50s. see wut i did thar?
Though to be perfectly honest, it's a good place to shop. Your dollar basically just went through a 2.5 times increase in value. For most items, it's dollar for dollar. If movies are 10 SGD here, it's 10 Ringit there, or in some cases, lesser.
After I grabbed some shirts and a jumper, my mum forced me into some, foot reflexology and shoulder massage crap. Oh, and some thingy which helps you file hard skin and stuff from your feet. My skin on my feet was smoother than my face. Rofl.
Anyway, about the reflexology, it hurt like a motherfuck. Jesus christ. You just can't sit there and keep a straight face, because when some parts are pressed, it goes through the gaps in your bones and hits the nerves. What the fuck.
Not once, not twice, *cue aunty* but many many times!
An experience for sure. Lmao, if any of you haven't tried it out, you have to. Because well, I did. Yeah, that's why. I mean, Ian tried something new. FFS! Honestly, it hurt like a mother.
I've observed a very fun bit about JB, though. It's really easy to tell a Singaporean from Malaysian in there.
For starters, what's "Lian" and overboard in here, is the norm there. I swear to god. It's either a uniform, or colours-so-bright-they-burn-your-fucking-eyes. Red, orange, yellow, cyan, oh god. I'll give it to them though, they add one or two pieces to their clothing and they look completely different. Knee-length socks, scarves, (Fuck it's already fucking hot. But hey, a shoppin centre, I'll give it to you.) weird shoes, walking wind chimes, living christmas trees.. oh wait. It's the norm.
I'm sure there are people who appreciate it. I'm still taking the view that, well, fail. Because it's only a slightly dumbed down version of gothic lolitas. (And yesh, I saw a couple of those walking around.) Poser much? Well, like I said, it's the norm there.
What else is the norm? If you can't speak chinese, or can't speak malay, or aren't fluent in chinese, you're boned.
I felt like an absolute retard. No one could understand me, and I sure as fuck couldn't understand their attempts at english. Not that I'm looking down on them or anything, because well fuck, I can't speak chinese worth a shit.
Who am I kidding. A person like me, valuing both languages equally? NAHHHH. Come on, it's the global language. English or go home, imo.
Example?
*I walks into a shops.*
*Skinny, lanky dude walks up.*
"I'm just taking a look around, thanks."
"U WANT MOVIE? LATEST MOVIE HERE."
"No, it's fine I'm just.."
"MOVIE, MOVIE HERE."
Oh what the fuck. I didn't have the heart to keep repeating myself, or dumbdown my speech and seem like I'm making fun of him, so I apologized and left >_>. They were all bootlegs anyway.
Speaking of bootlegs.. your dollar is 2.5 times the value right? So I figure, hey, I got a new Xbox 360, let's grab some games!
Nah.
Everything is either 5 years old, or it's a bootleg. FFS, PS2s are the like latest craze, and they put it on booths to let people try >_>.
Overall, it's fine. Got to experience some new stuff, and I can say with certainty I have visited JB. Going back there? Well I don't know. I better have a very good reason to.
