wyred to the world
In my 2 years of FFXI career, this is the first NM that I’ve tried camping that drops something of value. Currently this katana is worth 700k because of 25% less spell interruption rate.
Previously, my most valuable drops from NMs that I’ve camped myself is Mist Silk Cape from our dear Spiny Spipi.
Dear Tuufless,

P.S.: It’s my mum’s cooking.
Finally have Al’Taieu access.
Thanks to Shelaさん for organizing and re-doing the missions all over again with the rest of us.
In Al’Taieu, many creatures resemble sea creatures in real life, I think this is why many simple refer to it as Sea. (There’s even an auto-translate word for it).
Up here is a flying jellyfish. I heard it’s pretty tough so we kept avoiding it by not running below it.
Creature on my left is probably a dolphin. The blue one resembles a stingray.
Non-sea-related pic. But I find this pose so funny I tried doing it in real-life except holding a roll of toilet paper.
I kind of liked Al’Taieu because in real life, I have fascination with sea creatures. Sharks, octopus, giant squids, etc. All thanks to science-fiction films. [:D]
Honestly, I’m a little disappointed with Al’Taieu as it’s only a small area to explore. Once you’ve finished the mini-quest by talking to all the 20 Quasiliums for the map, you’ve already run around half of Al’Taieu. I haven’t explored the Grand Palace of Hu’Xzoi and the Garden of Ru’Hmet yet but judging from the maps I’ve seen, it looks pretty simple.
A lot of shit happened last week. Both good and bad. I don’t know whether to feel happy or sad. 40% of me now wants to quit FFXI because of the growing population of immature players. I don’t care how old they are but as long as they act like a kid around me, I don’t like them. The other 60% of me wants to stay because of the friends I’ve made.
But I won’t give in just yet. There’s still much enjoyment in this game waiting for me and friends I want to adventure with. (Areu, get a hold of yourself and organize something fun for us for once.)
A few months ago, I mentioned about getting a new phone. Well, I went ahead and bought one without signing another 2 year contract for a discount. So it’s S$448 for my new Nokia 6170. I love it’s steel surface and classy look. And after some googling, I’ve managed to get the PC Suite working with my phone.
Here’s a photo of my desk at work.

Not too shabby and not very good but I think it’s acceptable so far.
