Shitty week and tiring weekend!

I had a bad long last week - so bad that I can feel my life is being drained out gradually and slowly out of my body. Well, that's work. I try not to let work get to me. I am sure next week is going to be worse, so I am ready for it. I was so glad when it was Friday that I have a 2-day break from work (yet, 2 days is a bit too short). Work was not smooth at all last week - too many "interesting" and "exciting" stuff. A new thing for me, and I somehow maybe have screwed it up. Let's see what will happen next week. My head was spinning all the time at work due to the lack of sleep I guess. Or, it is just the age talking. Time to break free and have another change. I am good with that, I guess.

Nowadays I use gym / fitness every morning (even though only about 40 / 45 minutes because need to leave the gym before 8am) and video games every evening (even though only 1 / 2 hours or so because after I got home it was already about 9 every day). Somehow that only makes me even more tired every day - not a bad thing I guess. Games that I am playing is Valkyria Chronicles. It is amazing that I have already spent 12 hours in this game since I have started with it about a week ago.


This game can be very brain-draining and time-consuming. It is a role-playing strategic game. Sega has certainly delivered a masterpiece that could merge these two genres seamlessly with impressive depth from the perspective of both the story and game play. One thing I want to complain about this game is that it can be too challenging and frustrating sometimes. This weekend I am surprised that I have actually spent about 6 hours in total in this game!

Of course, in addition to game, I went to the gym, did my laundry, cleaning, those normal stuff. In fact I went to Sham Shui Po to window shop games - just a nice break out of the house. Even though I didn't plan on buying anything, I bought something. Yes, I bought Bayonetta. I have heard and read so many things about this game, and certainly would love to give it a try. Well, I haven't cracked open it yet, but soon, when I am so damn stressed because of work and need to have some virtual-ass-kicking-stress release, then the game is my remedy. I certainly need a holiday. I do miss Netherlands - a more peaceful (yet boring) lifestyle!
