~Gloria~

I got to know this fun-loving gal from Hong Kong, Gloria, during one of TUI's many photography lessons. Her beauty captivated me and I just IM-ed her my praises for her! Later, we embarked on a j0urney much treaded on by females in SL - shopping! haha! We teleported to many different SIMs and it was later that I realised why SL economy manages to thrive despite all the bugs and what not! Like perhaps many other citizens, she spends money - lots and lots of it! lolx

Anyway, we had so much fun that we shopped for several days consecutively and exploring SIMs.



G and me in a Japanese SIM chatting this cat up...meooooooow....and no, it cannot speak! And sorry peeps! I lost the lm. heh...

There was once Gloria and I were in a shop selling different skins and shapes. We were having so much fun messing with the photo studio (yeah...we looooove taking photographs as we were so into modelling contests!) when this bugger had to come and mess with us both! Ha! I shall not reveal much about his appearance, but what put us off was his beahviour! He was stark NAKED with his "tool" dangling and chatting us up in a very unwelcoming and rude manner. Despite our attempts to shoo him off, quoting from the T&C of SL SIMs (no griefing and appearing naked in that SIM), he was still there, making indecent requests. Ha! He had it from us ultimately! I never knew GIRL POWER could be one of the most destructive weapon in the world! Together, Gloria and I were like having a "talk-show", making comments about how miserable he had made himself look and etc. Poof! He went off after feeling defeated and his ego bruised! muahahaha! I'm never a quarrelsome person even in RL but boy! This man really deserved the lashing! :D

Oh yes, back to Gloria. She is funny, intelligent, helpful (esp in shopping!), gorgeous, and most of all, genuine. I miss the times we have, Gloria! Come back into SL! Don't be so busy with your fiance! Ask him to come into SL too and show y0u some Linden love so that we can go shopping again! ^^ Yeah! She is THAT fortunate to have her RL fiance to login, exhaust his bank account and fatten Gloria's wallet and then log off! Man! Where / when can I get someone like that? awww... lol

Arh well, perhaps we shall see each other in MSN and Facebook yeah? :) Do check them regularly dear! Missing ya! muacks!

~My Mentor - Vixsilver Yoshikawa~

I thought I should blog about my friends as they are the ones that make this SL game all worthwhile! I decided to dedicate my first post (on friends) to someone who was there to help me up and be strong and most importantly, to be a genuine friend in the virtual world.

Vix, like me, is a Singaporean too. A newbie me bumped into her in a shop (if my memory doesn't fail me). I was asking in public chat for help. She was very helpful to come to me and subsequently, we have been friends since then! Oh yes, have I mentioned my first Linden dollar came from her? She gave me L$200 when she knew I needed it just in case. So thoughtful of her really. :)

Vix has a keen sense for fashion and beautiful things, and this has gotten her a position with BareRose. :) See her blog site in my picks! ^^ Anyway, she helped me with my makeover - got rid of my newbie stiff hair, freckled pale yellow skin etc. Sounds too familiar! Yep! It's the default skin that every newbie has!

As you can expect, we spent lots of time shopping, contributing to the SL economy (surely we can garner the good SL-tizens award? lol) and bitching around. LOL. But she was also there when I felt lost. I was going through a hard time in my first SL relationship which was unexpected in the first place. Vix was a listener and a good adviser too. She was there when I needed someone to talk to.

There was once when I was at Vix's place and I was having a fight with him at the same time. She was very considerate and thoughtful and such a dear when she exited her house so that I could sit down on her couch and type in peace! Hard to believe huh? Yes...she's Vix. One reason why I wish to be her RL friend is this trait of hers - that she's a very genuine person who does not see the need to conform to societal rules and ever so ready to help a friend in need and is sincere about it - someone who is quite hard to find in RL and even more so in SL!

There are so many things apart from the above traits that she possess - she's talented, has an artistic flair, generous, humorous, fun, wild blah blah blah...

Vix, this is a tribute to you, for being there for me all the time, for never forsaking me as a friend, for all the knowledge you have generously shared. I know I can be quite persistent in my asking of questions, which can get the most patient person to feel anything but calm, but you have shown such great patience with me when you taught me things (though I truly suspect you nearly burst your blood vessels!).

For all these, I love ya! :) I'm heterosexual...just to clarify. lol
