yoz!
rather happy now. for no reason..no apparent reasons anyway..hehe! i'm juz like suddenly hyper. don't mind it. =D
was playing with the X-stitch converter which i got today..i showed it to my dad at the shop, asking him if he'll sponsor..he looked at it..said,"yes, i support your girly stuff." had a good time laughing after that. lolz. anywayz, was playing with it..experimenting with the converted pictures..woah! big. lolz. also, found this er..existing library of those cute cartoon 2D pictures..looks fun! esp. that two little rabbits! shall get black stitching cloth..bet they'll look fabulous! hehe!
guess the prospect of going out with a item to buy cheers me up. hehe. sidetracking is fun! but one can only sidetrack if there's a main track right? hehe. lalala! i'm hyper. i love myself. lalala!
oya! lemme talk about that praxis game, life @ play is the title if i'm not mistaken. it's this game which involves..(braces herself)..economy cycles, insurance, retirement plans, saving cards, properties, stocks (6 kinds), jobs (private, public sector), those are the main ones. (catching breath~) there's those nitty-gritty details like, gameshow, lucky draw, vacation, donation, year-end bonus (from your job), best worker of the year (50% of wages). there's also the taxes, imcome tax, property tax..and even property damage! fun ehz. =P i think i've juz named the whole board. lolz. there's like..10 decks of cards. it's bloody complicated. but once you get the hang of it..woohoo! fun. ohhhh! there's the loan shark. though i didn't have any dealings with him (thank goodness). hehe. exorbitant rates i tell you. at least it stops at 100% interest rates. simple not compound interest. phew. lolz.
okay, below are the "ways to play the game". skip to the end of the entry if you're not interested. hehe. not that there's gonna be much at the end of entry..hmmm.
first the economy cycles. made up of boom, recession, slump, recovery. these terms shouldn't be alien to you people out there. this is the real world, the economy is unstable. but i've found out..not everyone knows..me probably privileged. coz my dad works in the business section of the newspaper..so i'd learnt (unknowingly) about these stuff, even if i don't really recognize the terms. hehe. back to those cards. cards change when a player steps on original box which all started on. those cards decide the probability of your stocks rising, you getting a job, a promotion, or even getting retrenched. (i've gotten that so many times. i lost count. -.-) the price of the property, whether buying or selling. how much bonus you get, stuff like that. they're like the seasons of the year. hehe.
okok, i'll stop here. for those who'd skipped. there'll be more on the game. so..next entry..you can give it a miss too. =X and i shall quote my friend.
"stay tuned for part 2 after this commercial break!"
cyaz pple!
Sapphire!
