OZ Nov15: Batemans Bay Day 2

This is the sunroom at the holiday house. It was also the best place to get good internet connection on your phone :P It was where we played Boggles. I found a set at the rack and taught the kids to play it. Their parents soon joined us.

The weather was once again not the beach-friendly type. Nevertheless, we checked out the nearest beach (for future refence), Corrigans Beach, which was a mere 5-min walk away. My sister and her hubby decided that it wasn't suitable for the kids to play at.

The tide was fierce. Gloomy weather.

We then made our long walk to the town area. We passed by some tennis courts, belonging to the local tennis club.

University of Wollongong's Batemans Bay campus, which basically consisted of 2 buildings @@. A skatepark was just a short distant away. There were some skaters and cyclists around.

Walking past the marina.

Seagulls!

We lunched at The Starfish Deli after my sister found some good reviews of it. It looked crowded but thank goodness we had seats right away.

The seafood platter (AUD56 for 2 pax) was delicious! I tasted everything there except for the fresh oysters. Shared this with my sister and one of my nephews.

Pizza for my b-i-l and the other nephew. Heard that it was good.

We then walked to the Mini Golf course. We purchased the Family Pack (AUD45) for 2 adults and 2 children (my sister sat this out to conserve energy for the walk back). We had plenty of fun, although at the end one of the boys were whinging about his scores lol.

After that, we had ice-cream. Remember the gloomy weather? Yes, it was getting a little colder by now and yet it was so warm in the ice-cream shop. Cunning lol.

I had Vienna coffee ice-cream. I hadn't had coffee ice-cream for a long time. It's one of my 2 favourite ice-cream (the other one is chocolate).

I remembered to take a photo of the Eat Siam restaurant where we dined the night before. The restaurant was at the second floor of the building on the left, one top of a fish & chips shop.

Halfway through our walk, it started raining and started getting colder. Good thing we brought umbrellas and also that it wasn't as heavy as tropical rain :)

We ended the night with home-cooked dinner and games of Boggles. Such a long and tiring day but fun!

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

-
Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I ...

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 2)

(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba...

Sudden lower body pain

-
About two weeks ago, my mum developed pain in her pelvic bone, much more on the right side, and squeezing pain in her legs, with occassional spike in pain. She was managing it with paracetamols, 2 tabs three times daily.  Since we didn't know any particular orthopedist in private hospitals (it was only recently that I remember Dr Prashant ), I targeted one at KPJ Penang Specialist Hospital since it's in mainland Penang (instead of on the island). I made appointment for my mum with Dr Joehaimey since he has the earliest suitable date. The moment she walked through his door, he immediately asked her whether the pain from her right side. We were both quite impressed. He was in turn impressed with mum's prepared list of medication that she presented to him on a piece of paper. The key information seems to be the surgery she had back in 2011 to insert titanium plate and screws in her lower spine. He guessed that there's accumalated wear and tear due to aging. So to confirm i...
