The New Year and WoW.

Just so that everyone knows i've actually managed to finally hit my max level in WoW already, as a matter of fact i already achieved that on tuesday. And now my journey into hell has just begun, so yeah thats what i've been doing for most of the chinese new year...playing WoW. For starters i don't visit relatives during the festive season and it has been this way for about a good 10 years and running already. The only time during the new year that i won't be free would be the good 1 to 2 hours of family dinner which consists of my dad and i. So every year the new year is the same for me, have dinner with dad on the eve and then i'll be free for whatever, whenever and whereever. That would be the main reason why i get the same amount (exactly same) of ang pow every year, if i do happen to drop by a friends house then its something extra la....seldom happens cause i don't really think its a good idea to get ang pow when i'm picking a friend or going out with him/her and so happens that i entered the house. Its like there is absolutely no sincerity in the visit, and makes me look bad in a way that i'm only there to get an ang pow...so i'd rather not.

My time has been screwed two times over again thanks to all the WoW playing, but at least for the moment i can see some progress in terms of my virtual character getting stronger with each and every passing day. There is so much to do even though i have maxed my level and there simply just isn't enough time to do it all. You know thinking about it, the game is pretty much like life, you study study study then you graduate and then bigger responsibilities come in that require your attention and for somewhat reason all these resposibilities never seem to cease. So in that sense its like the same thing, there just so much to do yet so little time. I was thinking of taking a break from the game for awhile, like a day or two...but somehow the question of what am i gonna do with all that free time came up. After a few hours of pondering i really can't think of a better way to spend my time, so i guess i'm just gonna do what i always do day in and day out until i get some job interviews....and hopefully that would be soon, so then at least i can do something more productive to myself and not my virtual self. With that said, i don't foresee any changes in my new year celebration in years to come...and i think i'm really content with all this free time to myself to do whatever i want (for now WoW) rather then going through all the hassle just to get money from relatives that i never see.
