I repeated my Chocolatier game, w00t! Now I've got 6M++ and I'm not even past Paris yet.
So, Christmas is done. Merry Christmas everyone. =] I shall now review my wishlist and put the stuff I already have in bold, and cross out the stuff that I don't want anymore.
1. Gray Chucks

3. Animal Crossing for the Nintendo DS
4. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End 2 Disc Special Edition DVD
5. The Sweet Far Thing by Libba Bray (if it comes out this month)

Added wishlist items never posted:

22. BOOKS!
23. Column and editorial? (XDDD)
I got pretty nice stuff from my family this Christmas. (Well, I picked and bought most of my gifts, so of course I think they're nice. The gift givers just paid for them. Bwahaha.) A lot of my friends gave movies or books. w00t! Love you guys! The other stuff is cool as well. Thanksies! Gotta love my new guardian. ;]
Whenever I go visit other people's blogs, I always wish that mine was more interesting.
Hm.. What can I do so that my blog posts aren't just random drivel? Maybe I can write short paragraphs about random things. Wait, aren't I already doing that? Maybe I should be more theoretical or general or whatever. Yeah, I can do that. I can write about things that annoy me as well. Or something. Yeah. Hahaha. Well, I'm making a resolution to work harder on this blog by posting thoughts rather than just events and lists (though those will be coming back every now and then) like I used to on my old blog. Yeah. Hahaha.
Let's see...
Have you guys ever noticed that the service at good restaurants at MoA is terrible? We ate at Italianni's there about a week ago and God, was it annoying. You know, we're always so used to great servers at Italianni's 'coz we always eat at the ATC branch. We eat there so much that some of them know us already. Haha. You know, they move fast, memorize your order, make sure your water glass is full, that kinda stuff. Duh. Italianni's.
At MoA, we had to wait about 20 minutes and ask 4 times before they gave us our bread basket. We had to call someone at least twice (even if the manager was right there nearly beside us) before they noticed. They even forgot to give us one of our orders. We asked one of the servers to check if the chefs had already started preparing it, and to cancel it if they hadn't, and she didn't even come back to say that she had it cancelled already. How were we supposed to know when we could ask for the bill? Argh.
So, lesson learned, if you're at MoA and want to eat dinner, stick to self service places, or restaurants where you don't expect stellar service. Or better yet, go eat at Blue Wave.
Don't go to Starbucks at MoA when there are a lot of people either. Your coffee will taste like hot water with a splash of milk and sugar. And you thought it was a Toffee Nut Latte. There's Starbucks at Blue Wave too.
w00t! A complaint post! Well, it's a start.
Now, just so stuff isn't so different, a list post! I stole this from Mars's site. Let's give my new baby Kaoru (my iPod) a spin, shall we? Let's see if he's psychic like Ryuuichi (the old one) was.
