Holi-MiZ 8: Warcraft and Flute Pieces

06 Jun 2005
Woke up quite late at about 8.30am as I felt too lazy to get up from the bed, even though I had woken up many times between 6am to 8am. I decided to buy the breakfast from McDonald's back home instead as I felt like eating such food. After breakfast, I use the computer to surf the internet before going out again.

Went out at about 10.45am. Firstly I went to Funan Digitalife Mall. I decided to buy original copy of "Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos" and "Warcraft III: Frozen Throne" as the one my friends had lended me did not work that well on my computer and laptop. Well, I managed to find "Warcraft III: Battle Chest" set, which contained both "Reign of Chaos" and "Frozen Throne". It cost $74.90, considering reasonably priced since it also contains "Reign of Chaos" and "Frozen Throne" strategy guides as well (which I don't think I will get to read it, anyway).

After that, I went to Tanjong Katong Complex to go to Synwin Enterprise to look out for some books, but when I reached there, I realised that they closed on Monday. Too bad for me... perhaps next time then... After that, I went to Yamaha Music School at Plaza Singapura to browse through some of the scores there. I ythen chanced upon a Flute Exam Pieces CDs 2004-2007 on the shelves there. Well, I wanted to get the Grade 8 one to listen to what the pieces are, even though I did not learn flute at all. Well, they had one copy there, selling at a price of $67. As they gave out another 5% discount for Yamaha members (both students and non-students who applied for membership card), I did not hesitate to get a copy of it. Well, it cost $60.30 after the 10% discount. After that, I then went back straight home.

After I reached home, I switched on all of my 2 computers and laptop, and start installing "Warcraft III" on the faster computer first, before I proceed on to the laptop. The slower computer was used to play my "Grade 8 Flute Exam Pieces 2004-2007" CDs. Well, I have to say that the pieces are really nice, especially those from List A.

While installing "Warcraft III", I asked WB a lot of questions about installation and some other stuffs about "Warcraft III". Hmm... wonder if I could have bothered WB a lot... think I had blasted a lot of questions to him on MSN... Well, I was still not really sure about the patch thing and also some other parties stuff as well...

Well, I managed to install "Warcraft III" successfully, including some other programmes related to "Warcraft III", "Defence of the Ancients (DotA)", Local Area Network (LAN) gaming and so on as well. I then had my early dinner after that as I had to leave home earlier to book in to camp as my father was not fetching me there as he had to go out of sea for work.

Hmm... ok, I have installed "Warcraft III" onto my computer already, and put those "DotA" maps onto the map folder, but I don't think I will be playing that often. Don't forget that there are too much things for me to do when I book out of camp, like playing GameCube games, online message board, MSN chats, blogs, shopping, movies, piano practices, violin practices and lessons and so on... just too many that I couldn't get to do all these in such a short weekend.

Ok, if you want to listen, I may put up some of the Flute pieces here as samples (only the shorter pieces as they take up lesser bandwidth).
